DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HYBRID OVEN USING ELECTRICITY AND GAS
Abstract
Abstract
This study presents the design and fabrication of a hybrid oven that operates using both electricity and gas, aimed at addressing the limitations of single-energy ovens. Traditional gas ovens provide rapid heating but lack precise temperature control, while electric ovens offer consistent regulation but are costly and dependent on stable electricity supply. The hybrid oven integrates both systems to enhance flexibility, efficiency, and reliability. The design incorporates a mild steel structural frame, aluminum-lined cooking chamber, fiberglass insulation, stainless steel gas burners, and nichrome electric heating elements, all controlled by a digital thermostat and safety sensors. The fabrication process involved cutting, welding, assembly, and integration of gas and electric components, followed by performance testing for heat distribution, energy efficiency, and safety compliance. Results demonstrate that the hybrid oven ensures continuous operation during energy shortages, improves cooking versatility, and aligns with sustainability goals by allowing users to select the most efficient energy source. This innovation contributes to the advancement of smart, adaptable, and energy-efficient kitchen appliances suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.
