This radiator fan is designed for standard 120mm fans. Downloadable mounting plates facilitate construction of a radiator booster/fan for Type 22 and Type 33 radiators. Employing a heat pump enabled a significant reduction in my heating curve. Attachment is achieved using ø8x3mm neodymium magnets; a minimum of six, though up to ten, are recommended per fan. Testing encompassed two distinct fans. The Arctic P12 models operated pleasingly quietly at 5-6V. However, supplementary decoupling via rubber grommets is advised to mitigate noise transmission to the radiator. Fan control is managed via Home Assistant and a Shelly Plug S—automatically engaging when the flow surpasses a predefined threshold and disengaging when it falls below.

Approximately two to three fans are required for 80cm radiators; three are necessary for 100cm radiators.

This radiator fan is designed for standard 120mm fans. You can download the mounting plates for building a radiator booster/fan for type 22 and type 33 radiators. I heat with a heat pump and was able to reduce my heating curve considerably. The fans are attached with neodymium magnets ø8x3mm. At least 6 neodymium magnets with ø8x3mm are required per fan - you can also fit 10 per fan. I tested two different fans. The Arctic P12 fans were pleasantly quiet at a voltage of 5-6V. However, you should also decouple the fans with rubber pins as otherwise more noise will be transmitted to the radiator. I control the fans via Homeassistant using a Shelly Plug S (automatically on when the flow exceeds a certain threshold and off when the flow falls below a threshold).
For 80cm radiators you need approx. 2-3 fans. For 100cm radiators you need 3 fans.
