    Market Survey

    You need to check yourself a market prospect of the product

    selected by you before launch a venture. You should rely merely

    upon institution or here say to access the market prospect. A

    comprehension market study is must be specific advantage of

    such a study are.

    It enables you to evaluate viability of an enterprise by arcingat a year estimate of seals.

    It makes it possible for you to estimate scale and utilization

    of install capacity with reference propose enterprise.

    You can judge weather proposed capacity is on higher and

    lower size.

    It provident a preliminary input for the marketing strategy

    and process formulation or the enterprise (A market programis a set decision refried in a respect of various market

    related to issued it influents the market performance of an

    enterprise.)

    Market survey is usually focused on gross market demands

    present and future. It typically highlights the gaps between

    expected market demand and supply in respect offer given

    product. Such a gap could be positive (demand exceed supply)and therefore favorable. The gap could be negative a favorable

    gap is does not guaranty market success for an enterprise a

    SOLAR ENERGY

    Solar poweris the generation ofelectricity from sunlight.This can be direct as with photovoltaics (PV), or indirect aswith concentrating solar power(CSP), where the sun'senergy is focused to boil water which is then used to providepower.

    Solar power has the potential to provide over 1,000 timestotal world energy consumption in 2008, though it providedonly 0.02% of the total that year.

    Solar power is a predictably intermittent energy source,meaning that whilst solar power is not available at all times,we can predict with a very good degree of accuracy when itwill and will not be available.

    Some technologies, such as solar thermal concentrators

    have an element of thermal storage, such as molten salts. These store spare solar energy in the form of heat which is

    made available overnight or during periods that solar poweris not available to produce electricity.

    from it to the external environment, cooling thecontents to a temperature below ambient.

    Cooling is a popular food storage technique indeveloped countries and works by decreasingthe reproducton rate of bacteria. The device isthus used to reduce the rate of spoilage offoodstuffs.

    A device described as a "refrigerator" maintainsa temperature a few degrees above the freezingpoint of water; a similar device which maintainsa temperature below the freezing point of wateris called a "freezer."

    The refrigerator is a relatively modern inventionamong kitchen appliances. It replaced theicebox, which had been a common householdappliance for almost a century and a half prior.For this reason, a refrigerator is sometimesreferred to as an "icebox".

    Solar powered refrigerator

    Solar-powered refrigerators are mostcommonly used in the developing world to helpmitigate poverty and climate change.

    By harnessing solar energy, these

    refrigerators are able to keep perishablegoods such as meat and dairy cool in hotclimates, and are used to keep much needed

    vaccines at their appropriate temperature to

    avoid spoilage. The portable devices can be constructed with

    simple components and are perfect for areasof the developing world where electricity isunreliable or non-existent.

    Environmental Impacts of Refrigerators

    There is major environmental concernregarding conventional refrigerationtechnologies including contribution to ozonelayer depletion and global warming.

    Refrigerators which contain ozone depletingand global warming substances such aschlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), in their insulationfoam or their refrigerant cycle are the mostharmful.

    After CFCs were banned in the 1980s theywere replaced with substances such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which are ozone

    depleting substances and hydro fluorocarbons(HFCs).

    Both are environmentally destructive aspotential global warming chemicals.

    If a refrigerator is inefficient it will alsocontribute to global warming.

    The use of solar energy to power refrigerationstrives to minimize the negative impacts

    refrigerators have on the.

    History of Solar Refrigeration

    "In developed countries, plug-in refrigeratorswith backup generators store vaccines safely,but in developing countries, where electricitysupplies can be unreliable, alternative

    refrigeration technologies are required. Solar fridges were introduced in the

    developing world to cut down on the use ofkerosene or gas-powered absorptionrefrigerated coolers which are the mostcommon alternatives.

    They are used for both vaccine storage andhousehold applications in areas without

    reliable electrical supply because they havepoor or no grid electricity at all.

    They burn a liter of kerosene per daytherefore requiring a constant supply of fuelwhich is costly and smelly, and are responsiblefor the production of large amounts of carbondioxide.

    They can also be difficult to adjust which canresult in the freezing of medicine.

