[Stoves] New kind of Sawdust stove

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Paul

It is definitely a TLUD but it is not a TLUD pyrolyser which is a subset of all things top lit and updraft.

Perhaps the TLUD builders have slipped into using the shorter form of the name.

Couldn't you have:
TLUD
TLUD gasifier
TLUD pyrolyser (with various levels of carbon gasification)‎?

I have not tested it yet with a meter to see how well it burns but it definitely works.

It is replacing a huge square, almost cubic steel TLUD loaded with coal which seemed to have no secondary air and no flame space. They said it worked for a long time on a load of fuel but was 'very smoky'. It didn't even look like a stove. I thought it was a storage bin.

Regards
Crispin



Crispin, Andrew, and all,

I am glad that it works, and I am not totally sure what type of combustion method it uses, except that it does not fit the description of a TLUD stove, which is characterized by a migrating pyrolytic front (MPF).  And a TLUD does not have "primary air supplied from above."

Summary: It is a TLUD with primary and secondary air supplied from above.  The stove is used to heat the office of the welding shop.

Unless I have misread your description I would say this is a Top Lit Cross Draught.

It's similar to a device I made to burn stumps out of the ground using a ford tractor wheel but I used an old vacuum cleaner to Blast the air in.
