[Stoves] Making testing equipment for CO and O2

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Dean

I feel that the CO value is not much use without the O2 because without it
we don't know what the dilution is. Can that easily be added? If we get PM
2.5 + CO + O2 that constitutes the basis of a full set: combustion
efficiency, thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption + emission
factors.

???
Thanks
Crispin

Dear Paul,

Looking at CO is great but the more important health hazard is particulate
matter (PM). Nordica, Karl, and Damon, at the Aprovecho lab, are now
manufacturing a $2,000 device called the IAP meter that measures both CO and
PM. I hope that we can create a standardized Test Kitchen using the IAP
meter that helps stove designers to refine cooking stove prototypes using
both the Water Boiling Test (stove designer boils water, sees wood use,
emissions, etc) and the Controlled Cooking Test (local cooks make food, sees
wood use, emissions, etc).  [snip]
