The Chilli Penguin Defrost
The name implies, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or simply cook an entire family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a more complete burn 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 lets you see the fire in the room. There is a choice of handles in different colors and an angled chrome pedestal to suit your interiors. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface for kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and 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 accomplished through an innovative clean-burn system which has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed at the glass to provide an improved view of the flames.
