The paper from Warterloo University did a lot of temperature measurements and no one believed them. Whilst this thread is full of nonsense (just like the OP) and long may it continue?, have a look at the 'serious' thread that was running at the same time which showed, on our boat at least, the baby equaliser (other fans are available) actually did make a significant difference by moving air around (slowly).

He's far more valuable than that. He helped solve the 'does it work' conundrum on ecofans (other fans are available) so we will have to put a 'reserve' price on him.....if we ever get Auntie Rainwater to put toether a decent invitation to bid with an accurate specification.

ditchcrawler Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) As this tread seems to have gone to sleep after only 1083 posts I thought I would report on this double headed model for twice the air movement, it males the Lidl one look expensive https://www.domu.co.uk/vonhaus-double-stove-fan There is also an osculating one https://www.domu.co.uk/vonhaus-oscillating-stove-fan?refSrc=3194&nosto=nosto-page-product1 Edited November 19, 2018 by ditchcrawler Add the second fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenK Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I bought one from Aldi for £12.00, it sits on top of a Lockgate Reflex diesel stove and there is no doubt it does make a difference. I mounted a thermocouple about twenty feet from the stove and checked the temperature every half hour, yes I know but there was nothing on the TV and the weather was foul. The temperature readings stabilised after two / three hours, then I put the fan on the stove and the temperature rose by roughly three degrees over the next hour. I wouldn't pay the silly prices for an Eco fan but for £12.00 it was a good buy. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecofans are the reason that the boat safety scheme includes a requirement for the stove to be bolted down to the floor. Stops them being blown over by the thrust from the fan on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has been knocked off the top of the stove so many times, I'm amazed it's kicked into action. But it's spinning away like a good un at the moment.

Whatever happens dont get your arm or fingers anywhere near the blades as they will amputate the limb!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
