 Design and simulation of a novel top-lit downdraft gasifier cookstove and performance comparison with a conventional top-lit updraft cookstoveChootrakul Siripaiboon, Prysathyrd Sarabhorn, Chinnathan Areeprasert and Fabrizio Scala Energy, 2023, vol. 269, issue C Abstract: This study designed and fabricated a novel top-lit downdraft gasifier stove (TLDDGS), which was compared with a traditional top-lit updraft gasifier stove (TLUDGS) in terms of modeling and performance. The experimental and simulation results demonstrated that the novel TLDDGS exhibits a downward-flow configuration. The average fuel consumption measured in the experiments was 4.57 ± 0.933 g/min. The average flame temperature from the experiment was 608 ± 43 °C. The TLDDGS mean flame temperature remained stable throughout the experiment. The O2, H2, CO2, CO, CH4, and N2 in the diluted syngas from the experiment were 16.07, 0.33, 0.66, 2.56, 0.34, and 80.04% by volume, respectively. The total suspended particulates and CO in TLDDGS and TLUDGS were 15 and 28 mg/m3 and 335 and 69 ppm, respectively, which are within the limits specified by the local standard. Thus, the developed TLDDGS is a promising alternative for sophisticated cooking applications because of its superior performance in terms of flame stability.
