Development and Performance Assessment of a Pressurized Cook Stove Using a Blend of Pongamia Oil and Kerosene
Y. Nagaraju, Dr. Lasya Gopal
Abstract :
Pongamia oil can be used as an alternative fuel in cook stoves. However, commercially available wick stoves and pressurised stoves are not compatible to use 100 % pongamia oil. The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) designed, developed and pilot tested a pressurised stove which uses a blend of pongamia oil and kerosene. The paper provides details of the pilot trials and performance of the pongamia oil stove. Modification of the stove design, testing of blends, and field tests prove that a blend of pongamia oil and kerosene in the ratio of 30:70 on a volumetric basis is a viable model for domestic use.
