It's a balance of air flow and amperage. The front coils are OK to
overcooled. The rear coils lack sufficient air flow and are WAY too hot.
You need to first rearrange the coils so they all receive equal and
adequate air flow and then re-evaluate. The muff fan may not be enough.
A nice 4 blade fan will move more air, give better turbulence and wider
dispersion.

I am making this garage heater so that working in my garage is less
painful in winter. It has a 9.6 kW heating element. I made some
photos, some with flash and some (out of focus) without flash. The
ones without flash make condition of coils a little more visible.

The heater is not done yet, it needs a few extras, although it is
working. The case that it is in is a case from an old "die attachment
evaluator".

My question is, are the coils too hot or not. Any ideas?
