AB In this work, four different configurations of Copenhagen solar cookers were tested experimentally at thesame time under the same weather conditions. First tests were carried out using pots without water load.Secondly, tests were performed with the equal amount of water in each pot. Thirdly, tests were carriedout with different amounts of water for one of the configurations. From the results of the first set of tests,it was found that the performance of one of the configurations depends more significantly on the solaraltitude angle than the others. A large number of experiments for each set of tests were conductedcovering a wide range of solar altitude angles. A thermal performance analysis based on the ASAE S580.1standard was performed with the measured data of the second and third sets of tests. The obtained plotswith the observation points of each configuration evidence that the linear trend of the standardisedpower is not universal. The observed trends are very dependent on the solar altitude angle. Thus, theprocedure for evaluating standardised power recommended by the standard for cooker performancecomparison should be improved.
