The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or simply cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its brand new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a more complete combustion of the gases generated by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less particles that are released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. You can pick from a variety of colours and an elegant chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. This top-loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for the placement of kettles and pans.
Like all stoves made by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished with an innovative clean burning system that has been upgraded to include a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and less harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air, that is directed at the glass to provide a clearer view of the flames.
This combination of systems guarantees 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 when it burns wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
