Hi Gents,
Hopefully a quick question for those more knowledgable than I.
Not sure if this is the correct section but it seemed the closest.
Recently built a heater guard for my 18month old. Well I designed it, old man built it.
Really simple but there wasn't one that was the right size and so forth on the market.
Just essentially RHS with mesh welded to it.
Was very suprised to find out that localised to the mesh directly in front of the heater got exceptionally hot.
Mind you we'd allowed for some distance (around 50cm). Still damned hot.
It's a one of those convective gas heaters - so only hot air coming out too.
Thought is does anyone know of a good coating (paint or some such) to put on it that would stop the mesh getting so hot?
Or any other thoughts?
I'd expected that the heat would have been conducted up through the mesh to the main frame and therefore the whole thing would have got warm.
Didn't expect the 10cm wide section of mesh to get really hot and the rest to stay cold at all.
Any thoughts?
Warwick
