Today I decided it was time for the first modifications.
Since this puppy works like a charm, I’ve decided to add a larger fan to the exhaust.
I think it will be able to maintain the additional airflow.
I’ve removed the lower glass panel, which had broken during the first installation.
Since I had a spare pane, today was the day to change it.
Here is the galvanized ductwork out of the heater and in the snow
.
This was the perfect time for paint touch ups.
A little black paint and the blemishes are gone!
Electrical detail with the new larger fan (red and blue wires).
Here you can see the thermostat, four small fans that connect the lower and upper collectors, and new larger fan to exhaust the heat into the house.
The very first collector on the bottom panel had to be custom fitted to accommodate the new, bulkier fan.
Using my aircraft aluminum shears, I trimmed away the back part of the ducting to rough in an opening for the fan.
Thank you very much for looking at my page!
