Producer gas stove: Design, fabrication, and evaluation of thermal performance

Development and performance analysis of top lit updraft: natural draft gasifier stoves with various feed stocks

“…An updraft forced gasifier built and manufactured to produce gas at an equivalent ratio of 0.5 using a mixed feedstock of rice husk-sawdust had a thermal efficiency of 17.6 % while using a bluff body B, upper burner type (Susastriawan et al, 2021). When compared to traditional stoves, in a paper by (Okino et al, 2021), has obtained a thermal efficiency of 35.5 AE 2.5% using Senna spectabilis as a feed stock, followed by Eucalyptus grandis 25.7 AE 1.7%, and finally Pinus caribaea 19.0 AE 1.2%.…”

Thermal performance of gasifier cooking stoves: A systematic literature review

“…The fundamental idea of gasification is that it is a thermochemical process that uses the reactions of drying, pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction to turn solid fuel into a combustible gas (producer gas) (Basu, 2010). In a gasifier cook stove, biomass is gasified in the reactor to generate syngas, thereafter, syngas is burned in the burner in order to obtain producer gas flame (Susastriawan et al, 2021). On the contrary, biomass is directly combusted with the presence of excess air and produced heat and flue gas.…”

“…Due to the eclectic amount of highly appealing characteristics of gasifier cookstoves, including high efficiency, smokefree safe combustion, uniform and steady flame, simplicity of controlling the flame, and operational capability for long periods (Raman et al, 2014), the advancement of gasifier cooking stoves became significant. Therefore, to date, several research studies had been performed on the design and development of gasifier cooking stoves with the goal of increasing efficiency and dwindling emission such as producer gas stove with bluff-body shape in burner (Susastriawan et al, 2021), producer gas stove (Panwar et al, 2011;Punnarapong et al, 2017), Chinese gasifier stove (Carter et al, 2014), naturaldraft gasifier cookstoves (Hailu, 2022;Tryner et al, 2014), fixed bed advanced micro-gasifier cook stove (Sakthivadivel & Iniyan, 2017), inverted downdraft gasifier (Narnaware & Pareek, 2016;Ojolo et al, 2012;Osei et al, 2020), biomass gasifier cookstove (Panwar & Rathore, 2015), top-lit updraft gasifier cookstove (Scharler et al, 2021), advance microgasifier stove (Sakthivadivel et al, 2019;Wamalwa et al, 2017), rice husk gas stove (Ndindeng et al, 2019), natural and force draft gasifiers stove (Getahun et al, 2018), and natural cross draft (Nwakaire & Ugwuishiwu, 2015). However, to the authors' best knowledge, no proper systematic reviews have already been conducted on the overall thermal performance of gasifier cook stoves, with an emphasis on types of gasifier stoves, cooking fuels, location of investigation, and materials to fabricate stoves.…”

Thermal behavior of biomass under thermochemical treatment at different air fluxes in an updraft reactor

“…They found that the producer gas energy content was maximized at the superficial velocity of 9 cm/s. Susastriawan et al (2021) optimized the bluff body configuration and studied the impact of feedstock type in an updraft gasification stove.…”
