Fan to Circulate the Heat

Wave 8 Catalytic Heater
by Olympic

Created 12/11/2010

In December of 2010 I added a fan to circulate the air over our cat heater. Circulating air over the top of the heater improves the time to warm things up in the morning.  Noise was a big issue and I had looked for a fan for the last couple of years.  A computer cooling fan was the final solution.  These fans are 12 volt so the installation was rather easy.

 
   
 
   
   
I used Kreg pocket screw jig to attach the fan mounting plate to the support bar.

 
   
The mounting platform extends over the edge of the cat heater so I used pin to keep the platform from tipping and falling off.  See the colored arrow in the above picture.

 
I taped into the ceiling light for 12 volt power.
