  3. Cook Stove Project Background • WHO estimates more than 3 billion people rely on biomass fuels • NGO partnership with Haiti Outreach-Pwoje Espwa • Funded by EPA P3 Energy Research Grant • Develop a biomass stove with focus on improved combustion efficiency Image ref: Than, Ker. "Haiti Earthquake, Deforestation Heighten Landslide Risk." National Geographic Daily News. N.p., Jan.-Feb. 2010.

  4. Cook Stove Project Overview • Mission • Develop a stove design that has been optimized in such a way that it will see a significant reduction in fuel consumption and reduction in emissions, in comparison with current stoves • Considerable application of engineering principles in fluid mechanics and heat transfer

  10. Risk Assessment

  11. Concept Generation

  12. Vertical Combustion Chamber • Greatly reduces emissions • May burn equally as well as TLUD provided charcoal is only fuel used

  13. Rocket Stove • Insulated chimney creates an up-draft to burn hotter and cleaner • Flame/heat control through addition/removal of fuel

  14. Top-Lit Up-Draft Stove • 2 stage combustion • Gasification-to-Combustion • Fan greatly improves combustion

  15. Side-Mounted Fan TLUD • Uses fan to push air in from the side • Power-supply and fan could be contained within a housing • Requires insulating material

  16. TLUD Rocket Combustor • Uses chimney effect to burn up bad emissions • No fan is needed

  17. Concept Selection

  18. TLUD Rocket Combustor • Uses chimney effect to burn up bad emissions • No fan is needed

  19. Top-Lit Up-Draft Stove • 2 stage combustion • Gasification-to-Combustion • Fan greatly improves combustion

  20. Plan for Moving Forward
