Dear Friends

 

Further to the paper on there being very little difference in the CO emissions 
of those stoves with a change in power, we have tested some stoves with a very 
large variation in CO based on both pot size and power. Particularly variable 
are kerosene and ethanol gel stoves. With ethanol, most stoves are extremely 
simple and have pretty lousy combustion at high power. In those cases changing 
the pot can vary the CO emission per MJ by a factor of 3 or more.  Turning an 
ethanol stove from high to low might have a difference of 6:1 in the CO 
emission.

 

It would be interesting to hear from other testers what results are obtained 
when conducting efficiency and emissions tests across a variety of conditions 
(which is the core of a heterogeneous test).

 

Regards

Crispin
