<p>Large environmental, health, social and economical problems are connected with the use of</p><p>fossil fuels and, in a dominating part of the world, also the use of firewood. The goal for this</p><p>project was to develop and design an optimal solar oven system intended for food cooking</p><p>and water pasteurisation. Further the advantages and disadvantages, compared with other</p><p>energy resources were evaluated. Tests were carried out in Sweden as well as in Sri Lanka.</p><p>An extensive range of prototypes were tested and sifted out to a small number of designs that</p><p>were tested in Sri Lanka. A large number of evaluations and tests were carried out on many</p><p>different materials, among others tests were conducted according to the international standard</p><p>“Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance ASAE S580 JAN03”.</p><p>The report shows a number of benefits compared to previous reports on the subject, for</p><p>example the development of indoor tests, the extensiveness and objectiveness of the tests, and</p><p>the fact that the report combines extensive practical test results with solid theoretical</p><p>background information.</p><p>The test resulted in two solar ovens with the same parabolic design but made out of different</p><p>materials. One oven is cheaper, simpler to produce and is considered for the target group poor</p><p>people in developing countries. This is made out of a corrugated cardboard that is covered</p><p>with aluminium foil. The second oven is more expensive but also more durable and is</p><p>intended for more wealthy people in the west that wants a good alternative to regular ways of</p><p>cooking food. It is made out of aluminium plate and mirrors.</p>
