Introduction
- a thermal stove fan is a fan which you place on a hot stove and the heat from the stove generates the fan motion which then can blow warm air across the tent
- does not require batteries
How it works
- the base plate radiator and vanes are generally made of aluminium and have good thermal conductivity
- the temperature differences generates electricity to drive the motor for the fan which can generally blow air about 3m
- the fan must be placed on a thermally conductive surface of a stove, usually near the side or back but not in front of the chimney
- the higher the temperature, the faster the speed
Working temperature range
- starting temperature range is usually 85-110degC
- usual working temperature range is 85degC to 345degC
- stove surface temperatures above 345degC may damage the fan so if temperatures rise past this, you need to remove the fan from the stove - BUT remember the base of the stove fan will be very hot so it needs to be placed on a safe metal surface to avoid burns
