    Fuel efficient hearth for boiling clams
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 1987) Pillai, S.A.; Balachandran, K.K.
    a simple and fuel efficient hearth was designed for boiling clams for recovery of meat. Experiments were conducted to study the efficiency of hearth using different fuels and compared with the conventional hearths and fuel used. The new hearth prevents much of the radiation loss of heat taking place in the conventional hearths which have an open area of about 70% on the circumference. The new hearth also allows for controlled burning of fuel by controlled admission of air using a hand blower. Any type of solid fuel can be used. Paddy husk has been found to be the most efficient and cheapest fuel for use in the new hearth.
