  • Abstract
    A metering device for the determination of solar cooker use rate is presented. The device records food temperature, ambient temperature and irradiance. Automatic data evaluation yields the number of cooking cycles, cooking time, food ‘‘thermal mass”, as well as the impact on fuel consumption and GHG emission compared to other cooking techniques. Metering results are compared with actual conditions for box-type and concentrating solar cookers and found to be in agreement. 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
