Abstract

The practice of burning gold paper in Taiwan is aprofound yet common culture event, but it causes air pollutionand, thus, environmental impact. The design scheme preservesthe traditional customs and reduces the smoke and tinyparticles diffused to the ambient air. Concept design-I is arectangular tube structure with a partition frame to form asecond combustion chamber. These partitions need a placeamong the internal space. Concept design-II uses a circular tubestructure with better aesthetic expression. But the fabricationaccuracy and installation of a circular structure aretroublesome to achieve. We choose the concept-I as theimplemented model. The functional model has shown much lesssmoke generated with the help of a secondary combustionchamber.
