Default 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!

Don Foreman said that not so bright red color of the coils is fine, I
will look for a bigger fan at acceptable price, but for now will use
what I have. The fan I have now is about 230 CFM.

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?
