9.6 kW heater update
I'd say the air flow might be a bit low - or due to the pictures - the cage was
so open for the pictures - Wires don't have to be red to be hot or deliver heat. You want to keep them from melting!

The fan I have now is about 230 CFM. i ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

You want to keep them from melting! Thank you Martin. Yes, I will look for a bigger fan, I think that it will be a little nicer on the nicheome coils and would also move air a little better. Don made a nice suggestion of something at SurplusCenter. I think that I will buy it. Get five of these? Incorporate a venturi? http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/CF-205 |
