Heat Fan Solo 4
In a normal radiator, cold air is heated and released as warm air at the top. The warm air then rises, but is not properly distributed throughout the cold space. The Heat Fan is a solution to this problem, which ensures that the warm air is blown into the room and therefore it heats up faster in the room. You place the fans on the radiator and connect it to the mains power. The Heat Fan makes virtually no noise.
