Dear Paul
...snipped...
When it comes to mass of fuel consumed, the energy in it and so on, the lab is
agnostic. There are no holy
stoves and there are no holy fuels. The stove does what it does, emits what it
emits, and consumes
what it consumes. We just report it. Don't shoot the messenger.
Paul replies: Sorry, but the testing centers do NOT report BOTH the
FUEL consumption and the ENERGY consumption. A major point of the
Shields E450c method is to show the ENERGY consumption and the ENERGY
efficiency. It is the people who only talk about FUEL (and who avoid
acknowledging the difference concerning energy because of the energy in
the charcoal) who are the ones making the problem continue on and on and
on.
When the statement finally comes about testing procedures and reporting
for pyrolytic stoves that produce charcoal, I hope that the distinction
between energy and fuel is clearly made AND is reported in each report
of a stove tested.
Although gasifiers have existed for a long time, gasifier STOVES
(especially those that yield charcoal) have not. So some changes are
needed in the reporting of the results.
Paul
