Metro Master Blaster

a customer of mine bought one and i tried it while detailing his car a couple days ago... im ordreing one, and i dont know why i didnt get this before!

 

I did some temp measurements of the Master Blaster with the results as follows:

Equipmemt:

1 cooking thermometer and held it by the head and not the stem.
1 8 HP Metro Master Blaster

Ambient 78 F (matched another thermometer)

4HP Mode
Exhaust outlet - 118 F
End of hose - 120 F

8HP mode
exhaust outlet - 133 F
End of hose - 139 F

The exhaust port has a 1-in outlet, the hose it closer to 1/2-in so that may explain the temp rise but I was thinking there would be more heat loss in the hose. I guess the air is moving fast enough to not get cooled very much.

The air was uncomfortable to hold at on 8HP mode once temp stabilized. If I redo it, I will try some fixture to hold the thermometer. It takes over a minute to start stabilizing.

Anyone want to do a similar test?

 

I agree Dom. I ordered one in for a client and tested it as per his request. I will be getting one soon as well.

 

wow, Ken, you are ordering one. Looks like I will order the air force blaster then.

 

I mine I have made my money very fast on it to.
