Insulate the loop, and measure power output at the radiator. This is not hard. Just pretend you're running a chiller in your system and you want to avoid condensation. Ignoring such an obvious solution is silly.
That makes the heat source repeatable; it does not measure the actual wattage.

Do you know the temp difference that you're proposing to measure? (i.e. radiator output)? You also need to have a precise measurement of the airflow, if you're going to measure a dT air-in to air-out. Both measurements at 1% accuracy or better.
