The Renewable Energy Center from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (CER-UNI) develops and promotes research in the field of non conventional and renewable energy resources technologies (ER&NC). Food cooking with solar energy and solar cookers has been going on for 30 years now. And in the last years we have seen an unusual interest in the matter in many countries in the world including Perú. This is the reason why solar cooking models of many characteristics have been promoted. The solar cooker that is part of this work is called Solar Steam Cooker (CVS) because of the physical phenomenon produced that generates cooking. In fact, by a Compound Parabolic Concentrator (solar collector), the steam generated goes to a cooking container through pipers, here, the steam surrounds it completely transferring the heat to the food that is in it. Results on tests made in the Laboratory of...

El Centro de Energías Renovables de la Universidad Nacional de lngeniería (CER-UNI) promueve y desarrolla investigaciones en el ámbito de las tecnologías de las fuentes de energías renovables y no convencionales (ER&NC). Si bien el tema de la cocción de alimentos con energía solar y las cocinas solares correspondientes data de más de 30 años, es también cierto que en los últimos tiempos ha cobrado inusitado interés en varios países del mundo, incluido el Perú y se vienen promocionando y difundiendo modelos de cocinas solares de diversas características. La cocina solar que motiva este trabajo la denominamos COCINA DE VAPOR SOLAR -CVS- sobre la base del fenómeno físico producido en ella que genera la cocción de los alimentos. En efecto, mediante un colector solar del tipo Concentrador Parabólico Compuesto o CPC (Compound Parabolic Concentrator), se genera vapor a presiÃ...
