Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In Bangladesh about 6 (six) lakh tons of gur are yearly produced and consumed. For making gur various types of chula and pan are used at different locations of the country by the gur makers. But they are not efficient and economical in term of fuel used and goor produced. Gur produced by these chula and pan is cleaned by chemicals which is health hazard. Besides, these chula produce too much smoke which creates environmental pollution. Hence, a program was undertaken to design and develop of environment friendly and fuel saving chula as well as pan for producing naturally cleaned gur.

Keywords: Chula, Pan, Goor

Location: BSRI H/Q, Ishurdi, Pabna

Start Date: 01-11-2010

End Date: 30-03-12

Program Area: Farm Mechanization

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

(a) To design and develop a simple, low cost, economic chula and pan; (b) To save the fuel and fuel cost.

Methodology:

Methodology (work programme) includes two successive steps, which are: (A) The performance efficiency of existing chula and pan will be studied first (B) Performance of the fabricated chula and pan will be studied and necessary modification or improvement will be done accordingly. The following data will be collected: (i)Pan size and chula size; (ii) The drawbacks of the existing system will be identified (iii)Probable solution will be determined (iv)Total amount of juice used for making gur, kg /litre (v) Total time required to prepare gur (vi) Total amount of gur produced, kg (vii)Total fuel used (kg) and moisture content of the fuel; (viii)Smoke status of the exhaust gas (through observation); (ix) Colour of the goor; (x) Taste of the goor; (xi) Cleanliness/ purity of goor; (xii)Quality of goor; (xiii) Fuel required for preparing one kg of goor on an average will be determined in Kg/Kg of gur (xiv) Heat utilisation efficiency (HUE) of the chula by boiling water for a certain period (one hour) will be determined using formula

Budget: 50000/-

Total Budget (Tk.) : 50000/-

Achievement/Findings:

The experiment was on same length & breadth and varying height of chula and was conducted with different height of chimney. Maximum heat use efficiency (25%) was found for the chula dimension (L x B x H) : (1.68 X 0.84 x 0.4) m where height of chimney was 1.5 m.
