[Stoves] Mwoto Quad TLUD test results

[Paul Anderson]

Stovers,

I am making available to everyone the WBT test results of the Quad TLUD 
gasifier stoves that are being produced in Uganda by a new company 
called Awamu Biomass Energy Ltd (ABE).    Awamu means "together" in the 
Lugandan language and is a continuation of the "Juntos" (together in 
Portuguese and Spanish) name I have used for many years.

Because the emissions equipment was not working at that time, CO and PM 
readings are unfortunately not yet available (but will be in the not too 
distant future, we hope.).

The report is now posted to www.drtlud.com <http://www.drtlud.com> as an 
announcement.
This is the direct link to the report:

And this is the link to the announcement post:

This same report will also be available at the Stoves website.

Of special note are some comments/data about the use of three sizes of 
pieces of the same fuel:   branch segments of up to 5 cm (2 inch 
diameter);  segments split thinner;   and chopped pieces (not segments 
that are as tall as the fuel chamber).

I believe that this report has the first released results of any of the 
TLUD stoves in Uganda produced under the trademark "Mwoto" that is held 
by CREEC (developed under a grant from the World Bank for the BEIA Project.)

Awamu encourages others to post their test results or provide 
comparative data for other stoves.
