Hybrid Cooking Stove

A Kerosene - Plant oil - Steam - Pressure stove

About the stove:

• We at Servals have developed the hybrid stove in an attempt to conserve fossil fuel and use renewable energy.
  


• The focus is on rural energy independence and hence the use of straight vegetable oil alone is considered.


• Please note, that bio-diesel which is a refined product is not to be used and the stove is not designed to use bio-diesel.

• It is a carbon neutral initiative (to the extent of plant oil usage)
  

What is the Hybrid Stove:

• The stove uses up to 30 % plant oil and balance (around 70 %) kerosene.
• In the event plant oil is costly or not available, the stove can function as a high efficiency kerosene stove using only kerosene.

Please note..

• Viscosity of the plant oil used is critical for the proportioning of the capillaries.


• Presently the design is for Pongamia straight vegetable oil, which is comparatively dense oil.

How it works:

Let me try to give you a quick brief on the how the stove works. Please feel free to contact me for more details.

• Pump a little kerosene into the spirit cup and light it for preheating the burner.


• Once preheated, apply pressure in the kerosene tank to reach the desired flame.


• Once the burner top has reached red hot colour, plant oil and water can be pumped.


• While switching off the stove, first the plant oil and water should be switched off and later kerosene can be switched off.


• Pressure release valves are provided on all the three filler caps (i.e. kerosene, plant oil and water filler caps).

Maintenance:

Here are some quick maintenance information:

• We have provided a filter in the kit to strain the water and plant oil before pouring into the respective tanks. This ensures that the capillaries do not get clogged / blocked anywhere.
  
• We have also made drain provisions for both water and plant oil to clean any sludge/deposits at the bottom.
  
• Any blockage of the kerosene vapour nozzle can be cleared using the needle pricker provided in the kit.

I will be more than happy to share more details with you if you are interested. Feel free to write to us.

We had recently received a test report from Kenya about our Jatropha hybrid stoves. Read more about it here..
