Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stove fired with charcoal, wood or similar fuel, said stove being made from metal, particularly from stainless-steel sheet metal, the casing of said stove being essentially cylindrical and said stove having an essentially horizontal grate inside said cylindrical casing, in the lower portion of the stove, said casing comprising an inner shell and an outer shell, said shells having an air gap provided therein- between .
- a stove In addition to exhibiting a maximally good efficiency in cooking and possibly also in heating premises, a stove must also have a simple structure, and thereby, a con- struction easy to assembly and service inasmuch the availability of functional tools and other accessories or services is scant in the primitive circumstances of developing countries. Moreover, a stove should have a durable construction combined with small size, multifunc- tionality and ease of use.
- US Pat. No. 4,915,091 discloses a stove with a casing comprising an inner shell and an outer shell spaced apart from each other.
- this system has a continuous inner shell, whereby the lack of secondary combustion air results in a combustion efficiency far from satisfactory.
- this stove construction is assembled from separate parts requiring the use of tools and separate fastening means. Hence, the stove must be factory- assembled.
- the stove according to the invention is characterized in that at least a portion of the stove inner shell is provided with holes opening into the air gap of the intershell space and said holes serving for the introduction of secondary combustion air into the fuel chamber and that the air gap has a closed upper end. Then, the preheated combustion air is forced to enter the fuel chamber via said holes under a positive head, whereby the combustion process in the fuel chamber becomes very efficient.
- the positive head in the intershell space is achieved by virtue of the thermal expansion of the rising air and the blocked upright passageway thereof at the closed upper end of the annular preheating space.
- a preferred embodiment of the stove according to the invention is characterized in that the holes of the inner shell are made at least to the upper portion of the stove inner shell. Then, the secondary air flow is introduced under the cooking utensil thus optimally supporting the combustion process.
- Another preferred embodiment of the stove according to the invention is characterized in that the grate is per- forated with holes and above or under said grate, in parallel therewith, is placed a second grate plate serving as a damper which is also perforated and adapted to rotate about the vertical axis of the stove thus permitting the control of the open area of the perforated holes, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the primary combustion air.
- a still another preferred embodiment of the grate according to the invention is characterized in that the stove is assembled from a template which is prepunched or precut into an essentially solid sheet of metal by manual folding without the need for using any tools.
- This technique of assembly by manual folding is a cost-efficient and flexible method of making a stove. As compared to welding, folding offers an additional benefit of giving the stove a longer life. Moreover, such a manually folded stove is easy to service.
- the stove according to the invention functions so that the combustion air first passes to the underside of the stove, is preheated there and rises therefrom as the primary combustion air via the holes of the grate into the fuel chamber undergoing a continuous heating during its passage.
- combustion air passes over a large contact surface with the grate as there are provided two grates separated by an empty space.
- the secondary air is sucked in the above-described manner first into the intershell heating space and therefrom via the holes of the inner shell into the fuel chamber .
- the air heated in the intershell space receives thermal energy from the heat absorbed in the shell walls thus utilizing such a portion of the fuel heat content that is already wasted as regards to the cooking process itself.
- the air passing via the intershell heating space recovers a por- tion of the heat absorbed in the shell walls, it can thus return the combustion energy once already lost back to the fuel chamber.
- the stove according to the invention also offers a number of other benefits making it vastly superior over conventional stoves.
- a particular advantageous property is the possibility of delivering the stove to its final destination of use in the form of a plate having thereon prepunched or precut a template from which the stove can be assembled by manual folding. Thence, it is possible to provide, e.g., a refugee camp with bundled stacks of such prepunched/precut blank sheets from which the people living in the camps can themselves prepare the stoves by manual folding.
- the sheet metal blanks of the stove can be made with automated machines in an extremely short time in large series, stored in sheet format and even transported in sheet format, whereby also the transport costs per stove will become more advantageous than for ready-assembled stoves .
- Figure 1 shows a sheet having the template of a stove according to the invention prepunched or precut thereon;
- Figure 2 shows a stove assembled by manual folding from a sheet illustrated in the first drawing
- Figure 3 shows the stove of Fig. 2 in a bottom view.
- the major elements of the stove comprise an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, as well as a lower grate 3 and an upper grate 4. Both grates are made detachable from the sheet for a later insertion in place into the stove. Also detachable are the legs 5 of the stove that are later inserted in compatible slots 6 made to the outer shell of the stove.
- the top edge of the outer shell is provided with a number of different fastening means 7, 8, 9 for fixing the inner and the outer shell to each other by bending said means in an essentially inwardly radial manner.
- fastening means 7, 9 are foldable into supports for utensils used in cooking food on the stove.
- These fastening/support means 7, 8, 9 also close the upper end of the annular intershell space formed between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2.
- the inner shell 2 of the stove is provided a plurality of holes 10 which are also shown in Fig. 2. The holes serve for introducing the jets of the secondary combustion air into the fuel chamber in the manner described above .
- Fig. 3 the stove is illustrated in a bottom view. Therein is visible the intershell space 11 which is formed between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 so that the air gap is open at its lower end but closed at its upper end as described above.
- Fig. 3 also illustrates the lower, fixed grate 3 which is perforated with holes 12. Over the fixed grate 3, in a parallel plane therewith, is mounted an upper grate 4 which is made rotatable in its horizontal plane by means of a lever 4 adapted thereto (refer to Figs. 2 and 3) . Also the upper grate is provided with holes 13 adapted to coincide with the holes 12 of the lower, fixed grate when the upper grate is rotated into one of its extreme positions. When the upper grate is rotated away from this extreme position, the open area of the hole passageways is diminished until the holes are fully closed in the other extreme position. Thus, a provision is offered for controlling the flow rate of the primary combustion air.
- the assembly of the stove is commenced by first detaching the grates 3 and 4, as well as the legs 5, from the sheet blank.
- the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 are folded and interlocked into the final shape of essentially coaxially cylindrical configuration shown in Fig. 2 so that the inner shell 2 remains in the interior of the outer shell 1 and thereinbetween is formed an essentially cylindrically annular air gap 11 (refer to Fig. 3) .
- the fastening means 7, 8 and 9 are folded into place, whereby the upper portion of the stove receives its final shape in which supports are provided for a cooking utensil, the upper end of the intershell space is closed and the exhaust openings are left for flue gas.
- the legs 5 and the grates 3 and 4 of the stove are inserted in place.
- holes 15 of a relatively large diameter serving to improve the passage of the combustion air into the space between the shells 1, 2.
- the air is first passed via the air intake opening 16 of the stove front wall to the underside of the grate, where the air is heated under the glowing grate and therefrom passed via the holes 15 of the inner shell into the fuel chamber.
- the draft in the stove is induced by virtue of the negative head of the stove upper portion caused by the upward flow of the flue gas.
- the steplessly adjustable dual-plane grate permits control of primary air introduction into the fuel chamber and the inner shell with holes perforated on the upper portion of the inner shell wall allows passage of preheated secondary air into the combustion space.
- An empty space is provided below the grates for ash collection, fire ignition and air intake .
