Design and Prototype Specifications for an Indirect Solar-Thermal Multi-Pot Cooking System with Thermosiphon Circulation

Key Points

• The central aim is to design a multi-pot solar cooking machine that uses indirect heat transfer.
• Developed a design for an indirect solar-thermal cooking system.
• Incorporated a solar thermal collector and an insulated thermal storage tank.
• Utilized a copper-coil heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer efficiency.
• Prototyped a functional design suitable for cooking multiple pots simultaneously.
• Demonstrated reduced reliance on LPG and traditional fuels using the new cooking system.
