The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an outdoor walk, or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three different features to achieve its excellent 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 complete combustion of fuel gases. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass windows that really lets you see the fire in the room. You can choose from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that will match your interior. The top loading stove boasts a wide flat surface for pans and kettles on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn 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 include a new pre-heated air feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, leading to an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, which is directed at the glass to give you an improved view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
