Redesign of a Traditional Ritual Furnace for Reducing Environmental Impact
Wei-Long Chen, Cheng-Chi Chang, and Fang-Lin Chao
Abstract—The practice of burning gold paper in Taiwan is a
profound yet common culture event, but it causes air pollution
and, thus, environmental impact. The design scheme preserves
the traditional customs and reduces the smoke and tiny
particles diffused to the ambient air. Concept design-I is a
rectangular tube structure with a partition frame to form a
second combustion chamber. These partitions need a place
among the internal space. Concept design-II uses a circular tube
structure with better aesthetic expression. But the fabrication
accuracy and installation of a circular structure are
troublesome to achieve. We choose the concept-I as the
implemented model. The functional model has shown much less
smoke generated with the help of a secondary combustion
chamber.
Index Terms—Ritual furnace, environmental impact, redesign, combustion chamber.
