Abstract

The mean purpose of this paper was the construction and testing of a portable wood stove. The proposed stove has an average efficiency of 6,4 %, higher than the house stoves, that range from 2,9 to 4,6 %, in Irati/ PR. The fuel wood is Pinus taeda, with 9,6% moisture content. Folhelho stratified soil is used as thermal insulation of the combustion chamber. The thermal power of portable stove is 337,4 W; fuel consumption is 1.2 kg/h and the levels of gases are 0.3 Nm3 CO2/kg, 0.03Nm3 CO/kg and 2.510-5Nm3SO2/kg. The average concentration of CO (160 mg/m3) and maximum (200 mg/m3) as well as gas exposure (587h-mg/m3) for three hours of use of the stove into a hypothetical kitchen are all statistical similar to traditional stoves, indicating potential impact on user's health if used without flue or hood, additionally they are all about 82% higher than the thresholds recommended by WHO. Thus in addition to being low cost, the proposed stove has a very promising result in efficiency.
