Improved charcoal stoves are known to generally develop high thermal efficiencies, but most
generate appreciable level of gas emissions which has made them unsuitable for use within
residential buildings. In order to eliminate this constraint, a supplemental air supply power pack was
introduced to improve charcoal stove thermal and aesthetic performance. This paper described the
experimental setup, test procedures and results showing optimized performance. Comparison
between performance characteristics shows the air aspirated stove and other improved charcoal
stove showed more than 20% increased efficiency, power input of 2.26 kW (0.691Kw/hr) and
overall thermal efficiency of 36.74% for the improved stove, the stove is thermally efficient more
than the traditional stove.
