You know me. <br>
I have been promoting cooking solutions in West Bengal. <br>
Is there a way we could discuss our learning in promoting your TLUD .<br>
I have sunk all my savings in promoting clean cooking solutions and wish I had a lead to talk about your product. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Stovers,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> At my home (after TLUD Summit), Suddha and I tested the difference of a central buff body (block the middle) versus a concentrator hole (block the edges when placed on the FABstove TLUD-FA when the power was turned down.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that the concentrator is far far far superior than trying to block the center.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, an easy turn-down with CLEAN combustion is accomplished by placing a concentrator over the top of the 100 mm diameter fuel chamber. The hole size is proportional to the turn down: fewer gases need smaller hole. 50 mm hole
seemed quite reasonable. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How to place this concentrator onto a functioning FABstove is a question. Options are
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. to slide it in after turning down the air supply, or <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. turn down air, pull out canister, place on a top, reinsert a canister. Or<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. fabricate a closure like on cameras (a diaphragm) – tricky and probably not functional because of metal weakness and high heat.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Other solutions.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NOTE: This might only be used with certain cooking, such as wanting a slow simmer for a long time. Using this could lengthen the time of operation of the stove to double or more.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is also good to know for when there is a larger fuel chamber.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This has NOT been tested / compared regarding ND TLUDs. There are at least two currently important designs.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. The Champion TLUD-ND has a concentrator hole. A very simple solution. Not much further work done on it.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The Wonderwerk TLUD-ND by Kirk Harris has the combustion toward the edges of the riser by having centrally supported blocking, with several great ways to enhance mixing.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. What is not tried is to alternate from hole to edge or edge to hole (and back again, plus fixed-blades etc to get the mixing better. Might not work??? So the tests are to send to edges (block center) after the concentrator hole,
OR to bring together after having been mixed at the edges.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This might be a good boost for Norm’s larger TLUDs with ND.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fair game for anyone to try. Please tell us your experiences here on the Stoves Listserv.<u></u><u></u></p>
