Intelligent, fully automatic primary, secondary, and tertiary air systems
The new design line by DAN SKAN distinguishes itself by further developing the tried
and tested DAN SKAN patented automatic air system. A mechanical bimetal spring
(not requiring any battery or power) not only regulates the post-combustion air but also
controls the whole burning process. This means the user does not need to adjust
anything, the stove regulates itself!
During the initial phase the primary, secondary and tertiary air systems are opened to
the maximum. During the heating process the secondary and tertiary air systems are
opened and closed according to requirements. All the air intake is pre-heated in the
AIRBOX. The secondary and tertiary air systems are additionally pre-heated within
special channels in the fire chamber to get an optimally clean combustion.
Classic Automatic Tertiary Air
Thanks to the bimetal-controlled automatic tertiary air system which has been tried and
tested for over 20 years, all DAN SKAN stove have self-regulating post-combustion
airflow. Because of this the levels of fine particles tested by the EN are well below the
norm for the BImSchV II. Low emission burning of DAN SKAN stoves has always been
our contribution to protecting the environment.
Connection for external or direct air intake
This, in combination with the patented automatic system, is a real DAN SKAN invention.
Strategically placed at the back of the fire chamber, the AIRBOX uses the heat from
combustion to pre-heat the external air. At the same time the AIRBOX is used as a
connection for external air supply which can now be closed on all DIBt (a stringent
German compliance scheme) tested models.
Hot purge air for exceptionally clean windows
The special air wash system for the glass (secondary air) is pre-heated very intensively in
special channels directly over the burning chamber. A DAN SKAN invention, which prevents
soot particles getting on to the glass as much as possible.
Self-closing, tightening door latch
The DanSkan door mechanism safely and securely seals the stove door to the stove
bodywork in a simular way to a modern car door.
‘Cool hand’ door handle
The door handles stay cool enough to be opened without protective gloves even after the
stove has been in use for a long time.
Optional heat storage elements
Additional heat storage can be placed directly above the burning chamber. This means
even a steel stove can be turned into an energy-saving stove.
Optional rear connection
The new stoves with this symbol can also be connected to the chimney at the rear.
Glass font hearth plates available
These offer many advantages over the normal plates, such as being easy to lift up for
cleaning. They can be easily stored in summer and also look elegant (subject to local
building regulations).
Turntable plate available
For these models a turntable plate is available. It can also be added at a later stage and
comes as a set complete with a flue adaptor.
