How does a Multifuel stove work?Updated a month ago
Our multifuel stoves do exactly what their name implies - they run on different types of fuel. Whether you have access to propane, white gas, kerosene/paraffin or jet fuel, these stoves will perform in all weather conditions.
From fuel catridge to combustion
With the ErgoPump™, you pump up the pressure in the cartridge so that fuel reaches the burner at all angles, no matter how much fuel is left.
The burner heats up during preheating and use, vaporising the fuel. Ultimately, whatever fuel you use, it's the vaporised fuel that burns.
The burner nozzles are interchangeable to optimise the heat output for each type of fuel. Each individual nozzle is clearly marked so that you can easily match it to the fuel you intend to use.
Fuel with a higher flash point, such as diesel, requires more oxygen to burn with optimum efficiency. It requires a smaller nozzle as the air supply is always the same regardless of the type of fuel you are using. Fuel with a higher flash point requires more preheating, which is optimised by a lower fuel flow.
The multifuel stoves produce a powerful flame, so the stoves work in the most extreme weather conditions. This, combined with their light weight, makes our multifuel stoves an excellent choice for the most demanding adventurer. The pump is designed to suck in air instead of fuel when the cartridge is upside down. This relieves pressure from the entire system and prevents you from having to deal with excess fuel.
