in THE MAIN WALL
in the shop today. I'm working up some real time demos for my "Plate Debate" RPA presentation. Amazing how quickly the plates warm with the copper, from 62F to 130F in seconds!

    Was in Springfield

    on business over the weekend. Wanted to look you up Sunday but had to rush out early before the big snow. Looks like it would have been a good time to come by.

    Snow was about an hour behind me. Are you dug out yet?

    Delta T

    If that comes out anything like mine you'll likely find that as long as there is some decent mass (like plywood, cement board, tile) you can run a whopper of a delta t (relatively low flow) but the radiant surface won't vary NEARLY as much in temperature.

    If you test insulated/uninsulated and high load (exposed)/low load (internal) be prepared for some surprises.
