A new style of heat transfer plate

Unknown

Heh, i guess if your plate can't hold the pipe tightly on its own, you'd need to do something like this, eh?

hr

has anybody seen this plate yet?

Saw Designs

I saw designs for this a long time ago and had heard that it was comming. I suspect that having only one path to the base plate creates a choke point and limits transfer as compared to plates with two paths. It just seems logical. It may prove to be insignificant or non existant but I'll have to run some FEA models to see. Maybe you can get the thermal camera out and run a little test?

Has anyone seen the "tube eventually walk out" of the extruded aluminum panels?

I got on a mailing list

From a close by out-of-state supplier and they had these plates listed. They look like Dales plates, only side hooked tubing instead of bottom hooked.

but what about the palm nailer

Seems like the only way you could get the tube in the groove would be to snap it in with your thumb and fingers. Forget that, any Solaroll vets out there with arthritic thumbs like mine?
