The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an outdoor walk, or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its brand new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures, resulting in an even more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted in the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove with an enormous glass window to view the flame. You can pick from a variety of colours and the chrome pedestal will complement your interior. This top-loading stove has a large flat surface that you can place pans and kettles on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If small wood burning heater were to use non-approved fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is accomplished with the new clean combustion system that has been upgraded to incorporate an air supply that is pre-heated that is inserted into the combustion chamber through channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, leading to the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, also known as an air wash, to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the brand new Penguin stove meets the strictest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
