Ventilator / Blower for Austropell pellet stoves

Ventilator importance

Pellet stove ExtraFlame ventilator

The ventilator blower heater for a pellet stove Austropell is a component that helps to distribute the warm air generated by the stove more efficiently throughout the room. The blower fan, which is typically located at the back of the stove, draws in cool air from the room and passes it over the heat exchanger within the stove. As the air passes over the heat exchanger, it is heated up and then forced out into the room through the front of the stove.

The blower fan is typically powered by an electric motor and can have variable speed settings to control the amount of air being circulated. Some pellet stoves may also have a thermostat that can be used to control the blower fan speed automatically based on the temperature in the room.

The heater element is typically located within the blower fan housing and can provide additional heat to the air being circulated by the fan. This can be useful for increasing the heating efficiency of the stove, especially in larger rooms or areas that are difficult to heat.

Find the correct ventilator for your pellet stove

It's important to note that different models of Austropell pellet stoves may have different specifications and components, so it's important to consult the manufacturer's documentation or a qualified technician for specific information about your stove's blower fan and heater element.

How to change the ventilator on Pellet stove

The process for changing the ventilator blower on a pellet stove can vary depending on the specific make and model of the stove. However, the following general steps may be helpful as a guide:

3. Locate the blower fan assembly. This may be attached to the stove with screws or clips.

4. Disconnect the wires that connect the blower motor to the pellet stove's electrical system. Make a note of which wires connect where so that you can reconnect them correctly later.

5. Remove the blower fan assembly from the pellet stove. This may require removing additional screws or clips that secure it to the stove.

6. Install the new blower fan assembly by reversing the steps above. Be sure to connect the wires to the correct terminals on the new blower motor.

7. Replace the access panel and plug the stove back in.

8. Turn the power back on and test the new blower fan to make sure it is working properly.
