Photovoltaic+Camping+Oven+-+Drawer+Concept

Main Idea:

Create a highly insulated oven with a pull out drawer for quick and safe access to food.

Our Overall Design:




 * Design is rectangular and sturdy, allowing for easy stacking while storing or traveling.
 * Drawer allows safe access to food (the user does not have to reach into the hot oven).
 * Drawer can latch tightly to the body of the oven, making a good seal with a double gasket system (minimizing heat loss).
 * Structural support is plastic/insulation combination, which minimizes thermal bridging.
 * Clean looking design, aimed towards the American consumer.

Analysis:

**Iterative Excel Worksheets:** 1) Heat loss calculations for a variety of common insulations with variable oven dimensions

2) Calculates the amount of thermal storage needed to heat water to boiling point for several different thermal masses
