| Abstract: | The present invention provides a solar-based multipurpose utility system which is an integrated appliance that uses solar energy to perform various utility functions such as cooking, ice melting, water heating, room heating, and food drying. The phase change material has been used in the system for enhancing the thermal storage capacity of the system. The invention supports the idea of providing wireless remote control for the overall system to the end-user using IoT-based sensors and devices. IoT-based sensors provide an automatic system parameters control mechanism for controlling the temperature, humidity and hot airflow rate in the drying chamber as per the requirement of food drying applications. The system mainly comprises of Fresnel lens with cover (21), Fresnel lens (22), ice pot (23), water pipe (24), reflector (25), water storage tank (26), blower (13), phase change material (PCM) filled in evacuated tube arrangement (27), hot air sprayer (28), water filter (15), battery with electronic components (3), water tap (29), temperature and humidity sensor (16), exhaust fan (12), and solar panel (1) (Fig. 1). This integrated system is designed in such a way that the system can be operated on AC mains supply as well as the solar energy stored by the system can be used to operate household appliances. This system has the advantage of providing an eco-friendly utility appliance for an energy-deficit area to perform various day-to-day activities economically. | ||
