Nowadays, the use of wood for cooking and heating has become very popular, especially in
rural and suburban areas. Fireplaces and solid fuel stoves with heat accumulation provide …

A significant part of the world's population (about 40%) cooks their meals and provides
heating for their homes using wood-burning heating devices. Due to the relatively low cost of …

Replacing traditional open fire stoves, characterized by low efficiency, with improved ones is
an important challenge for developing countries. Adding TE (thermoelectric) generators can …

The use of biomass cook stoves is widespread in the rural communities of developing
countries. It is important to improve the efficiency of these stoves in order to reduce the …

The objective of the presented work is to test the possibility of using thermoelectric power to
convert flue gas waste heat from a small-scale domestic pellet boiler, and to assess the …

Waste heat generation has a widespread presence into daily applications, however, due to
the low-temperature grade which presents, its exploitation with the most common …

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are based on Seebeck effect and produce electricity from
a heat flow. They require low maintenance and provide quiet operation. However, they have …

Almost three billion people rely on biomass stoves for their basic domestic needs such as
cooking, heating and lighting, leading to indoor air pollution (IAP) and health risks …

Traditional fire stoves are characterized by low efficiency. In this experimental study, the
combustion chamber of the stove is augmented by two devices. An electric fan can increase …

A domestic thermoelectric cogeneration system (DTCS) is a noiseless and maintenance-free
method of on-site micro-cogeneration, with no moving parts. This paper contributes to the …
