The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an excursion in winter or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. wood burning fires of secondary heat-retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gases generated by the fuel. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass windows which allows you to see the fire inside. You can choose from a variety of colors and a chrome pedestal that matches your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built by Stovax the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use non-approved fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is achieved with the new clean burn system that has been upgraded to incorporate an air supply that is pre-heated that is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass to give you an improved 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 when it burns wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
