Dear T, First, why you need a heating stove at your latitude? Heat resistant fans are expensive, can you set the fan back from the combustion chamber with a short duct so the fan does not heat up? For fiberglass rope I use Auburn Manufacturing. http://www.auburn-mfg.com/high_temperature_materials.html They have all types of heat resistant materials like fiberglass and ceramic, rope, and cloth. If you like I will call them Monday for a price and to see if they ship internationally. If you just need a short amount to prototype Ace hardware USA http://www.acehardware.com/home/index.jsp may ship internationally, or maybe there is a hardware store closer that will ship to you. You will have to buy at least a 1 box from Auburn Mfg. which will be about 250 feet depending on the diameter of the rope. Rope comes in low density and high density. Low density will probably work best if you are stuffing it in a gap. To increase the thickness in the gap you can just stuff more low density rope in. If there is any advice I can give about the size please ask. Stay away from asbestos fiberglass should be high temp enough.

Good day Sir/ Madam, My name is T. Shatika and I am currently working on the project of making a bio-char stove that will be used for both heating and making bio-char. The stove is required to have a small (heat and fire resistant fan) for supplying air (10kg/s) into the combustion chamber in order to achieve a complete combustion. The problem I have is, here in Namibia they do not seem to supply such fans. The other issue is I am as well failing to get the fiberglass fire ropes or even asbestos fire ropes to seal my stove with. May you advice on the types of heat and fire resistant fans and the seals that I can use for my stove. Kind regards, T. Shatika ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/
