  1. EPA Solar Oven Project #05301 Critical Design Review May 13, 2005

  2. Team Solar Oven 05301 EPA Solar Oven

  3. Agenda • Introduction • Needs Assessment • Specifications/Requirements • Feasibility Assessment • Materials Selection • Concept Development & Designs • Testing Methodology • Future Work • Questions 05301 EPA Solar Oven

  4. Project Mission Statement • Design, test, and build a low-cost solar oven for use in Latin American countries using locally available resources, mass production methods, and labor Note: Objective is not to reinvent the wheel, rather to make it suitable for use in rural Latin America 05301 EPA Solar Oven

  5. Needs Assessment: Scope Limitations • Design should only incorporate locally available resources, production methods, and labor • Design should be mass-producible • Design must be durable • Design must be able to cook food and pasteurize water • Must perform user testing to ensure ease of use 05301 EPA Solar Oven

  6. Needs Assessment: Scope Limitations (Cont’d) • Design must be benchmarked against three commercially available units • Thermal analysis must be conducted on prototypes • With Graduate student assistance • Economic, social, environmental impact • Lifecycle and durability analysis 05301 EPA Solar Oven
