As regulations surrounding wood-burning stoves continue to tighten it is interesting to see the Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove already exceeds the European ecodesign standard, a standard which will become more prominent in years to come. At first glance the Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove looks like a stereotypical basic square shaped wood-burning stove. However, this is a very interesting addition to the Arada range of stoves.
Technical details of the Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove
The Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove is a wood-burning stove which is suitable for use in smoke control areas. The dimensions are width 615 mm, height 696 mm with a depth of 510 mm. The machine has an efficiency rating of 82.4% and is able to accommodate logs up to a maximum length of 500 mm – creating heat output of 11.4 kW. This is the type of stove which is suitable for medium to large rooms and the fact that it is an eco-friendly product should make it even more desirable.
The body of the stove comes with a lifetime guarantee and has a stainless steel ash pan and throat plate for easy maintenance. The 6 inch spigot is available as standard with alternative spigots also available free of charge. This stove is direct air compatible, has an externally controlled riddling grate, preheated airwash system to ensure the door glass is clean at all times and a rear heat shield which helps with positioning next to combustibles. The legs are adjustable, it comes with standard detachable handle or optional wooden handle and is available in matt black or grey.
Comfortable in any environment
Some stoves are suitable for traditional rooms while others are more compatible with contemporary environments. The relatively basic design of the Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove shape actually makes it compatible with both environments. As you will see above, it may look relatively basic, the design is not necessary contemporary but it contains the latest in combustion technology. This allows the fuel to be burned and any excess gases to be used again to increase the heat output.
Those who have looked at wood-burning stoves in the past will be well aware of the different ambience they bring to any room. Can you imagine, coming back from a hard day at the office, kicking off your shoes, lying back on your couch and enjoying the flickering flames and the burning embers of your Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove? The relatively high heat output from this stove also ensures your room will be warm in a relatively short space of time.
Appearances can be deceptive
At first glance the Arada Farringdon Catalyst Eco Stove looks deceptively basic but under the surface lays the latest in combustion technology and a stove which actually exceeds the European Union ecodesign regulations. It is not difficult to see why this stove is proving popular and why the likes of Arada are putting so much research and development into their new line of products. It stands to reason that, whether the UK is part of the European Union are not, regulators will demand ever more efficient stoves which not only burn the base fuel but also the excess gases to create more heat and reduced emissions.
