The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an outdoor walk, or cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burn of the gas produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the air.
The result is a powerful stove that has an enormous glass window to view the fire. There's a selection of coloured handles and an angled chrome pedestal to complement your interior. This top loading stove has an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built 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 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 the atmosphere.
This is accomplished by the new clean burning system that has been improved to include a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber through channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, which results in a better burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air which is directed towards the glass, known as an air wash, to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin is in compliance with the most stringent emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