    There are two main types of solar fridges thathave been and are currently being used, one

    30

  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    31/54

    that uses a battery and more recently, one

    that does not.

    Battery Supplemented Solar Refrigerator

    Traditionally solar-powered refrigerators andvaccine coolers use a combination of solarpanels and lead batteries to store energy forcloudy days and at night in the absence ofsunlight to keep their contents cool.

    These fridges are expensive and requireheavy lead-acid batteries which tend todeteriorate, especially in hot climates, or aremisused for other purposes.

    31

  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    32/54

    In addition, the batteries require maintenance,must be replaced approximately every threeyears, and must be disposed of as hazardouswastes possibly resulting in lead pollution.

    These problems and the resulting higher costshave been an obstacle for the use of solarpowered refrigerators in developing areas.

    Portable Solar Powered Fridge

    A Portable solar powered fridge has beenproduced for use in the developing world. Thebasic design uses the principle of evaporation.

    The fridge is solar powered, but does notrequire solar panels, and can be made frombasic household material lowering the cost andmaking access to the developing world easier.

    32

  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    33/54

    Without using any power the fridge can keepperishable at a temperature of 6 degreesCelsius for days.

    How it works

    The refrigerator employs a combination ofheat conduction and convection, requires noelectricity and can be made for commonly

    available material such as cardboard, sand andrecycled metal.

    The device is composed of two cylinders. Theinner metal cylinder is fitted inside the outer

    33

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_conductionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convectionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_conductionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection
  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    34/54

    cylinder which can be made from what ever

    the person has access to including wood orplastic.

    Space is left between the inner and outerchamber to be filled with organic materialwhich can include sand, wool or soil that isthen saturated with water.

    As heat from the sun evaporates the water,the inner chamber cools reducing andmaintaining the temperature at 43 F (6 C).

    The way a refrigerator keeps food cool is through theprocess ofevaporation.

    34

    http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-evaporation.htmhttp://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-evaporation.htm
  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    35/54

    When a liquid turns into a gas, it absorbs heat and

    makes the temperature lower. In most electrically-powered refrigerators, this is

    achieved by the electric motor powering acompressor, which turns the refrigerant gas into aliquid.

    When the pressure is removed, the refrigerant turnsback into a gas and absorbs heat.

    In a solar refrigerator, the refrigerant is replacedwith ammonia or lithium bromide mixed with water.

    The heat of the sun is used to increase the pressureof the gas, which turns into a liquid, just like in anelectric refrigerator.

    When the heat is removed, the liquid evaporatesand lowers the temperature.

    Scientists believe that solar refrigeration can be a

    great investment for the developing world.

    It could allow small villages to store medication andfood without electricity.

    Usage

    The portable solar fridge is used in areas of Africasuch as Zambia, Namibia, and South Africa in areaswhere electricity is often not readily accessible tohelp preserve perishable foods such as meat anddairy, however, is not yet being used for vaccines. It

    is easily transported and reduces negativeenvironmental impacts but is limited by size andrequires the availability of water.

    Many of the vaccines used to control diseasesrequire cold temperatures for preservation. Withouta reliable power infrastructure, developing countriesoften lack the resources to keep these vaccines coolfor an extended time period, hampering the ability toadequately protect citizens. It is estimated that 50percent of vaccines in rural areas are wasted due tospoilage.

    By NASA to provide power for satellites andspacecraft, photovoltaics is a viable source ofenergy used to light over 1 million rural homesaround the world. Photovoltaic (PV) cells directlyconvert sunlight into electricity, without having toutilize limited fossil fuel resources. PV energycontributes to improved air quality and aids in thereduction of greenhouse gases that play a role in

    global warming. For example, when it displaces coal-

    fired generation, a common source of electricityamong power plants, harmful sulfur dioxide andnitrous oxide emissions are eliminated.

    Most homes running on PV energy, however, employsimplistic lighting systems that are incapable ofproviding refrigeration. This can be especiallytroublesome for areas in which no conventionalpower source exists, including remote automated

    weather stations, forest stations, and Third Worldvillages.

