The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or simply cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system that has three distinct features that contribute to its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burn of the gases produced by the fuel. This results in lower harmful emissions and reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with a stunningly large glass window which allows you to see the fire from inside. There is a choice of colored handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to match your interior. This top loading stove also has a large flat surface to place pans and kettles on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used for the purpose of burning wood or 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 combustion system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber via jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air that is directed at the glass, referred to as an 'air wash', to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classed as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
