The Chilli Penguin Defrost

As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or to cook an entire family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.

The result is an efficient stove that has large glass windows to see the fire. You can pick from a range of colors and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top loading stove has an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.

Like all stoves built by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are 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 released into atmosphere.

This is accomplished by an innovative clean combustion system that has been improved to include an air supply that is pre-heated that is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases released by the fuel, leading to the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, which gives you a clearer view of the flames.

The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
