if you can put in a simple ceiling fan (turning slow) to de-stratify the air it will help a bunch with any heat source you choose.
I have two small a$$ fans...

Put them on low speed and tape the switch in the ON position for winter and if you can feel the hair you used to have moving turn one off.I have two small a$$ fans...

6 kw is 20,473 BTU
Well heck, image attachments didn't post.
Thanks. cubscout
Nope, BTU/hour and watts are both power, i.e. rate of energy transfer - one in British and the other in metric (SI) units. How 'bout calories per week?Curious about the forumla, it would seem that forced air, proximity, reflectors, etc would change the BTU output.
It can only makes so much heat for the energy consumed.Curious about the forumla, it would seem that forced air, proximity, reflectors, etc would change the BTU output.
Nothing fancy but it is insulated. This will be just to keep the chill out of the air.

Can't beat spray foam, for both r value per inch and for airtightness, nothing comes close. I have a flying buddy who's family has been in the business for 40-50 years. Spud cellars, hangars, you name it. When I built my shop and attached hangar (conventional framing) I had him spray my HydroSwing doors. The saying "insulation doesn't cost, it pays," is oh so true.
Warm air rises and if there is no air movement the heat will stratify. Very slight air movement is what you want, according to the materials that came with my Big Ass fan you should just be able to barley feel the air moving on your arm hair (which for me is about 33-35% on the speed controller, vs 90% for summer which makes quite a breeze).Does your hangar currently stratify by temp floor to ceiling? If it's not much - a few degrees - then moving air too much can cool it down via surface contact especially with the floor if it's uninsulated.

Law of conservation of energy means KW to BTU conversion is a fixed thing, thus a standard formula.Curious about the forumla, it would seem that forced air, proximity, reflectors, etc would change the BTU output.

I should have mentioned... it's not really a rest "room".... (quite an artsy photo with the handsome guy in the mirror, eh? :roll: )

Yeah, it's a LOT nicer then the old Gatorade bottle in my hangar...put a cot in the corner and I'd call in home

Well, since I personally think Gatorade tastes pretty much like what I'm putting in that bottle, it's not an issue for me – not interested in drinking either one! But I do like the large mouth on the bottle, and given that it's an "orange" Gatorade bottle, it's a bit better "camouflaged" if I need to carry it into an FBO... LOLI've learned not to use that sort of container. Old acetone bottle for me to prevent mistakes....
