I posted this image way back in 2017 and it didn't gain much traction. I didn't have the time/space to build another stove to experiment on so it didn't go anywhere.  It looks suspiciously similar to the DSR3. Great minds think alike, it seems.  This one utilized an S-Portal to feed preheated tertiary air into the horizontal afterburner tube. I noticed that the DSR3 doesn't have any provision for tertiary air, though. I assume this has already been tried or am I incorrect? |

I was pondering recently whether designs will naturally converge in time.
Given the constant progress of commercial metal box type wood burning stoves in Europe, to meet ever-tightening legislation, most designs now have a well insulated firebox and well designed scondary air. Before long they will no doubt have an internal form recongnisable to us. All the quick starting and clean burning characteristics, just without the benefit of mass.
It will be interesting to see which design becomes the norm within 'traditional' metal stoves in the years to come... whichever core can be manufactured and maintained most easily I suppose.

It looks suspiciously similar to the DSR3. Great minds think alike, it seems. Apart from the circular afterburner tube, it also looks a lot like the DSR2. The exit from the afterburner is at the front top and there's no expansion room above the tube. As drawn, it wouldn't have worked unless all the other necessary details were added. But you are right, not only thinking alike but also more or less within the same time frame. This one utilized an S-Portal to feed preheated tertiary air into the horizontal afterburner tube. I noticed that the DSR3 doesn't have any provision for tertiary air, though. I assume this has already been tried or am I incorrect? Correct, I tried about every possible way to feed the port of the DSR3 with fresh air. The latest state of the design is without separate secondary air provision. All air is fed through the door frame, namely the top half of it. As always, even this wasn't just a lucky shot, the air configuration went through about 12 stages altogether. |
