200 watt fan enough for 9.6 kW duct heater?
My 35,000 btu gas furnace has a "0.64 amps @ 115 volts ac" (about 75
watts) fan and that has worked fine for 14 years. Seems to me that's about the same size as your heating element. If you had a lot of duct work, it might be a different situation, but IIRC you said this thing will sit on the floor and warm the shop while you are in it.

I measured its power consumption with a Kill-a-watt watt meter, and it measured at about 205 watts on the highest setting. It perceptibly blows a lot of air and creates quite a wind. Keeping in mind that I have not yet even received the heater... Would a 200 watt fan move enough air to cool down a 9.6 kW coil? thanks i |
