SPIHX

• Design and Testing of Two Low-Cost Solar Pasteurizers (2004)-

  This study and report was prepared by Robert J. Stevens and Richard R. Johnson for the North Carolina Solar Center. The purpose of this study is to first determine, and then test the best low-cost solar pasteurization systems for this potentially viable technology.

  The study first examines and describes four concept designs; a thin film polymer pasteurizer with an integral heat exchanger (SPIHX), a, a fully wetted copper SPIHX and a traditional fin and tube absorber with an external heat exchanger (SPEHX).
