Solar Baking Unit
Description

The
solar baking unit is a scaled up version of the double reflector box
type solar cooler but designed to generate higher stagnant temperatures
suitable for baking purposes. In order to increase the solar radiation
entering the hot box, additional reflectors have been incorporated to
reduce the cooking time. In this cooker, twin reflector mirrors
(unbreakable acrylic mirror) are fixed. It is effective in central and
North India especially in winter season. It is useful for cooking food
and baking. As compared to the box type solar cooker with one mirror
available in the market, the twin reflector solar baking unit is capable
of maintaining 25 to 30°C higher temperature. It saves 20% time spent
in co()king food drying winter and 12-16% of time during other months.
It has thermostat controlled electrical back up of 1 kW capacity so that
proper baking can be continued even when there is sudden cloudiness
while baking is in progress. It is also suitable as a community cooker
for up to 10 persons.
