The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following a winter walk or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its remarkable efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to keep the internal temperature high which results in a more complete combustion of fuel gases. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released in the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also has a stunningly large glass window that lets you see the fire in the room. You can choose from a variety of colours and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves, has passed all 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 burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.
This is achieved with an innovative clean burn system that has been upgraded to incorporate a new pre-heated air feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air that 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 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you use smokeless fuels.
