It is festooned with thermocouples and a particle diluter on the chimney. The two computer screens show the data being collected in real time including the mass burn chart, kW chart, kw calculated per minute, gases from the chimney and in the diluter, plus the temperatures. The panel on the left controls the air and vacuum flows that dry the gas samples and send dry, CO2-free air to the diluter.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Testing for the next round of stove exchange projects is under way at the moment with about 6 candidate stoves received so far. Only one is <i>not</i> a TLUD.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The minimum acceptable reduction in PM 2.5 (measured against the baseline stove pictured) is 80%. So far one stove has qualified on that bases though there are a lot of other check marks to accumulate to pass muster. One is that it can accommodate and cook adequately a 400 mm diameter wok.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Most of the improved stoves have a thermal efficiency between 78-85% as space heaters. The baseline stove rates at 50%, perhaps a little less.
