Crispin and all,<br>
<br>
That is indeed wonderful news for eventually solving the health
problems world-wide concerning Household Air Pollution
(HAP)!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
Accomplishing that with NATURAL DRAFT is doubly exciting!!!<br>
<br>
The stove was capable of doing that cooking test. We await
information about its power level(s) and turn-down ratio, both of
which are important but truly secondary to the low emissions and
high efficiency capabilities.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to seeing the stove in Accra. A biomass stove that
is "Tier 4" in all categories by the end of 2015 will do wonders for
accomplishing the GACC goal of 100 million CLEAN cookstoves by 2020.
<br>
<br>
In Accra I and others will have good news (and functioning units)
relating to forced air TLUDs with configurations suitable for mass
production utilizing industrial capabilities that are already
existent in numerous developing countries. And using a variety of
biomass types and shapes. <br>
<br>
I will be in Ghana from 1 through 14 November, and looking for
contacts with all who are interested.<br>

<div><font face="Calibri, Slate Pro, sans-serif, sans-serif">The
second call for technology proposals for the CSI-Indonesia is
concluding with an announcement of test results to be made
this coming week. I can't mention names but I wanted the TLUD
community and stovers in general to be aware that one of the
submissions is more than interesting. </font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri, Slate Pro, sans-serif, sans-serif">It is
a TLUD charcoal maker that tested three times with a PM
emission for the Central Java combination cooking cycle (the
Technical Test) of just 2 mg/MJ delivered. This is about 1/4
of the PM from an LPG stove (as tested in India) and 1/10th of
the emissions of a Philips fan stove burning pellets. Being
somewhat suspicious because the test results could be
accidentally that low three times in a row, it was repeated
with great care to see nothing could possibly interfere with
the result and the 4th test was substantially the same as the
first three, except for a lower CO value <1 g/MJ delivered
into the pot. </font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri, Slate Pro, sans-serif, sans-serif">The
system efficiency is in the high 30's. The test method assumes
char produced cannot be reused (see the test method online).
The energy efficiency is much higher. </font></div>

small, inexpensive natural draft product shows that solid
fuels (Albasia pellets with 5.6% moisture in this case) can
burn cleaner than LPG and natural gas if the fuel is
predictable and standardised. </font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, Slate Pro, sans-serif, sans-serif">The
cost of standardising sustainable wood pellets is much less
than the cost of introducing LPG, electricity or other liquid
fuels. The result should of course be confirmed in other labs
because it is running on the limits of detection and
quantification wherever it is tested. If these results can be
confirmed it throws down the gauntlet to the producers of
other stoves that burn ethanol, DME, methanol and LPG to
improve their product performance to match both this wood
pellet burner and the very clean lignite burning stoves in
Mongolia. </font></div>

give them a round of applause in Ghana when the product is
identified. I will try to obtain one this week to bring to
Accra. </font></div>
