| Abstract | An extensive review of literature on improved cookstove has been carried out. Based
on the review, an improved ricehusk cookstove, the Philippines ricehusk cookstove was
selected for experimental study. With the overall efficiency about 20 %, Philippines ricehusk
cookstove can be ignited easily and quickly without noticeable smoke. It is more suitable for a
single batch and short period of operation.
Based on the experience with this stove a scaled-up institutional stove was designed
and tested. Stove Model I has similarities with the Philippines ricehusk cookstove in terms of
ease and quick starting. Overall efficiency of Stove Model I was 13 %.
A second institutional stove was also design based on experience of initial test with the
ricehusk stove and literature review. Stove Model II has overall efficiency about 12 % but very
clean and continuous combustion. This stove was suitable for low temperature cooking process
in very long period of operation. |
