Due to the high cost of these collectors, several researchers have invested in the design of new prototypes both solar collectors and sterilizers, based on less expensive materials. It has also observed that solar autoclave can hold a pressure steam of 0.10 MPa keeping the internal temperature at 121–140 °C for about 15–20 min. 1. Introduction
A solar autoclave is one of best sterilization technologies that operated completely on solar radiation, which is a powerful energy source, environment friendly, and can be easily converted into thermal energy to power an autoclave by using solar thermal collectors with low maintenance costs.
The Solarclave consisted in a parabolic reflector that concentrated the solar energy to a small boiler, it generated steam and after transferred the energy to an insulated pressure vessel. The aim was to achieve high pressure steam at 0.10 MPa and internal temperature on the vessel at 121 °C.
The autoclave was a standard stovetop with capacity of 21 L pressure cooker with the pressure of 0.10 MPa. In terms of energy, the results of the study have shown that the solar concentrator may be a viable solution to power the autoclave since it can generate steam at the temperature and pressure required for sterilization of medical equipment.
Conventional solar thermal technologies were the first to be used in solar autoclave prototypes. The 2000s were dominated with the new thermal solar technology designs such as panel cooker, parabolic reflector, parabolic cooker, Fresnel collector and box cooker.
