Swiss Cobra reduces environmental impact of fireplaces
Birmensdorf ZH - Die Firma Swiss Cobra aus Birmensdorf hat einen patentierten Edelstahlständer für Cheminées entwickelt. Damit können Schadstoffe um bis zu 40 Prozent reduziert werden, wie eine Studie belegt. Ausserdem wird das Anzünden erleichtert.
Swiss Cobra wants to revolutionize fireplaces with a patented stainless steel stand. With its product called Cheminée Cobra, the woods can be positioned parallel to each other in a targeted manner. This allows the air-gas mixture to flow around the woods. The stand “not only makes lighting easier and beautifies the flame pattern, but also makes an impressive contribution to environmental protection,” as Christian Schmid, managing director of Swiss Cobra, explains in a statement.
The contribution of Cheminée Cobra to environmental protection has now also been proven in a study supported by the Federal Office for the Environment(FOEN). According to the statement, the study attests to a reduction in pollutants of up to 40 percent. Schmid also explains the study results in detail. According to the study, Cheminée Cobra can reduce methane gas (OGC) by up to 64 percent, carbon monoxide (CO) by up to 38 percent and soot and particulate matter by 24 percent.
The study, supported by the FOEN as part of its Environmental Technology Funding (UTF) program, was conducted by the accredited Swiss Testing Laboratory for Wood Combustion at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland in Windisch AG. The detailed results can be viewed online.
