There is plenty of info on here about espar installs and behavior, but I have yet to see an exact (or close too) temp it will rise coolant.

What I need is for it raise the temp above 150 before start, otherwise it's not worth my money.

Any response is much appreciated!

You have left too many variables to get a quantitative response. You need to set a time and an outside temp and whether there is any wind. An espar should be able to do what you are asking, the question is how long it will take. I wish that I could give you a better answer but more info is required.

Ask and you shall receive.

Outside temp of 30 degrees or more. Minimal wind. 60 minutes would be the preferred max run time.

Your time is much appreciated.

I don't usually use it until its below 30F but I think it would be a little less than 60 minutes and it will reach 150 and beyond. Mine goes from high rate to low rate in about 20 minutes at that outside temp. If its above 30F it would shut off and go to standby in 60 minutes so it has reached 70C (160F) or better.

Lil Dog, thank you much, That's just what I wanted to hear. Being in the South East US, I don't have to worry about the fridged cold you endure and I'm quite happy about that.

I need the hear early for other reason.

Thanks again for your time and reply. I can't believe there is not some graph somewhere on the web that gives an estimate of coolant temp.

It would depend on how much coolant is in the system, and the kit I have is a universal install kit, so it would be hard for Espar to estimate such.

Anyhow, in weather you are talking about, it would probably reach around 160F in that time. The heater will get my temps up to 190F, and then the thermostat begins to open. Thats usually after 90 min in warmish weather though.
