Paint the silver matte black, you are losing a lot there.

Doesn’t matter if horizontal or vertical. As long the heat exchange within the tube is assured. And to me it is as the shell is not straight but folded and therefore creates turbulence airflow. Mizing the air during the pass is the key!!!

I agree, horizontal would not violate the ‘hot air rises’ principle, which i am guessing is the reason the intake is at the bottom and the output is at the top, with configuration viewed as is the hot air has to be forced down then up then down etc, horizontal configuration would lend itself to a more natural airflow.

The result would be better if the hose was aligned horizotal an not vertical.

LMAO@ taxing sunlight…next thing they will do is tax the air. “Hey you! You’re breathing too much air! Stop breathing right now till you pay up!” ROFL

by taxing CO2 emissions(carbon tax) the UN has effectively made breathing pollution!! lol! thanks to Mr Gore and his company that trades in carbon tax credits we’ll be greenhouse gas free!!! hahaha!!

It looks professional, thank you for sharing.
If you have the air intake from inside the room that is to be heated, then the inlet temperature is higher and may result in a higher outlet temp.
Just thinking aloud.

HI
Can you test you heater with CO2 gas inside the box and post the results, but CO2 should not leak with room air.
