I wonder how this product would sell today (Dan H.)

Ventilorad is not a very catchy name. Neither is Supplemental Baseboard Airflow Fan.

I ran a few ads in Solar Today, got hundreds of inquiries but not one order. They worked well in my solar baseboard retrofit systems, but they eliminate the perfect silence of hydronic baseboard.

Thankfully, my development cost was just a month of my own time for the tooling.

    Cool!

    I always like reading old brochures. Somehow I thought I had seen or heard of one of these radiator fans before.... I know that there were a few occasions where I could have used one of these!!! Thanks Dan

    Old new'spapers

    Dan, alot of the building's here in Portland have little treasures like this. The last renovation project we did off St. Johns st. I found news papers from 1925, in pretty good shape. If I find anything heating related I'll be sure to send it in.

    I saw a couple of these a long time ago

    In an older house in a very upscale neighborhood in Winchester Va. where I'm from. Obviously, I was very young at the time working as an apprentice for Dad. BTW Dan, thanks,and Happy Holidays to you and your family. Between this site, Radfest,and your seminar, I have learned and caught up a great deal this year!!

    Instant fan coil

    Here's a similar product I manufactured and marketed in 1983.

    It also failed because of a bad name.

    Bad name?

    What happened, Dave? It's an interesting product.

    I walked in a basement once........

    On a plumbing service call many years ago (before I had my digital cam) and found the handy homeowner closed off the bottom jacket of his boiler, hooked up a duct booster fan to the jacket, and turned the fan on whenever he wanted some more heat in his basement workshop......

    Add that to the heat extractor gizmo on the exhaust connection to the chimney and that will give you a small insight to how much this guy "messed" with in the house.

    Needless to say he did not appreciate my insisting that the exhaust pipe gizmo had to go before I left.
