Heater replacement suggestions needed

[ttikalsky]

Did you install the Proheat into the existing motoraid heaters or
build a complete new loop? If installed in the existing loop does
anything special need to be done when the big motor is running and
heating the coolant? The computer cooling fans is a geat idea, they
can be very quite and move a decent amount of air.

the boiler as two LP heaters. You can make your own convectors with
automotive heater cores and computer cooling fans to save money. I
use the convectors provided by Red Dot, they have extensive HVAC
options, you might want to check their offerings. The Red Dot
convectors start at 125 bucks and go up 500 for a 50k btu. Fuel
Systems in Brookfield WI is a good supplier for both product lines 262
781 4353. Dan or Shawn are knowledgeable fellows.

proheat in the morning, fired it up after lunch, heat gage on 150
degrees, ran like I used it day before. I hate starting a cold
engine, and boilers do a better job than electric pre heaters as they
heat the whole system.
