Last weekend I went over to Blaine’s to test the computer water pump and the purpose built computer radiator. The water pump was a bust as it never ran, no idea why. As for the radiator, it was extremely inefficient compared to Blaine’s Setrab.
The outside temperature was 62 F, and running the 2 fans (on med-low speed) hooked up to the Setrab, the blown air temperature quickly rose to 114 F and held steady. Then, we hooked up the computer radiator with its attached fan, and it could not hold the temp. As a matter of fact, you could see the temperature dropping quite rapidly, and we stopped the test when it was in the mid 80’s F, still declining. Conclusion: the Setrab rules.
Overall, I was really impressed by this system, it puts out a nice soft heat. Think of your home central heat, with a “softer” air to it. It also doesn’t cycle the water heater that much, thus in theory, not consuming much more propane than required to heat the water. There are no fumes to worry about and you can touch every part with your hand without running the risk of getting burnt. This is a nice system so far.
