EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

TaTEDO is developing, fabricating and promoting various improved bioenergy technologies such as stoves and briquetting production. They are available for sale to the public and there by disseminating renewable energy technologies that conserve the environment. Periodically as the need may be, these products are subjected to tests that forms a basis for improvement and technology documentation.

In the current work, stove test was carried out to Charcoal cooking stove of the type designated as SeTa Mkaa Stove that included various temperature measurements to perform evaporation test. From these tests it was possible to establish fire power and thermal efficiency of both cooking stove.

Tanzania  Traditional  Energy  Development  and  Environment  Organization  (TaTEDO) and Programme  for Biomass Energy Conservation (ProBEC) have  been  involved  in  promoting,  training,  capacity  building,  and  marketing  of  improved biomass stoves for several years.

The  two  organizations  contacted  University  of  Dar  es  Salaam  to  conduct  stove  performance  and  emission  tests  for  three  charcoal  stoves  and  four  fuelwood stoves. The tests were conducted at TaTEDO Center for  Sustainable  Energy  Development  at  Goba,  Dar  es  Salaam  from  September  22nd to October 7th 2009.

The stoves that were tested included charcoal stoves (SAHARA and TATEDO  jiko bora, and KUUTE stove), and fuelwood stoves (ENVOTEC, M&R, Okoa- 1,  and  Okoa-2).  The  Water  Boiling  Test  (WBT)  and  emission  results  are  summarized below for hot- and cold-starts.
