To operate on lower temperature stoves the SmartFan LT ranges have a special Peltier module installed that – unfortunately – won’t withstand any temperature above 190 centigrade so they cannot be used interchangeably on all kinds of stoves. The Peltier Powered stove fans are prone to overheating, many models of stove top fans have the ingenious bi-metallic strip attached to the base that gently tilts the fan away from the stove top when it reaches the upper temperature ranges. However, the Sirocco stove fans are heavier than their competitors, so the Hansa engineers have come up with a genuine solution that can’t be found in any other model. These stoves need dedicated stove fans that have their best operating temperature range shifted towards around 150 centigrade. You might be surprised but there are quite a few Peltier fans designed to work on a low temperature stove top, and even one Stirling engine fan. If you want to warm up a standard room with a stove that won’t reach temperatures above 350°c, then you need to consider stove fans like Valiant Premium, Ventum 3 or Phoenix. If you’re not sure what maximum temperatures your stove can reach, then you are better off buying a stove thermometer. It is an inexpensive device that not only helps to protect your fan, but also gives you a better understanding of the best operating temperatures of your stove. The Valiant stove fans are powerful, yet silent, reliable and covered by a 2 year warranty. The Ventum 3 is an evolution of the Premium. It starts at a lower temperature and spins faster thanks to the lighter blades. Stove 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.
It has very large blades that produce a good volume of airflow, we could feel it from 6ft away (about 1.8m). The blades do give a quiet hum, but it is not intrusive. You can hear it when you are stood next to the fan, but it doesn’t disturb a conversation, the radio or the TV. 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. Vast majority of the stove fans are powered by the Peltier module pressed between the lower heat sink and the top cooling part to secure sufficient temperature difference. Placement on the stove of those fans is crucial for their performance. Basically the best position for them is at the rear side of a stove and as far away from the flue pipe as possible. This way the cooler air can be drawn through the fan’s fins. This positioning ensures best performance but it doesn’t mean a different placement will cause the fan to stop.There are many stoves that whose top rarely get hotter than 250 centigrade, such as the soapstone stove or gas powered stove. The best thing you could do is buy a wood stove fan that will enhance the effectiveness of your stove. What Is the Stove Fan? 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 is a perfect fan should you have a stove that doesn’t generate a lot of heat, such as a soap stone stove, as it uses the heat from the hottest part of the stove, the flue, to generate the electricity needed to power the fan. It is also a good solution for the stoves that are designed with a decoration on top, or are simply not perfectly horizontal for a stove fan to sit on. Are there any fans for inset wood burning stoves?
A temperature gauge is an energy-efficient features which lets you monitor the heat and performance of your stove fan. You can use it to optimise its efficiency which will prevent against damage from overheating. 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.

We’ve been asked this question thousands of times through our online chat box or over the phone and, as there are very different settings of heating stoves, the answer isn’t simple. How big is your room? Is it an open plan room that you’d like to warm evenly? Unfortunately, owners of inset or built-in stoves were unable to get the most from their appliance with a stove fan, as the fans were designed to sit on the flat stove top. Which is just inaccessible for the inset or built in stove.
Aside from what you save by not using up too much fuel, the Sirocco also costs nothing to operate. All you have to do, literally, is put the fan on top of the stove, and then wait for the surface to be heated up. The Sirocco is capable of generating its own electricity, so you don’t even have to deal with all the hassle of batteries and power cords.This is because the heated surface of the Sirocco is large, and just by heating up this surface (by putting it on top of the stove), it can already generate a really large amount of power. What this means is that even if the heating process is over and done with, it can still operate for a longer period of time and continue to bring warmth to the room. The heat is maximized to its full efficiency, so you don’t have to keep worrying about added costs. Things are much easier with the Stirling powered fans like Vulcan or Warpfire, where there’s no temp difference required – just the heat from the stove. Stirling powered fans are not as vulnerable and withstand much higher temperatures. So if your stove usually gets very hot you might want to consider this kind of fan – especially if you have big area to push the warmth around. These stove fans run thanks to either a miniature Stirling engine or Thermoelectric Power Generators, better known as TEG modules. The generator takes the heat directly from the stove, then converts this heat into the electricity needed to run the fan. There are no moving parts in the thermoelectric generator, which makes these stove fans sturdy and reliable.If you’re not especially technically inclined, you might want to consider the largest and probably the most powerful Peltier powered stove fan by Valiant, the Vanquish 250. This model was introduced to the market last year (2016), is 250mm high and has two aerodynamically profiled blades that push large volumes of heat and is designed specifically for large rooms. A stove fan for a standard room. The most powerful stove fans are those powered by a Stirling engine, like Vulcan or Warpfive – both of which are handmade and British.
