[Stoves] Standards for stoves - discussion Re: The Clean Stove Initiative (CSI) Forum

Crispin:

 

            If a TLUD is being tested, will char amount be measured
automatically?

 

Ron

 

Yes it is recorded in the analysis but is not reported unless the customer
wants to know.

 

A typical output from a very good TLUD looks like this:

 



 

As you can see the char mass is noted. The heat transfer efficiency is not
noted, largely because it has been abused in the past by those pretending it
represents the fuel consumption and as a result is widely misunderstood by
people not in the product development field. 

 

The heat transfer efficiency is just over 47% in the example above. 

 

The burn cycle is the same one noted in the CSI-Indonesia document:

 



 

This is the mass burned (brown), the smoothed power (purple) and the
cumulative power throughout the test (black) which is 2.06 kW.

Crispin
