Valiant (FIR361) Premium IV 4-Blade Heat Powered Log Burner & Stove Fan, Black

Product Information

Stove fans are more popular in the UK than the rest of the world, this is because in the UK most people put a stove in an old fireplace where once stood a traditional open fire. Some people feel this enclosed space inhibits heat from dispersing around the room and home properly.

Yes, in two different senses. Firstly, they can end up making the room too hot through the use of the stove fan and so you may want to remove it from the stove for a while to allow the room to cool a little. Given the fact that no assembly is required, and setup amounts to simply placing the little fan on top of the stove, there’s nothing really in the way of maintenance to be done. Nonetheless, Valiant stands behind their products, offering a two-year materials and workmanship guarantee on every fan they sell. The Valiant Premium iV stove fan offers some fantastic features such as a starting temperature of just 45C, a 2-year warranty and also cuts the fan out as the temperature of the stove decreases.The bottom of the stove fan gets hot from the stove and the top of the fan is cooler, the differential between the two drives the motor which in turn rotates the blades of the fan. This fan is silent and it is also very compact. The fan can fit into very small spaces. No installation is required which makes this fan very easy to use. The Vanquish stove fan is protected from overheating by a strip of bimetal fitted in the fan’s base. Fuel quality is the single most important aspect of making a successful fire. To burn effectively the moisture content of firewood needs to be less than 20%, whether it’s being used in an open fire or a stove. Freshly felled timber can have a moisture content of between 30% and 60%, which when burnt can cause dangerous creosote build-up in chimneys. The Galleon Fireplaces Eco Friendly Silent Heat Powered Stove Fan distributes heat evenly so you get more heat right where you want it.

The fan is designed to operate between 120 degrees Fahrenheit, to a maximum temperature of 640 degrees Fahrenheit (340 Celsius). If the temperature of the surface of the stove should exceed this value, the fan will shut off automatically, so as to avoid damage.

They not only take less space but also look stylish. You should consider the overall aesthetics of your fireplace before buying the fan. Make sure the fan looks nice on your fireplace. DimensionsIf you have a particularly small stove, you would want a smaller unit, on the flip side you may a particularly large room that needs the heat distributing around. Without a fan, a lot of heat generated by a stove is lost as the air rises directly vertically. However, a stove fan uses its blades to divert the warm air horizontally filling the whole room as opposed to the area directly between the stove and the ceiling. Stove fans are small units placed on wood-burning stoves to circulate warm air in a room, enhancing the stove’s heating efficiency. Wondering which stove fan to buy? Go for VonHaus 3 Blade Stove Fan.
