Very nice build. Thanks for sharing. The heat dispersent paint used on the radiator, any chance you remember the brand / type ? Posted From Tapatalk
If it matters. The color/paint used to increase radiation doesn't do anything. Now there is a paint that is designed to absorb longwave radiation and convert it to heat.....http://www.builditsolar.com/Experimental/PaintAbsorbancy/GlossvsFlat.htmIt performs almost as well as plain ole flat black
YepBruce the science guy:actually, there is a lot of reason not to paint it blackit should be running at around 350K. That makes its thermal emissionpeak at about 8.4 microns.this is mid infrared... so to enhance heat loss, it's fine to paint itwith somethng that has high emmisivity in the mid infra-red. You canbe fairly sure that black paint is not such a material. Neither isanodising but sandblasting may work well.
