Hey guys! I recently acquired two Modine Hydronic Heaters from work that they were just going to throw away. What is wrong with them?!?

I have an outdoor wood burner at home and was hoping to hook these two units up in my garage wich is a 36x45 well insulated pole barn with a concrete slab.

I am hoping that they will work but I really have no clue as to what they are capable of putting out as far as BTU's go. The heat exchanger on them is around 12x12 inches. I am hoping that one of you has some sort of idea about what kind of heat they will put off. I was thinking somewhere in the area of 25-30K BTU's each? If it helps, I usually run my boiler between 170-180 degrees. Here are some pictures, thank you!

Can't quite make out the numbers, but you should be able to find the data on Modine's web page.

Your handle on here gives me a pause each time you post. Steel Horse Harley Davidson is in Chesterfield, my HOG group.

Says HS47S, which google says translates into 47000 BTU's according to Modine's model numbering system.

That's funny, I just always called motorcycles steel horses and I just happen to be a Harley freak.

I just got off of the phone with Modine. They told me at 180 degrees they will put out 26,480 BTU and at 170 they will put out 24,087. I think I'll give them a shot!
