Abstract

The performance analysis of the biomass briquette stove has been carried out. The research was conducted with three variations of stove wall materials (clay, steel, and aluminum) and with several variations of shell diameter of the burning chamber (140mm, 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, and 180mm). The fuel used is coconut shell briquettes. The results showed that the maximum fire temperature of clay, steel, and aluminum stoves was obtained, respectively 798℃, 617℃, 508℃ and thermal efficiency of 73.66% for clay followed by a steel stove of 38.98% and the lowest is obtained on an aluminum-based stove, which is only 11.49%. Furthermore, the diameter of the shell optimum is 180 mm for clay, 160 for steel, and 170 for aluminum.
