Default 200 watt fan enough for 9.6 kW duct heater?



"Ignoramus32654" wrote in message
...
I have a 2x2 feet 200 watt square box fan. 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 doubt it. If the duct heater was properly mounted in a duct I would expect
to see at least a 1/2 HP squirrel cage blower on it. A box fan will move a
fair amount of air, but any resistance to flow will cut the air flow
drastically. Keep your eyes open for a used furnace blower.
