Primus No.110 Heat Radiator




This heat radiator setup has the 110’s regulator control knob positioned behind the radiator for ease of use, given the substantial amount of heat which is generated.

Looks like a fun category.

 

Innit to win it @Pharael

That's a beauty!

 

@nmp

Thank you! Still keeping an eye out for a No.57 you are after.

 

@Pharael yes still looking !
Do you think it makes much difference to the heart output off the reflector having it highly polished? Instinct tells me it will make a difference but much?

 

@nmp

IMO, your instinct is correct.

The max. heat output is around 2.1 kW, but here’s the rub…

Having a radiator with a shiny surface does not actually increase the heat output (that remains the same) - what it does is reflect the heat which is being generated from the burner more efficiently forwards (less heat absorption by the radiator) but not by a large amount, I would guesstimate by no more than 10%.

So this difference in radiated heat would only be noticeable in my opinion, when one is in relatively close proximity to the Heat Radiator.

Pharael.
