- Chafing Gel fuel is a compound of
ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and organic pulp (cellulose). The composition of
the fuel by weight is ethanol (76 %), cellulose (5 %) and water
(19 %).
- The Gel Fuel Stove is a simple can
structure with a regulator that sits in a basic metal frame. Fuel is
poured into the can though the middle of the regulator and lit
with matches, quickly producing a developed blue flame of low carbon
content.
- Gel Fuel is approximately 75%
liquid ethanol mixed with water and thickening agents which give it a
high viscosity, roughly equal to the consistency of mayonnaise,
with a density of 0.71kg/L.
- This product us also ideal heat
sources for other uses Such as suits the family to cook meal, the
stir-fried dish, boils water, manufactures the hot pot, bakes,
simultaneously suits travels on official business person, the student,
the worker brings the cold food to heat up, to boil the instant noodle
and so on.
- Chafing gel fuel is the best
choice for the scientific research, the navigation, the fishery, the
building work site, the pedal mountain, the traveling, the
geology, the school, the ordinary test chamber chemical test, the
medical health, the army military training, the out-door worker and so
on .
- The gel fuel to be fully accepted
by low-income households there is need for the government and the
private sector to work out means of reducing the cost of the
fuel.
- Dimethyl ether (DME) and ethanol
or ethanol gel are new options that offer the potential for providing
very large quantities of clean cooking fuels for serving both
rural and urban markets -- in some instances at costs lower than LPG
prices.
- The current shortage of fuel in
the country, the rate at which traditional forests are being depleted
and the escalating costs of electricity, gel fuel is well placed
to penetrate as a low-income household fuel for cooking.
- Ethanol gel is prospectively
producible at lower cost than LPG provides the basis for one promising
approach for generating revenues to subsidize the provision of clean
fuels for the poorest households -- taking advantage of the fact that,
although LPG often is not affordable by the poorest household, it
is still affordable by more affluent households.
- The programme developed a low cost
gel fuel, produced by adding a thickening agent to ethanol, which
achieved a step increase in safety over a liquid fuel due to it’s
high viscosity.
- A redesign and better
manufacturing would solve most current problems but a moderate increase
to the fuel viscosity (gelling) is needed to achieve a better
safety level.
- The health damage cost would be
greater than the fuel cost even using the more conservative human
capital valuation of health damage costs in rural China in 1995
according to the above-cited World Bank study: $ 3.7 billion or $ 34 per
capita.
- The use of gel fuel for heating up
pressing irons when doing laundry was quite prevalent. On average 26 %
of the gel fuel burning time was used for ironing as compared to
17 % with paraffin. Gel fuel was significantly preferred for ironing
than paraffin.
- Report does not address the health
impacts of either stove but it was the authors’ opinion that the SBS
emitted considerably less smoke than the ICS, however users complained
of an ethanol smell, eye irritation and soot which were also observed
during laboratory testing.
