Bukhari is a space heating device designed and developed by DIPAS (DRDO) #

 

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS #

Safety Features: #

  • Multiple Level Safety: The Bukhari is designed to protect against blasts generated by back-drafts.
  • Back-Draft Resistant Exhaust Vent: This feature ensures that the device remains safe from any back-drafts.
  • Three Impact Braking Plates: These are strategically placed between two chambers to enhance safety.
  • No Auto Ignition: In case the burner is extinguished, the Bukhari won’t auto-ignite, ensuring user safety.
  • No Build-Up of Harmful Gases: The design ensures that no harmful gases or fumes accumulate in the room.

Efficiency: #

  • Fuel Consumption: The Bukhari is fuel-efficient, consuming only 500-700 ml of kerosene per hour.
  • Maximal Heat Extraction: The device is designed to ensure there’s no thermal wastage in the exhaust gases.
  • Heating Method: The Bukhari efficiently warms the room using both convective and radiative heating methods.

Environmental Impact: #

  • CO2 and Black Carbon Prevention: The Bukhari is environmentally friendly, preventing about one ton of CO2 and 0.3 tons of black carbon from being released into the environment annually.

Salient Features: #

  • Two-Chambered Design: The Bukhari has a unique two-chambered design; one chamber is for the hot air blower and the other for flue gases.
  • Solar-Powered DC Fan: The device uses a DC fan to circulate hot air in the room. This fan is powered by solar energy, which is stored in a battery.
  • Improved Maintenance-Free Exhaust Vent: This vent operates based on Bernoulli’s principle, ensuring that air doesn’t extinguish the burner, thus preventing fire hazards.
  • Three Burner Stove: The Bukhari comes with a three-burner stove that can be used for various purposes, including cooking, warming food, and heating water.
  • Controllable Blue Flame: This feature ensures there’s no soot formation, keeping the environment clean.
  • Optimized Heat Extraction: The Bukhari is designed to extract maximum heat, ensuring minimal wastage at the exhaust level.
