TOSAI stove 241 A

Product Information

So in my unbiased view you have an issue which is clearly a problem (to you) and now appear to have two choices with which to solve it. I buy my Kerosene from a fuel broker in 20 / 25 litre drums, and I simply put some plastic sheet / old newspapers down on the sink draining board, and pump the fuel from out of the larger 25 litre container into the removable heater fuel tank via the Mr Funnel using the siphon pump. If you take your time using this method then the whole operation is clean and spill free, and it takes less than a few minutes to fill the fuel tank in this manner. The heater fuel tank has a small glass window in the side, so you can see the fuel level rise as you fill it, so there is no risk of spillage through overfilling.

Automatic shut-off is activated when the heater is bumped into, or in the event of a tip-over (earthquake safety device). SAFETY DEVICE It is even possible to obtain paraffin far cheaper than the initial 70p / litre example I gave and so stretch those savings further, but i’ll move onto that shortly. Also bear in mind that the savings and comparisons I made are for one heater in a small flat, if you have the requirement for more than one electric heater, and replace it with paraffin the total savings will increase even further by using a Paraffin Inverter Heater, in place of each Electric Heater, noting that the heaters are also portable and easily carried by one person, so it is possible to move it from room to room, living room to bedroom or even to the shed or caravan, and these heaters are also ideal for heating a conservatory, where Electricity has previously been the only option. Safe and Reliable, being 99% efficient and having no external flue or chimney means 99% of the heat produced from the fuel actually goes into the room, not out of the flue. Far more efficient than portable gas heaters, LPG fired central heating, older gas fires and virtually just as efficient as more expensive electric heating, but at 50% – 75% of the cost – FACT. In comparison, I’ve used gas bottle Calor heaters in the same building twenty years ago and had very noticeable amounts of condensation, so (purely in my own opinion & my experience) if these heaters do produce moisture, they don’t produce it in the same volumes as traditional Calor heaters.These new economical heaters are virtually 100% efficient, eradicating any smell or condensation as in oldfashionedparaffin and gas heaters.These heaters are designed to run on premium paraffin which is also called class 1 kerosene use of any other fuel will invalidate any warrantyFuel tank Filler pump included Similarly, it has some amazing safety features. For instance, the Anti-topple technology, low-fuel alarm and Carbon Monoxide Alarm help rank the Inverter among the safest heaters on the Irish Market! Therefore, it’s ideal for use as a home or conservatory heater. for Kero isn’t the cheapest but it still isn’t too bad and you are still set to save quite a bit on your heating bill. Even at 64p a litre, 6.4p per KW/H for heat during the Day as you need it, is much cheaper than Electricity on a standard rate tariff, and more than 50% cheaper than Electricity on a peak time Economy 7 tariff, and if you can get the Kero for 52p, even better as that will be around 5.2p kw/h.

A 1600va / 2000va rated UPS would power the unit for quite a while – assuming that the heater was already running when the outage occured and only required 22w of power to run the fan etc. By buying heating oil kerosene from a local depot reduces my cost of the fuel from 70p per litre to 53p per litre, this means that the real cost of running my Inverter heater falls even further, from 7p per KW to 5.3p per KW – making it almost as cheap as mains gas, and even less than the cost of Economy 7 overnight electricity which my (useless) storage heaters use. You could probably reduce this to below 5p if you shopped around, and had the space to store a bulk heating oil delivery.The Electronic versions, being fan based have a greater degree of control and temperature accuracy, including a Digital Electronic Thermostat which modulates the heat from the burner, so the closer the heater gets to reaching the desired room temperature, the burner output is reduced automatically. I originally bought Paraffin from a local allotment society for 70p a litre. I get 10kw worth of heat from each litre burned which brings down the price for heating to 7p per KW/H. (I now pay 5.3p per KW using standard home heating oil kerosene @ 53p a litre but i’ll get to that later) So these error codes are something that can be avoided by following the instructions provided with the machine. These heaters do require 240v to run a small internal element for a minute or two just to pre-warm the combustion chamber prior to igniting the burner, and then to run the fan during operation, so you will need an Electric hook up capable of at least 6A or an inverter. Once lit they only consume a small amount of power whilst running – about 20 watts.

I currently buy Electricity during the ‘peak’ periods from Npower, at around 21 pence per KW/H (Edit: This would now be around 40p / Kwh in October 2023) One of the main advantages of a Zibro Paraffin Heater is its low fuel consumption. The heaters run on clean burning fuel especially formulated for Zibro Heaters. Fuel is available at many outlets such as reputable garden centres, DIY shops, online shops etc. Just one litre of fuel will typically warm up your room for up to five hours. Very easy to budget your heating costs. These heaters will only work with certain fuels, the most obvious is class c1 or premium paraffin, which is the manufacturers’ recommended fuel, but is horrendously and prohibitively expensive for those using these heaters to save money on domestic heating. These fires incorporate an electronic thermostat to control room temperature, also allowing a timer to be set so the fire will turn on at a desired time. Simply turning the main dial to the right and push the igniter button, activating the “spark” or piezo element.

DEHUMIDIFIERS & AIR CONDITIONERS

As for finding a good cheap supply of fuel for the future, I’m hoping that with all the people around here that use oil and get deliveries from tankers, I’ll have at least a couple of people I can either buy from at cost or get them to add extra to their delivery and fill my cans. Its very frustrating that directly below my bedroom window is a large tank thats almost full of the stuff, and it won’t be topped up for a very long time as its used so infrequently. Unfortunately, you will always get a smell of paraffin when these heaters are first turned on and again when they shut down. These type of heaters don’t have an outside flue, so where else can the smell from the combustion process starting and stopping go.

As you can see, the Corona Paraffin Heater is worth considering as a portable, money saving room heating alternative to either Economy 7 or Standard Electric Heating, as well as LPG heating. Its also ideal as temporary heating for outbuildings or for using on Boats and Static Caravans where LPG may prove very costly. It is also ideal for supplementary heating in short term rented accommodation as no flue or building modification is required and being portable you can take it with you when you move.

Details

E4 / E2 / E0 codes are displayed when contaminated fuel or poor combustion is detected. It’s caused by one of two things. This is where my own experiences begin, I have a rural property which is outside of the mains gas area and doesn’t have any form of central heating, the property is insulated and has double glazing, however it suffers from one handicap, the fact that it has electric storage heaters. Those who have storage heaters will already know, that come winter they are extremely inflexible, increasingly expensive to run and by around 5pm or 6pm they have exhausted all of their useful heat and once night falls, the room rapidly becomes cold. Electricity is supplied on Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariffs, and although these tariff’s give you seven to ten hours of cheap overnight electricity, the cost of the Electricity during the normal day (peak) periods is significantly more expensive than on a standard non economy 7 tariff. Up to three or four times higher per unit in fact!.
