Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The “Lekil Vaj 2.0” ecological stove is a new, 100% Mexican stove model that emerged from the evolution of experiences acquired during the development of various stove models successfully implemented in over 3,000 households across six municipalities in the state of Chiapas. It is based on the concept of low cost and high efficiency, and it is fur ther characterized by its ease of assembly, durability, compact design, aesthetics, portability, and ease of installation and maintenance. This work presents its design by detailing all parts and components along with their specif ic dimensions. It also describes the construction process and implementation in various communities experiencing high levels of poverty and marginalization in Chiapas. In performance evaluations conducted in both laboratory and field settings, this stove is capable of reaching stable temperatures above 350°C, with maximum temperatures of up to 560°C, reducing cooking times by more than 30% compared to other stove models.
