(prcenter.de) Munich - cook equipment conceived particularly for developing countries makes the preparation of meals of safe more pollution free and. The handy digester used for the first time conventional, regenerativ producible vegetable oil as fuel and discharges almost no pollutants contrary to wood and other fossil fuels.
The digester, which is affordable with a price of approximately 30 euro for the majority of the population, was tested on the Philippines and is successfully inserted now in other countries: In Tanzania first devices are in use. In China and India the preparations run on full speed. More than one third of entire mankind is dependent on open cook places.
Particularly in developing countries humans today often use wood in open fire places and expose themselves thereby large dangers. According to a study of the World Health Organization (WHO) die annually at least 1.6 million humans at the consequences. The users inhale large quantities of pollutants. Often small children tighten themselves heavy burns. Additionally substantial Rodungen of the forests has lasting consequences such as erosions or the propagation of the deserts. On the other hand ölhaltige plants are present such as Kokospalmen, sunflowers or Raps in the abundance. Their oil burns low-pollution.
The equipment Protos developed of the BSH Bosch and Siemens domestic appliances functions like a camping digester: If the user with a tire pump in a tank filled with vegetable oil produced a pressure of up to three bar, the oil flows by a line into an evaporator pipe in such a way specified at the burner. There it heats up owing to the warmth of the cook flame, evaporated and finally burns themselves. The BSH became with the development among other things in a Public private Partnership project of the Federal Ministry for economic co-operation and development (BMZ) and the German investment and development company (DEG) supports.
