FUEL FOR THE STOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE differs from the fire wood stove by virtue of having a combustion chamber which is heavily insulated with a ceramic liner and funned by a 1.5hp Centrifugal fan. This is a stove that uses the old principle of fire place that blacksmith uses to forging metals. The stove has been design such that there is constant air flow by a motorized fan to the stove through air ducts and valves thus providing oxygen to the carbonized fuel ( carbonize palm kernel shell) that burns to provide smokeless flame for cooking. The fuel is also accessible and cheap compared to other cooking fuels. Due to high temperature that emits from the palm kernel during burning, the distance between the bottom part of the cooking pot and the top of the burner is well calculated to curtail the cooking pot from breaking down. The motor that powers the fun is 1.5hp that consume not much electricity. The motor is earth well to prevent electric shocks to the cooks. The stove is also very well insulated from the electric motor hence save to use. Below is the electricity consumption of the motor; 1Hp = 746 Watts 1.5 Hp x 746 Watts = 1119 Watts or 1.119 Kilowatts. For 1 hour continuous run: 1.119 KW-Hr

INTRODUCTION OF  MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE

BY

YOKWA COMPANY LTD

In 1990, Ghana had 8.2 million hectares of high forest most of which today only 1.2 million hectares remain. The deforestation is caused mainly by slashing and bush clearance for agriculture, logging, brushfires, and unsustainable harvesting of fuel wood, including charcoal production. This situation has been worsened by the ever increasing demand for charcoal with increasing oil prices. Unlike previously when most wood supply for charcoal production was from off-reserve sources, increasingly, the forest reserves are also being exploited for illegal charcoal production in Ghana.

At the current level deforestation of 2%, Ghana's level is among the highest in Africa, with current levels of wood-fuel consumption far exceeding forest growth. Wood-fuel cooking is therefore giving rise to green house gas emissions as well as significant health risk

We are therefore focused on the replacement of traditional fire wood stoves with very low efficiencies with an improved stove, - MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE. The MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE differs from the fire wood stove by virtue of having a combustion chamber which is heavily insulated with a ceramic liner and funned by a 1.5hp Centrifugal fan

Benefit

Over 5,000 hectares of forest area saved per year

Nearly 100,000 Tonnes of CO² reduced in a year

A study of Ghanaian households, where traditional cooking pots were replaced with wood stoves, showed significant reductions in noxious fumes and smoke, bringing carbon monoxide levels within World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Indoor Air Pollution is thought to account for.6 million premature deaths each year, worldwide. The replacement to a MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE meant children under five were nearly 25% less at risk of respiratory mortality.

Last but not least, you save money as the fuel (palm nut shell) is cheap and accessible.
