[Stoves] Kakuta stove / stoves for vegetable oils/ wick stoves

[Rodenhuis, E.J. (Erik Jan, Student TBK)]

Dear Tom, list,

 

Good point Tom!  For list: the original topic can be found at: HYPERLINK "http://bioenergylists.org/en/vegestove"http://bioenergylists.org/en/vegestove

 

I came across conflicting information on this topic. In an article by Erwin Protzen HYPERLINK "http://www.jatropha.org/lamps/protzen2.html"http://www.jatropha.org/lamps/protzen2.html, he states that the wicks on a wick stove choke up after two hours of burning.

>From another source HYPERLINK "http://www.saipetro.com/"http://www.saipetro.com/ I understood that using jatropha oil in kerosene burners is common practise in India. On this site you can see something like a Feuerhand lamp and also a stove, that I think is a Butterfly stove by Lea Hin Group from Singapore HYPERLINK "http://www.butterflyleahin.com/prod.asp?page=2&cate_id=3&cate_name=Kerosene+Stove&cate_level=1&parent_id=0"http://www.butterflyleahin.com/prod.asp?page=2&cate_id=3&cate_name=Kerosene+Stove&cate_level=1&parent_id=0 

The people of Lea Hin don’t know how their stove will function on vegetable oil. 

 

Difference characteristics namely the purity of the oil could explain this difference in outcomes… 

 

Transesterification to a bio diesel is the solution I guess…..

Maybe something for the bioconversion reference sites?

 

Comments are welcome.

Erik,

 

Is the problem with the Kakuta a problem with the stove or with the purity of the oil? I noticed the oil purification articles on Keith Addison’s JourneytoForever site.
