generic/aftermarket hx's?

[Hack Attack]

Read some old threads about blue baron, considering they are still going have they got through what looked like possibly a rough patch?

any other aftermarket makers worth looking at?

Im considering a winter time project with a 20hp engine

Craftsmen get better with time.

So do con artists.

Not only do you need the hx but you also need the control system to regulate the heat. You will need a bypass if you do flood work.

Be very careful with how you regulate heat in any hand crafted truck mount you may make.

If you don't have a reliable method of bypassing excess heat, the steam build up in a heat exchanger can create a dangerous explosion (and its happened).

My guess is you've thought of this though.

Not something to go cheap on.


I'd find an old big name unit and pilfer it off of it

Just sure it comes with a blow off valve

Would using a water heater blow off valve work?

thats pretty much all the little giants have as backup to the thermostat

As long as its the right temperature and pressure.

If I can find a hx I'd put a LG relief on as a minimium, still weighing up pros and cons of buying another TM and just putting my predator into a trailer

I've got several regular apartments that my high roof transit can't get into the parking area at back. But a trailer unit could.
And its a pain waiting for that 1 parking space outside that apartment on the street to run hose up the outside... and it always goes down a treat with the cafes and restaurants ground level lol
