What are the best wood stove fans? There are other kinds of fans as well, and some operate differently. For example, some fans have a module that translates heat via conduction into voltage or electrical energy that can be used by the fan motor. There are also options that have an electric motor and can be manually turned on and off. Increased efficiency… warm air is pushed out into the living area rather than just rising to the ceiling above the stove. This improves the heating effectiveness of the stove and results in greater room comfort as shown below.

A two vaned blade is easier to balance and remain balanced so it will run smoother with less vibration and noise. Depending on the size of your room, this answer can change. If you have a larger stove or need to heat a bigger space, two fans can be worth the investment. Otherwise, try to start with one and see if it gets the job done on its own.

Unique Blade Design - Safe and Efficient:The unique Ecofan® blade is designed to deliver a broad cross section of gentle warm air movement to avoid uncomfortable drafts. The blade is our most efficient blade yet, moving more air at a wider range of stove temperatures. Complies with IEC 60335-2-80 safety standards.Three vaned blades require more torque power (the force required to get a mass moving) to start their great mass and overcome the greater drag of their increased surface area. Caframo have two decades of experience perfecting the Ecofan. This means lower failures and higher customer satisfaction. The Ecofan is designed to be used on freestanding stoves with normal surface temperatures on 85°C - 345°C. Temperatures above 345°C may damage yourEcofan. Relocate your Ecofan to a cooler spoton your stove if the surface temperature exceeds 345°C. Good wood stove practice includes using a stove thermometer.

Three vaned blades create more turbulence, or dirty air, for the blades to fight through given the small amount of power generated by the Ecofan. This makes it difficult for the product to reach its peak efficiency. td>75 - 200°C140The 806 BelAir Ecofan outperforms the 800, 810 and 812 EcofansUltrAir Model: 100-345°C / 212-650°F.
