Experiment code 17.9.3.29
Experiment Title Feasibility of box and concentrating Solar Cooker for formulation of herbal oil
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background In Dediapada of Gujarat, the farmer has taken traditional crops in his field and has not got higher productivity. In this region at present henna shurbs (“Lawsonia inermis L”), curry leaves ( Murraya koenigii ) , Banyan ( Ficus benghalensis ) , Amla ( Phyllanthus emblica ), Hibiscus ( Hibiscus rosasinensis ) are easily avilable on the bunds of field ,road sides or in forest. This region is endeavored with the average solar energy availability of 450-600W/m2 for 7-8 hrs in a day for 300 days in year. Solar Thermal application is a simple treatment of heating of herbal crush for extraction of oil for herbs. Keeping this in view, a study was undertaken to evaluation of box type and concentrating solar cooker for feasibility of herbal oil production.
