A stove is still the most widely used device for cooking in large parts of rural and semi-urban India. This domestic product has huge social signifance. However, it is also a reason why a majority of rural women have breathing-related disorders due to inefficient burning of kerosene. These stoves also lead to huge loss of fuel.
This is where Mr. S. C. Joe’s invention comes in. 56-year old Mr. S.C Joe has 32 years of experience as an Industrial electrician in the fields of air conditioning & refrigeration , solar equipment. He still pursues experiments to build devices using his experience in heat exchange. Mr. Joe has shown that there really is no age bar for innovation.
His latest innovation is called the Multi-Utility Fuel Efficient Stove. The stove has a burner, boiler and water regulator. It’s innovative features are:
Minimal Loss of energy
Cooking can be done for 14 hours in one litre of kerosene.
Smoke free and vapour free
Heat lost from the sides is absorbed by a built-in boiler from which steam and hot water can be trapped.
Possesses an inbuilt water jacket for Steam Generation.
Thus the stove makes optimum use of the fuel and the energy generated from it. The steam jacket can withstand high pressures and has been tested for a pressure of 200 kPa (double the atmospheric pressure).
