With the use of TE generators, the different functions of the domestic stove can be increased (cooking, water heating, space
heating and electricity supply). Even if the conversion efficiency is low, the electric power is sufficient to supply a small fan to improve the combustion in the stove, charge a battery and light high brightness low power LEDs. The fan forces the air through the stove, leading to higher temperatures and a better air/fuel ratio. This results in a cleaner burning and a more efficient use of fuel. The TE power generation has the advantages of being maintenance free, silent in operation and involving no moving or complex parts.
