PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND REGENERATION OF ACTIVATED CHARCOAL BY SOLAR PARABOLIC DISH COLLECTOR

Recent years public interest in issue related to concern for the environment and energy saving. Due to the problem creating with the use of alternative source of energy, fossil fuel has become important and relevant in this competition. These sources, such as ocean wave, the sun, wind, can never be exhausted and are called renewable energy source. They also have known as non convectional sources of energy because it cause very less pollution and are available locally. The approach was to consider various aspects ranging from the analysis of the current energy consumption and the state of possible installation of a solar parabolic dish collector and their different uses. It is commonly assumed that dish type solar pressure cooker save energy and make a nutrient rich food. The energy concentration of dish solar collector has rarely been analyzed including their embodied energy. The energy provided by the dish collector has never integrated with regeneration of desiccant. The approach has been used to develop a parabolic dish collector integrated with the regeneration of desiccant material like activated charcoal.
