Solar Energy in Food Processing by Har Ham is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the development of a low-cost solar heating system for food processing applications. It discusses designing a parabolic trough concentrator and heat exchanger to heat fluids to temperatures required for processes like boiling milk and deep frying foods. The concentrator is made of anodized aluminum with a 120cm aperture. A copper tube carries the heat transfer fluid and heats a processing container through the heat exchanger. Initial tests showed satisfactory results for utilizing s
