Do wood burner fans work.

As pointed out a stirling engine fans and ecofans for wood burners are positioned on top of the wood burning stove and rely wholly on the heat from the wood burner stove to work. You don t need to connect to the electric power or buy batteries. The heat differential between the base of the unit and the top of the fan drives the motor which in turn drives the blades around while the cooling fans at the rear help keep the top of the fan at a much lower temperature making sure the fan spins maintains constant revolutions. Yes investing in a wood burner stove top fan will contribute to lower your energy bills.

When a valiant stove fan is placed on a working wood burning stove heat is conducted from the surface of the stove travelling up from the aluminium base of the fan to the underside of the peltier device. By now everyone who has a wood or multi fuel burning stove has heard of stove fans.
