Maximum family members in India are using traditional stoves to prepare their three meals per day. Generally, raw wood, cow dung and rice husk are the main fuels for running traditional stoves. Due to improper design of conventional stoves, incomplete combustion of fuel occurs which creates air pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 4 million people die prematurely each year from diseases caused by indoor air pollution caused by inefficient eating practices. The survey also found that 60% to 70% of rural women are suffering from throat cancer and most of them are respiratory system problem. Accordingly, the AYUSH Department of the Government of India found that most of the deaths during the Corona period were due to failure of the respiratory system. To solve the problem of air pollution from traditional home stoves. We have developed a smokeless stove that uses wood as primary fuel and superheated steam as secondary fuel. Due to supply of hot steam, the built-in stove is used for household and community purposes. The main objective of this work is to establish complete combustion of fuel, provide a smoke free environment and thereby reduce health hazards in rural households, especially among women.
Key words: Stove / thermal efficiency / complete burning / smoke free environment / secondary fuel / health / sustainable
