Valiant Vanquish Stove Fan for Log Burners and Multifuel Stoves

Product Information

The 10th June saw the Valiant team head up to Harrogate, like many manufacturers they were off to exhibit at the Hearth and Home exhibition. This year, Valiant had two new products to showcase: the new colour indicator moisture meter and the Vanquish 250 Stove Fan. Bob Sizeland, Managing Director of Valiant, comments “We have had a fantastic show, with nearly a 100 new stove shops, installers and sweeps signing up for a copy of our price list and catalogue. Even though the footfall felt a little lower than usual, we have seen an increase in interest for our products – the new moisture meter being an instant hit amongst traders. For us, the exhibition has been a great success!” The Valiant stand, which was situated in hall 2 of the event, drew a lot of attention as people gathered to watch the new Vanquish 250 stove fan in action and test the new moisture meter. Woodsure, Hetas, Nacs and GMCS all promote the importance of wood quality (low moisture content) the largest contributor to efficiency and lowering pollution. Chimney fire safety week campaigners recognise that burning wood with greater than 17% moisture content increases the risk of incomplete burn therefore increasing Smoke, CO, soot, tar and chimney fires. My wife can't hear it running, but I can. It depends on whether you can hear the high pitch of a fast running fan, but I don't find it obtrusive. The stove airflow is louder and both repetitive noises are cut out by my brain after a while. Place the Thermometer on the top, front, or side of a flat or curved surface. The built-in magnet will maintain its hold on steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).

When the air heats up, the Sterling engine expands, thrusting a piston upward; when the air drops in temperature, the engine contracts, drawing the same piston downward. This rapid succession provides power that transforms the heat energy to mechanical energy used to turn the fan blade. The motor is mounted in the center of the fan’s body so the long blades don’t protrude over the stove fan’s top. Using electricity isn't a good idea either or you'd have to provide heat shielding for the wiring. If you didn't, the consequences could be disastrous, and definitely more than customers would be willing to live with. Thanks to refinements in inventions based on 19th century science, however, and vast economies of scale, TEG modules and miniature Stirling engines proved ideal for use in modern stove fans. How Does the Stove Fan Work?This 3-blade option has dimensions of 17 x 10 x 22 cm and weighs only 530g, making it one of the lightest heat powered fan hobs on the market.

If you’re looking for a way to take the efficiency of your fireplace or wood burning stove to the next level, you should strongly consider getting a Vanquish 250, by Valiant, and vanquish those cold winter nights for good! Both systems involve low-torque motors, which accounts for easy blade control. This means the said blades stop and start according to some pre-designed specification. Most stove fans start when the stove is at a temperature of 65 degrees C. or 150 degrees F. The stove fan is the tallest fan in our range, this, combined will the slender aerodynamically designed blades gives it the optimum air movement, pushing out more warm air into your room.This stove fan’s 150 to 180 CFM ratingmakes it good for smaller spaces. The actual speed is self-regulating based on the temperature and is effective between 55 and 350°C. Once this log burner fan exceeds 350°C, a bi-metallic safety device on the base works as an inbuilt protection system for the fan’s motor and module. While each stove fan review probably helped point you further in the right direction, the following sections aim to answer any lingering questions. It will also ensure that you choose the best possible stove fan for your intended purposes. Size

This stove fan sits atop a wood stove, coal, or pellet stove with no foreseeable problems. It has an operating temperature range of 50°C to 340°C, typical for a top-level stove fan. An alternate type of stove fan is just like a typical electric fan that draws cool air. However, instead of acting as cooling fans, they help circulate the warm air off the surface of your stove. We chose not to include any of this particular type of stove fan on our list and focused only on the more traditional heat powered design. What to Look For in a Stove FanStove fan equipped with such sophisticated devices could operate using nothing but the heat from the stove, which is great because that means no added fuel costs. Also, these devices don't need to be charged or recharged. They don't produce any pollution. They work silently, and pose no health or environmental hazards. Some manufacturers even claim that their products reduce the total cost to operate the stoves, and reduce emissions by burning up to 14% less fuel. That's the kind of performance that speaks for itself. The Valiant Vanquish 250 FIR364 stovetop fan also sources its optimum performance from a thermoelectric module that helps it self regulate based on the existing temperature. The motor has a 50°C minimum starting temperature and a maximum of 340°C. Additionally, it is built with an easy start system that keeps it running effectively and efficiently. So, do you need a stove fan? Most people find that they can benefit from using one. However, you may not need a stove fan if your stove is in a small room and you tend to sit close enough to feel its heat. Installing a stove fan may be unnecessary if you don’t have cold spots, hot spots, or issues heating the space effectively and efficiently. Remember that this is the exception to the rule, and stove fans are often the right choice. Where Do You Position a Stove Fan? The CWLAKON 2021 4 Blades stove fan was built with a hollow base design to help prevent potential overheating issues. A magnetic stove thermometer adds to this stove fan’s overall appeal as a bonus. Not to mention it makes it more user friendly. In addition, you will want to consider the size of the room you are trying to heat. The larger the room, the larger your stove fan will need to be to effectively and efficiently work as intended. Self Regulating

Fortunately, several bright, forward-thinking engineers came up with a solution to that – the stove fan! Valiant, a UK company, makes some of the finest stove fans in the industry today. Their latest model is the Vanquish 250. Before we get into the details of this model in particular, let’s talk about how stove fans work in general, as a means of laying some groundwork. The Basics Of Stove Fan Operation Bob Sizeland comments, “As a trusted manufacturer,Valiant constantly look for innovations that offer improved efficiency and sustainability to our customers. The Vanquish 250 is a perfect example of this; providing a solution for customers who have a larger space to heat.” The Vanquish 250 is the latest in a long line of stove fans by Valiant, and with each new generation they introduce, their design sees further refinement. This fan is the most powerful that the company has made so far, capable of moving an impressive 425CFM (cubic feet of air per minute), which makes it suitable even for very large rooms.
