The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following a winter walk or cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more efficient burning of fuel gases. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and reduces particles that are released into the atmosphere.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with a stunningly large glass window which allows you to see the fire in the room. You can choose from a range of colors and the chrome pedestal will match your interior. This top loading stove also boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished by a new clean-burn system which has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed that is introduced to the combustion chamber through channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air, which is directed at the glass to provide a clearer view of the flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you use smokeless fuels.
