Yourbad nightmare: Thanks for the "seat of the pants" engineering, but this isn't car exhaust. The air exiting the heater is moving at 3 meters/second so there is absolutely no mixing. We've done not only the theoretical work, but smoke testing as well. Having the intake and exhaust together means only a single hole through the wall, and you can mount the heater with the fan on the bottom. Problem solved. Thanks for the comments.
Having the intake and outlet next to each other even with louvers facing the opposite directions would lead to a lot of cross circulation. This doesn't seem like a great idea. The intake and exhaust of a car are never together. Also the intake should be drawing in and heating the coldest air which is near the floor not near the ceiling. Poor engineering and design.
Thank you. I'm just so impressed with how these things heat. This unit is installed in my home and today it's -22 C (-8 F) and I shut down the furnace when its on. The back bedrooms cool off but the unit will basically heat the house for 5-6 hours. My house is 1,700 sq. ft.
