Abstract
This paper attempts to address the performance analysis of the updraft domestic gasifier stove (Belonio type)
which is designed for rice husk and intended to modify for the different feedstocks. The feedstock namely rice
husk, 50% biomass pellet and 50% rice husk, 50% rice husk and 50% wood chips were used for analysis. The
stove performance was evaluated in terms of fuel consumption rate, water boiling test, gasification efficiency,
flame temperature and temperature along the axis of the gasifier with response to regular time interval. The water
boiling test reveals the high efficiency of 27.93% for wood chips mix, followed by pellet mix as 27.89% and rice
husk as 26.97%. The fuel consumption rate was 1.71 kg/h for the case of pellet mix and wood chips mix whereas
for rice husk as 1.2 kg/h. The fabricated stove have some drops its performance for rice husk as 20.02%, pellet
and rice husk as 25.89% and wood chips and rice husk as 26.27%. So, two pot chamber is expected to exhibit
better performance with better combustion and use of energy.
