Stovers,<br>
<br>
One way to have less heat entering the pot is to move the pot off to
the side so that only part of the heat has any contact with the
pot. The results of this are:<br>
<br>
1. The SAME amount of energy / fuel is released in the combustion
chamber, AND<br>
<br>
2. LESS water is boiled away from the simmering pot.<br>
<br>
As I understand the WBT procedures, doing this would result in more
favorable efficiency numbers than if the pot was boiling vigorously
on the full impact of the fire, and losing much water.<br>
<br>
Can someone please confirm this for me. And perhaps give an
example where the ONLY VARIABLE THAT CHANGES IS THAT THE POT BOILS
OFF SIGNIFICANTLY LESS WATER if the pot is placed to the side. I
am thinking of the difference in the amount of water in the pot
being even 2 or 3 liters less between the two examples.<br>
<br>
Yes, these types of stoves could exist, as in an example of a TLUD
without any turn down of primary air and with a pot support that
allows the pot to be shifted to the side (such as on 2 pieces of
rebar).<br>
<br>
When we have clarification about this, we can then discuss if moving
the pot should be a factor in stove testing. And also if the
amount of remaining water after simmer should be a factor. <br>
