The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following a winter walk or to cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete burn of the gases produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released in the atmosphere.
The result is an efficient stove that has a large glass window to view the fire. You can pick from a variety of colours and the chrome pedestal will complement your interior. This top-loading stove boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves made by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections.

If you were to use non-approved fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is achieved with a new clean burning system that has been upgraded to include an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete combustion and less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, also known as a cushion of air, which is directed at the glass to provide a clearer view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classed as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you use smokeless fuels.
