Title Development of Kerosene wick stove having 64% efficiency.
Sponsored Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun
Objective Improvement thermal efficiency of Kerosene wick stoves from 53% to 64%+.
Project cost Rs. 70,000/-
Completion date March 1992
Commercialization

The wick stoves along with those developed by IOC (R&D) Center Faridabad having 60%+ thermal efficiency have been sold to extent of over 90 Lacs as on March 1997.

Benefits 20-25 % saving of Kerosene with above wick stoves.
Salient features

Various components of the old marketed Kerosene wick stoves had been optimized by carrying out trials on each component and thus standard specifications of the stoves have been formulated.

 
 
Title Development of Kerosene (gas) pressure stove having thermal efficiency of 64 %+.
Sponsored on Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun
Objective

Saving in Kerosene by enhancing thermal efficiency of marketed stoves from 58 % to 64 %.

Project cost Rs. 1.2 Lacs
Completion date March 1995
Commercialization Yet to be started
Benefits 15 % saving of Kerosene
Salient features Various components of the Kerosene (gas) stove were studied and optimized. Thereafter standard specification of the stove had been developed.
 
 
Title Development of offset burner type kerosene pressure stove having 65 %+ thermal efficiency.
Sponsored On Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun
Objective Improvement In Thermal Efficiency Of Kerosene Pressure Stove Offset Burner Type Form 55 % As Per Bis Spec To 65 %+.
Project Cost Rs . 4.00 Lacs
Completion Date March’98
Commercialization

Technology demonstrated to over hundred stove manufacturers during annual general body meeting from Bombay light association for adoption.

Benefits Saving of about 20 % Kerosene from offset burner type pressure stove.
Salient Features

As per BIS specifications thermal efficiency of Kerosene pressure offset burner type are as under:

I. Roarer Type 55 %
Ii. Silencer Type 58 %

The various components of the marketed pressure stove were optimized to achieve thermal efficiency of 65 %+.

 
 
Title Development of domestic lpg stove having thermal efficiency of 70 %+.
Sponsored on Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun
Objective

About 10 % improvement in thermal efficiency of isi marked stove having 64 % thermal efficiency.

Project cost Rs. 60,000/-
Completion date March 1993
Commercialization

The above LPG stove alongwith similar LPG stove developed by IOC (R&D) Faridabad and having 68+ % thermal efficiency have already been commercialized as on March 1997 over 5 Lac such stoves had been sold.

Benefits

Annual saving of nearly 1 Lac MT of LPG worth Rs. 100 Crores by supplying all new customers with above stoves (40 Lacs) during 1997/98 and replacement of 10 % of old stoves with new stoves.

Salient features

All components of domestic lpg stoves were studied and optimized thereafter standard specifications of domestic lpg stove had been formulated. The technology was transferred to nearly 90 lpg stove manufacturers.

 
 
Title Development Of Fuel Efficient LPG Commercial (Canteen) Burner.
Sponsored On IIP, Dehradun
Objective

To develop a fuel efficient commercial (canteen) burner with 64 thermal efficiency (hot start), thereby leading to LPG saving.

Project Cost Rs.1.7 Lacs
Duration 12 Months
Commercialization Under BIS Certification and Commercialization.
Benefits Saving Of LPG About 20 %
Salient Features

Thermal efficiency of LPG canteen burner as per BIS standard No. Is: 5117-1993 is only 50% (Hot Start). IIP, studied the various parameters of existing LPG canteen burners which affect their thermal efficiency and optimised the design of various components as given below:

  • Use of convergent-divergent mixing tube.
  • Optimized primary air openings.
  • Adjust distance between Jet & Throat of convergent-divergent mixing tube.
  • Provides spill tray.
  • Optimised clearance between bottom of the pan to the top of burner head.
  • Optimized no. & diameter perforations on the burner top and their distribution.
  • G. with the above improvements the thermal efficiency of LPG canteen burner H. was improved to 64 %+-1 %.

With the above improvements the thermal efficiency of LPG Canteen Burner was improved to 64 % + 1 %.
