Anand Khokhar, Yogirajsinh Jadeja


The box type and parabolic solar cookers are commonly used for cooking of food in the noon. Among them, box type solar cooker is more popular due to its simplicity of handling and operation. The cooking applications of Glass Tube Type Solar Cooker have their applications in increasing the rate of evaporation of waste water, in food processing, for making drinking water from brackish and seawater. It produces a high temperature around 200°C and the food gets cooked in less time. Solar cooker must constantly be realigned with the orbiting sun for maximum effectiveness. Glass Tube Type Solar Cooker concentrates light to a larger surface, so it is slightly more tolerant for marginal errors of alignment.
