Radiator booster fan

The fan bar under the radiator draws cool air from the floor and blows it through the fins — the room warms up faster, and heat no longer pools under the windowsill. Power comes from 5 V USB: a charger or a power bank.

Versions and prices

Fixed price: printed in PETG, with 5 V fans, a thermal switch and a USB cable included; the charger or power bank is your own. Printed to order from 1 day and shipped by Nova Poshta across Ukraine.

How it works

The fans lie in the bar with their intakes facing down and blow upwards into the radiator fins. A thermal switch on the flow pipe turns them on once the radiator reaches 40 °C and off when it is cold. Power is 5 V USB only: there is no 220 V inside. On a power bank the fans keep working during power cuts while the radiators are still warm.

What it actually gives — honestly

By our estimate, the radiator delivers 15–25 % more heat into the room with water at 60/45 °C, based on a Lund University model. With hotter water the gain is smaller; with low-temperature heating it is larger. We do not promise savings on gas or bills: the fan adds no heat, it only moves the heat already in the radiator into the room faster.

The plastic never touches hot metal

A radiator reaches 60–80 °C, and PETG softens at around 70 °C, so no plastic part touches the metal. The bar sits in the coolest airflow in the room — under the radiator, with an 8–14 mm air gap. By calculation, with the bottom of the radiator at 80 °C the bar reaches 33 °C while the fans run, and 54 °C if they stop. In the magnet version only the steel magnets touch the radiator, and the hook sits in a silicone sleeve.

Which version to choose

  • Any radiator — “On feet”: touches nothing, the legs are matched to the height.
  • Floor cleaning or a robot vacuum under the radiator — “On magnets” (steel or cast iron) or on S-hooks (bimetal).
  • A type 11 radiator or a narrow alcove — “Slim”.
  • A long radiator of 1.2–2 m — the “Set”.
  • A short bimetal radiator with 4–6 sections — “Compact”.

Limitations

  • Neodymium magnets weaken if the bottom of the radiator is hotter than 75–80 °C. For a very hot radiator, choose the version on feet.
  • Use a certified charger, and keep the power bank on the floor to the side, not on the radiator.
  • Under a type 11 radiator a 120 mm fan is wider than the radiator — use the slim 80 mm bar.

FAQ

Will the room really warm up faster?

Yes: the fan pushes air through the fins, so the radiator gives off its heat faster. Our estimate is 15–25 % more heat with water at 60/45 °C; with hotter water the gain is smaller.

Will it save gas?

We do not promise savings. The fan adds no heat; it moves the heat already in the radiator into the room faster. You reach a comfortable temperature sooner.

What powers it?

5 V USB: any certified charger or power bank will do. The charger is your own; the USB cable and splitter are included.

Won’t the radiator melt the plastic?

No: the plastic does not touch the radiator, with an 8–14 mm gap. While the fans run the bar reaches about 33 °C, and PETG only softens at around 70 °C.

Which radiators does it fit?

Panel, cast-iron and bimetal radiators. For a type 11 radiator use the slim bar, for a long one the set, for a short bimetal one the compact.

What is included?

The printed bar with feet or hooks, 5 V fans, a thermal switch with a pipe clamp, a USB cable and a splitter.
