The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a wintry walk or simply cook an entire family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system which has three distinct features to ensure its remarkable efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts help to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more complete burning of the fuel gases. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted in the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. There are a variety of coloured handles and an angled chrome pedestal to complement your interior. This top-loading stove boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves built by Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent 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 that are released into the atmosphere.
This is achieved with a new clean burn system that has been improved to include an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets 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 at the glass, known as an 'air wash', to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
This combination of systems guarantees that the new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
