The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a much more complete burn of the gas produced by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a powerful stove with an enormous glass window to see the fire. You can pick from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for the placement of kettles and pans.
The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If modern wood burner burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could face fines of up to PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is accomplished by the new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases that are produced by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, known as an 'air wash' to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
