<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Dear Ron<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One small correction:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">“</span>All the protocols mentioned below already do boil water.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Not all the test below boil water. IS 13152, the Indian national test, does not boil water, it heats water. The SeTAR HTP efficiency test, now adopted as the ISO lab test, has no requirement to boil water and almost always
does not. Heating and pot-swapping gives far more accurate results than a boiling test. Remember, the Indian test was written after a careful review of the WBT, correcting many of its obvious flaws.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There is no need to boil water to estimate how long it would take to do so. Pure math. Requiring, as the WBT does, that a
<i>certain</i> mass be boiled, sometimes leads to ridiculous results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I do not know why you are insisting that the ISO is enthusiastic about the any particular thing. People sometimes hold their nose and abstain from voting. Sometimes they vote yes to end the pain of participation. Sometimes
they vote yes because the package is tolerable or misunderstood. Sometimes things are put in over the objections of 90% of the experts. Surely you are aware of that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The ISO cooking stove standard is voluntary. The ISO has no power to apply it to anyone or anything. Just as I pointed out before, there is no such thing as an “ISO certificate” for stoves (or anything else). That is
not their function. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Your comment about a tier and a ‘char making stove’: You know full well the rating is for the consumption of fuel “sourced outside the system” (if you would bother to read the definitions). A char making stove’s need
for fuel can be larger than an open fire – the usual baseline for CDM projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A typical value for the open fire fuel consumption is 1100 g to being 5 litres to a boil (10% efficiency, 3% evaporated). The Quad II is a TLUD char making micro-gasifier. It was tested at the CREEC Laboratory and the
results made public by Paul Anderson, the designer. It was loaded with 16% moisture fuel and consumed 1964 g of it, producing 185g of char, per load. The dry fuel input was 1650 g, about 50% more than an open fire. The WBT reports that it uses 626 g of fuel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lest there be any doubt, here is the relevant section of the report:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="454" height="117" style="width:4.725in;height:1.2166in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.jpg@01D39702.B75EABC0"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Note that it does not say ‘dry fuel equivalent’. The correct thermal efficiency is 19% but it reports it to be 42% (average of three tests). Obviously the low power efficiency is meaningless as is the specific fuel consumption
number. (Zhang 2014)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">What clearer evidence could there be that the WBT lies about the fuel needed to replicate the test sequence? If I have a stove that needs 50% more fuel to run than an open fire and I report that it uses 43% less,
<b><i>it is a lie</i></b>!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you want to report that it uses 1650 dry grams of fuel and produces 200 g of char. Be my guest. If the ISO test is applied in some manner so that stoves consuming
<i>more than the baseline</i> are claimed to need 40% less fuel, then the whole drafting exercise will be rendered worthless. If there is some sneaky way to claim that a stove needs 38% of the fuel it actually needs, then “the experts’, including you as a participant
in WG4, have failed in their duty to provide a useful Standard.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you don’t think you have a duty to prevent misrepresentation and fraud, think again. A stove that consumes more fuel than the baseline but delivers multiple benefits can be advertised exactly as that. To demand that
a Quad II using 1650 g of dry fuel be placed in a fuel consumption comparison metric (fuel efficiency) beside those that use 500 or 600 is untenable.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If your stove does something clever, say so. No cheating about how much fuel is needed to do it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is quite possible the WBT mathematics to produce claims for a pair of stoves that are together over 100% efficient. That violates certain thermodynamic laws. Violation it for one stove is not permissible either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Ron, why don’t you propose a new tier for char making stoves that reflects reality instead of trying to get high consumption stoves rated on the same scale? Pick a task, report the fuel consumption, report the char produced
as a % of fuel mass, and report the energy in the char as a % of fuel energy. Then you won’t be embarrassed year after year for claiming that a stove that uses 50% more fuel than the baseline uses 40% less.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Note to Paul Anderson: You asked for a specific example of a TLUD char maker that uses more fuel than the baseline. The example (you have the files already) is your Quad II tested in CREEC in Uganda, Aug 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