    In the midst of developing battery-free, solar-powered refrigeration and air conditioning systemsfor habitats in space, David Bergeron, the teamleader for NASAs Advanced Refrigerator Technology

    Team at Johnson Space Center, acknowledged theneed for a comparable solar refrigerator that could

    operate in conjunction with the simple lightingsystems already in place on Earth. Bergeron, a 20-year veteran in the aerospace industry, founded thecompany Souls Refrigeration, Inc., in 1999 to takethe patented advanced refrigeration technology heco developed with his teammate, Johnson engineer

    It is also important to know that a liquid can be made to boil at a

    very low temperature by altering the pressure. While water boils at 100C at atmospheric pressure, it can be

    boiled at 0C under a very high vacuum.

    A refrigerator operates by allowing the refrigerant to boil attemperatures as low as the desired cold space temperature.

    Eventually, the evaporated refrigerant must be condensed back toa liquid to repeat the cycle for continued cooling.

    While a typical home refrigerator relies on an electric condenser toturn the gaseous refrigerant back to our liquid, our system useschemical processes to drive the evaporation and condensation ofthe refrigerant.

    While pure ethanol may be difficult to find indeveloping countries, liquor with high alcoholcontent can be used in its place. As our ethanol boils,it is absorbed by activated charcoal, a porous solidthat is often used in fish tank and drinking waterfilters to remove impurities.

    In our refrigerator, the activated carbon allows thesystem to maintain a constant pressure as theethanol evaporates.

    When the sun heats our solar collector andactivated charcoal bed in the middle of the day, theheat causes the release of the adsorbed ethanol.

    The raised pressure and condenser cooling allow theethanol to return to a liquid state so it can beevaporated again to cool the refrigerator.

    COSTING

    It is the determination of actual cost of anarticle after adding different expenses incurring

    in various department. It may also define assystem which systematically records all the

    expenditure incurred in various departments todetermine the cost of manufacture.

    45

    AIM OF COSTING:

    The important of costing are as follows

    1. To determine the cost of each article.

    2. To determine the cost of each article

    Operation.

    3. To help in deciding sale price.4. To supply information for the detection of

    Waste.

    5. It helps in reducing the total cost of manufacture.

    PROCEDURE OF COSTING:

    Costing is the technique and process of ascertainingcost. It is the classifying, recording and appropriate

    allocation expenditure for determination of the cost ofthe production or service.

    The main elements of cost of any product are as under,

    1. Material cost.

    2. Labour cost.

    3. Expenses.

    47

    COST ESTIMATION

    An approximate costing of the project was done on the

    basis of market survey. Costing of the product can be workout based on some simple assumption used by the

    industries:-

    For the purpose of costing, some basic considerations are

    given below:-

    a. Direct expenses : 5% of the material cost

    b. Factory overhead : 5% of the prime cost

    48

  • 8/3/2019 Solar Refrigerator 123

    49/54

    c. Selling overhead : 10% of factory cost

    d. Profit : 25% of production cost

    49

    50/54

    SELLING PRICE OF PROJECT IN MARKET

    a. prime cost of products is:

    Material cost + Labour cost + Expenses

    = + +

    =

    b. Factory overhead:

    5% of prime cost

    =

    c. Factory cost:

    Prime cost + Factory overhead

    =

    d. Selling overhead:

    20% of factory cost

    =

    e. Production cost:

    Factory cost + selling overhead

    =

    f. Profit:25% of the production cost

    =

    50

    Therefore the selling price of the product is

    Total cost + Profit = Rs.

    OUTLINE PROCESS CHART

    It is often desired to obtain a birds eye view of a

    whole process of activities. It gives an overall view

    of the process or activity. It is a graphic

    representation of the sequence of all of the

    operation and inspection involved in a process orprocedure.

    The entry points of material are also indicated. It

    does not indicate where the work takes place or who

    performs it. Other activities like delays of materials

    are also indicated.

    This chart is very useful for initial analysis and it

    proceeds starting point for critical e* animations.The OPC is shown in the figure

    CONCLUSION

    After completing the major project on solar refrigeartor we

    are much happy and would Like to thank our professor, guides

    and the lectures of the concerned department who have guided

    us.

    While making this minor project we have been able to learn

    a lot and understand the various aspects of Heat Exchanger we

    can use our knowledge, which we get during our study.
