Holy surface area! Yeah, just hide that thing on a floorboard and you would have an excellent stealth passive system.

Eh dont care about stealth. But this is the first time Ive run the iwaki for a long period of time. Its getting VERY hot. Almost to the point where I cant keep my hand on it. Its not heating up the water though. The head doesnt feel hot, yeah course its plastic. Its an 100v version but I already put a 16ohm in series with it. Anyone else's iwaki get hot? |

edit--------- read that link which talked about iwakis heat and had a link to OCAU forums about the same subject, thanks. Just caught me off guard when it ran that hot. I need to remake that cap on the end of the pump. Got the pump used and it didnt come with a back. had to make one to hold the extra resistor anways so I didnt mind. But its PVC and that resistor gets hot too (yeah Im an idiot should have thought about that). Maybe drill holes to ventilate. Just wish I could make a cap out of aluminum. Any of you guys that I envy b/c you have a lathe want to manufacture a cap for me? Last edited by JamesAvery22; 08-09-2005 at 11:49 AM. |

local grainger. Had to order it using the companies name whome I work for then pay in cash. They wouldn't take an order from an individual.

That type of radiator is commonly found in baseboard heaters. You could probably find them in old houses or in a heating supplies catalog for decently cheap.

You are going to raise that rad up off of whatever it is sitting on aren't you? Not much air flow the way it's pictured. You could also save alotta space by cutting it into sections and looping it back on itself (the fins can be removed to give you spaces to solder. Great idea, waiting to hear results.

Not going to cut it up. There is a turbulator I made inside it already and its permanent. Got pics of that but havent uploaded them anywhere. And removing the fins pretty much destroys the fins. You'd have to solder them back on once you took them off. Which I dont have the tools to do. |
