    Ducted Heat Transfer System from Fireplace.

    Chicopee the floor was 81F and the ceiling was 71F. I was planning on using a metal vent for the duct intake and I was curious if the additional heat radiated by the heated metal of the duct would make a difference. Studying Social Science: Psyc major, Comms minor. Took a year off work, Film...

    Ducted Heat Transfer System from Fireplace.

    It is a fireplace insert. I don't think it has a hollow rack but it does have a fan with intakes underneath that blow air up the back, over the top and out the front of the firebox. @Compositepro you're right I'm trying to move heat from the room with the fireplace insert to the rest of the...

    Ducted Heat Transfer System from Fireplace.

    It's a Aranbe 220IB Convection wood heater so a hollow fireplace rack won't work for us unfortunately. Would a metal floor duct in front of the wood heater heat up enough through radiant transfer to heat up the air travelling past like a heated element to make underfloor heat transfer more...

    Ducted Heat Transfer System from Fireplace.

    I ran ducting and an inline fan through my house and tried a number of intake positions in the same room as a fireplace. I found the intake point for heat transfer was best on the ceiling directly in front of the fireplace. Yet when I tested the temperature with a Laser thermometer the timber...

    Thanks gruntguru these posts have been very informative and as usual have filled in the blanks for me. Unfortunately I'm not sure I will be able to get him to confirm much anymore. Thanks LionelHutz, I think you have gone strait to the point of the matter. I did hire him hoping to have my...

    I'm not sure if this makes it clearer this is the email I wrote and his reply. I kind of feel like we are talking about different things, I had a low oil light not a low pressure light. Hi ######. In the orders it states "Mr Expert Witness said when the oil light comes on, that tells you there...

    Thanks Gruntguru, I'm also happy to accept responsibility that it might of been me Miningman, there is always a possibility. I drove the car to work a few times hwy kms, I did 2000kms before I got it serviced and we set off. I didn't understand what the engineer meant when he said "Because the...

    I don't think that the dealer ran the oil level low, I thought I did that. What do you mean? I'm sorry I don't understand what the report means. Studying Social Science: Psyc major, Comms minor.

    Some follow up. As evidence I had a low oil level warning as my first symptom of dusting and he said in court. "Mr Expert Witness said when the oil light comes on, that tells you there is a problem with oil pressure, and he said it was 'correct' that upon an engine being dusted the light would...

    I spoke to the Expert Witness again and it turns out he thought the Judge was talking about a hypothetical oil light. Not the Low Oil Message that I saw on my dash that the Dealer was questioning. Maybe he was was speaking a little too matter of factly :) You can listen to the case and decide...

    Hi enginesrus I appreciate you mentioning this. Some other points are: should I have had it inspected? If the inspector missed the dusting I would have had no case against the dealer. In my situation low oil warning flashed on and when I googled it the issue it was common when towing but I...

    Hi enginesrus the engine was rebuilt before the court case. So the photos and report on the internals was supplied to the judge and respondent. No defence was made on condition of the engine, everyone agreed the engine was damaged by abrasive ingestion. Some tests were done before the case...

    Hi Gruntguru It was at least three litres because it's two litre's from the bottom of the line to the top and it was off the stick. Thanks for all your help I wish I'd had you at my case. [bigsmile] Studying Social Science: Psyc major, comms minor. Travelling full time around Australia with...

    Hi Michealwoodcoc This is a great post The report you linked to is great it said "In short, when fuel mixes with the lubricant, it reduces the viscosity of the oil, meaning that the viscosity may be too low to create an oil film capable of withstanding heavy loads and speeds in some parts of...

    Hi Ron Thanks for this it's well put. I've been asking him to "correct what may be a misunderstanding" but this is much more succinct. I have written this almost word for word in an email to him, thanks for your help. My proof is a the previous service mechanic going on record to say that the...
