The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a wintry walk or to cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire inside. You can choose from a variety of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top loading stove also boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels then you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an 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 incorporate a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, which is directed towards the glass to provide better views 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 than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
