Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a device that takes advantage of the energy released by biomass when burning in a main combustion chamber (3), serving to cook and refrigerate food at the same time. The device consists of a biomass stove (4) to which an absorption refrigeration equipment (1) is coupled. Burning biomass releases heat and hot gases that work to cook food in a main skillet (6) and in two secondary burners (7), in a first stage. Subsequently the hot exhaust gases transfer their heat to the absorption refrigeration system (1) through a heat exchanger (15) located inside the chimney. The heat used by the exchanger will trigger the cooling-by-absorption system through the thermosyphon effect. The absorption refrigeration system has an isolated cooling chamber (21) which can be accessed through a door (22). All the integrated equipment is supported on a single structural base (5). The gases that have transferred some of their heat to the absorption refrigeration system co ntinue their upward course until those gases are emitted into the atmosphere at the top of the chimney (12).
