Ventilator / Blower for Pegaso pellet stoves

Ventilator importance

Pellet stove ExtraFlame ventilator

The ventilator blower heater for a pellet stove Pegaso 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.

It's important to note that different models of Pegaso 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.
