Self Sustainable Heater (5th May 2010)

 
5th May 2010
Mr Andrew Kon's Office

Attendee:

• Mr Andrew Kon
• Mr Desmond Lim
• Tan Kian How
• Marcus Tan
• Brenda Chen

Tasks Done:

• Discussion on self sustainable heater which does not requires electricity

• Decided on Ethanol Heater

• Using solar energy to heat up ethanol, allowing it to enter the vapourised form and then channeling that heat energy to the waste inside. 

• Ethanol would then be vapourised and contain heat energy

• Heat energy would then be pass onto the waste inside

• Ethanol would condense back to liquid form and the cycle repeats.

• As ethanol would only vapourise at 78° C, temperature inside would be kept constant.

Tasks To Do:

• Research on more self sustainable heaters that do not require electricity
