The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an excursion in winter or cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more efficient burning of fuel gases. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also has a stunningly large glass window which allows you to 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 comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing pans and kettles.
Like all stoves made by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It is only suitable for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished with a new clean burning system that has been improved to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels that are above the fire. The gas that is pre-heated ignites the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, leading to an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, known as an 'air wash', to give you 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 classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
