Design and performance evaluation of a household level Rice hull gasifier stove
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-03) Gañola, Paul James C.; Oler, Marvin T.
This study was conducted to design and fabricate a rice hull gasifier stove. The fabrication was done at the Agricultural Engineering Department, College of Agricultural Sciences, Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, Bacnotan, La Union. The machine was constructed from February to March 2012, and testing was done immediately after its construction in the Agricultural Engineering Department. The stove has the following parts: a.) feeding/fuel hopper, b) reactor, c) blower/fan, d) grate, e) connector, f) gas duct, g) gas burner, h) pot support, i) support leg, and j.) char chamber. Results revealed that the fastest ignition of fuel could be done in just a 44.53 second using 3 to 5 pieces of burning paper. Quick generation of combustible gases was obtained at full loading of fuel with a mean of 67 seconds. Fuel is easily burnt and exhausted at full loading with a minimum mean of 18.85 minutes. A liter of water boiled at a mean of 12.03 minutes while 2 liters of water boiled at a mean of 22.09 minutes.
