Biochar is used on agricultural lands as a soil amendment to improve the fertility of the soils. Currently the most common method of producing biochar is through biochar stoves. There are two basic stove operations in the production of biochar. The first type of stove produces biochar by direct combustion of biomass. Here biomass is burnt inside a chamber in an oxygen limited environment. The resulting residue is the bio-char. The second type involves burning the biomass in one chamber and housing the biomass to be charred in the annular portion of an outer chamber. Heat is transferred from the burning fuel on the inner chamber to the material to be charred in the outer chamber. While the process of biochar production in these stoves is known, the basic principles of the stove design are not readily available. The design methodology for both the types was developed from first principles. Prototypes of both types were constructed based on the design developed and tested. The paper lists the basic principles in the design of biochar stoves and the test results.展开更多

Analysis of variance with Fischer’s statistical test (F-test) and Newman-Keuls test were applied to establish the influence of the independent parameters on the studied responses. The results of this study are useful to application of charcoal cooks stoves.展开更多
针对当前生物质燃烧炉灶热效率低、火力强度达不到要求、供风不充足燃烧不完全、功能单一等问题,依据集中供餐炊事对清洁生物质颗粒燃料炉灶的需求,研制了一种以层燃为燃烧方式,集炒菜、蒸饭、烧水、供热等功能于一体的生物质颗粒直燃...针对当前生物质燃烧炉灶热效率低、火力强度达不到要求、供风不充足燃烧不完全、功能单一等问题,依据集中供餐炊事对清洁生物质颗粒燃料炉灶的需求,研制了一种以层燃为燃烧方式,集炒菜、蒸饭、烧水、供热等功能于一体的生物质颗粒直燃炉灶。运行性能试验结果表明:该炉灶的炊事热效率为42.9%,综合热效率达70.7%,炊事强度为14.1 k W,烟气排放指标低于国家标准,生物质颗粒燃烧较为充分,可为以生物质颗粒为燃料的集中供餐炊事炉灶的设计与应用提供科学参考。展开更多
