[Stoves] Survey on ranking of cookstove performance indicators

[Otto Formo]

Dear Pooja,
 
Just to give you a few inputs, find enclosed an Efficiency test of the gasifier Peko Pe, done by the Technical University of Copenhagen, Denmark in 1996.
 
Again, good Luck.

Pooja;   cc List, Otto, etal:
  1.  Not sure if there is a longer questionnaire.  Glad to look at it, if there is one.
  2.  I think the existing tests by Jetter and others won’t answer you question on relative importance.  In my mind two of the most important are annual costs and time spent in cooking.  Jim has indicated he might add something on time spent in cooking - but it is not there now.  Of course there is nothing on annual costs - but a few extra look-up tables might be able to add something on that parameter - if you can determine stove lifetime, the cost of different fuels, the possibility of selling char,  etc.  You will still be missing the issues of the stove looking good and being able to do multiple taks .
  3.  Some of the best survey work along these lines has been done by Dr.  Priya Karve of Pune.  I add her twice, but believe there is a better third address.

 I would like to advice you to contact Jim Jetter, EPA USA, to get hold of all the information needed from them.
 
Good Luck and Your survey is very much welcome, small or large.
 
Regards

Dear All
I am writing to you all for a small survey on ranking of cookstove performance indicators. I am Pooja Arora, a PhD student, at TERI University, New Delhi. My research area broadly covers cookstove testing  in terms of energy efficiency and emissions using different protocols. I want to conduct a small expert survey to get the opinion of experts all around world about relative importance of cookstove performance indicators and rank them accordingly. The indicators include: Specific energy consumption (SEC)CO emissions PM emissionsCooking time (CT) 
It would take few minutes for you, but would be of real help to me.
Thanking you all in advance.
Sincerely-- 
Pooja Arora
PhD Student
Department of Natural Resources, TERI University,10, Institutional Area, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110 070
