How The Ecofan Works

Ecofans use a thermoelectric module that acts as a small generator to power the fan's motor using a principle called the "Seebeck Effect". The patented design of the Ecofan allows the base of the fan to heat the bottom surface of the module, while the top of the module is kept cooler by the fan's top cooling fins. The thermoelectric module is made of two different types of semiconductors (p-type and n-type) and when it experiences the heat differential between its top and bottom surfaces, electrons begin flowing across the module and it pumps out the electricity needed to operate the fan.

Increased Efficiency & Comfort

Warm air is circulated directly into the living area rather than having most of the stove's heat rise immediately to the ceiling, thereby increasing the heating effectiveness of the stove. Improved warm air circulation results in greater comfort and less fuel consumption.

Many people use their Ecofan to help combat dry air. This can be done by positioning the Ecofan behind a tray of water on the stove top to boost the rate of evaporation.

"No Fuss" Operation

The Ecofan starts automatically and adjusts its speed with the stove temperature. As the stove heats up, the Ecofan runs faster to move more warm air into the room. As the stove burns down and cools, the Ecofan automatically shuts off.

Costs Nothing To Operate

Using only the heat from the stove, the Ecofan is the most economical way to effectively circulate warm air. It does not plug in, uses no batteries and can be used where there is no electricity.

Unique Blade Design

The unique anodized gold of nickel coloured blade has been specifically designed to deliver a very broad cross section of gentle air movement instead of a small cone of concentrated air.
