Maybe you didn't read the instructions or you didn't get any. The deal with these fans is you need a hot side and a cold side. Your placement of the fans right up next to the chimney was improper. Proper placement would be facing from the BACK of the furnace (cold) away from the chimney, facing toward the area being heated (front/hot). You may want to make another video using THAT placement, as it will be more beneficial to all involved. The fact that these are made for wood burning stoves. Stand alone, away from the wall type of stove, with a hot side and a cooler side, and not a furnace. Do a search on how these actually work.
Hi thanks for checking out my video! *I think the Galafire did have instructions, but if you cant tell by the video i only had one place to put them on that particular furnace.* the current stove I have it on now is a small country hearth wood burning stove and the one fan still excels to this day, in fact, the Galafire is the only fan that works anymore. The Youlanda fan stopped working not too long after having it on top of the new wood-burning stove that I installed. The purpose of my video was really just to compare the two brands/fans and see how they worked. If you ever plan on buying one id recommend you consider the Galafire brand over the other. Going forward ill be sure to place it near the back of the stove when it's in use!! Thanks again!!
not to downplay your test results but those pelt chips work by heat on one side and cooler on the other side, you keep pushing the others cooling fins as close as possible to the chimney which is going to keep those cooling fins to hot and making it less efficient
That is true however there was Very Very minimal difference in temperature at the fins from that little space that it was moved, i have since installed a wood burning fireplace and that one fan in the video that is performing weaker just isnt that great or was defective. The Galafire fan worked better.
This video was a waste of time. Then I notice a 516 area code on the furnace. Ah, this guy is way south of me. It doesn't get that cold down in New York. Greetings from Northern New Hampshire.
@@confactor18 Be a man? Cold ain't 35 bro. You city folk would never survive here. 3 hours North of Boston an hour from Coaticook, QUE. And you were saying something about being cold?
@@scottleppard288 LMAO clearly you country blumpkins are much different from us city folk! Good luck to you Suzy Q I look forward to seeing you post some videos!
Hi Michael!! So i actually got these in anticipation of my wood burning stove install. I literally just finished the fireplace install last week and i popped these babies out to put on top of the fire place and they are still working really great!! Couple things, if you are asking if you can set the fan down on the hearth stone, meaning the stone that the fireplace sits on, i would assume it would not get hot enough for the fan to get moving. You should check out the amazon page for the fan you are looking at, they will have details regarding the minimum temperature needed to get the fan started, called the running temp.. I would refer to that number and either buy and return an infrared laser temp. scanner to see if its hot enough for the fan to operate. Or take a gamble and order one, worse comes to worse it doesnt work and you just return it! Hope that helped, good luck!
Bu videoda iki hayranı karşılaştırdım. Hayranlardan biri çöp ve artık çalışmıyor, youlanda markası çalışmayı bıraktı. Şimdi kendim için tek bir hayranım var ve onu seviyorum, bu yüzden onu satamam Üzgünüm. özür dilerim bu mesaj net değilse, tercüman kullanıyorum.
The fan pushes hot air that is coming off of the stove and moves it across the stove/room. its not a strong fan like one that you'd plug into a wall but does move air. when testing in the video its worth to note that the fan was operating at a minimum/start temperature. if i was able to get the surface of the oil burner to an optimum running temp for the fan between 300-500 degrees it would be spinning a lot faster and moving a lot more air. Thanks for commenting!
