ABS HEATER MATRIX CASE We've designed and produced this vacuum-formed, two part case for our heater matrix. The outlet side has two 38mm spigots and two 63mm spigots - all supplied capped so you can open any combination of them to suit your installation. The inlet side has one 75mm hose spigot for connecting to our fan with 75mm ducting. Simply cut the water inlet and outlet cut- aways on the side of your choice, wrap our #TRMR1 self- adhesive foam strip around the matrix sides and slide it all together. It takes just minutes. You can bond the two halves together with a few blobs of Polyurethane adhesive / sealant if you wish. Case size (excluding water inlet and outlet and air inlet and outlet spigots) 205mm x 156mm x 80mm. Weight of matrix and case (dry) 795gms. #HMCASE £25 (£30 inc vat)

HOW TO MAKE AN ALUMINIUM CASE
This example shows how to make a simple aluminium case for our own heater matrix but you can apply these basic instructions to any size and shape of box. If you're really into engineering you can refine the dimensions with bending allowances and material thickness allowances etc. But, using 1mm thick material this method will work fine. The first step is to measure your components and sketch out the shape and sizes of your box panels on paper. We chose a two-piece design for our box for ease of assembly of the matrix with it's angled inlet and outlet. If you're confident in your design you can transfer your dimensions directly to aluminium but I have never yet managed to get it right first time so I always make a cardboard mock-up first. Ideally the card should be the same thickness of your intended aluminium. Cut to the lines and score all the folds. You can even cut each side individually and tape them all together with masking tape. Or, if one dimension is wrong, cut off that panel and tape on a new one until you get it right. Here are my two pieces of card. The big hole was an abandoned attempt to try mount the fan directly to the box as a 'sucker'.
When you're happy that your mock-ups are OK then you can cut your aluminium sheet to the overall maximum sizes and mark out all the cuts and folds.
Here are our two pieces. I've dimensioned them and shaded the waste areas.
We've used a Powerfile to grind away the water pipe cut- aways and a hacksaw to cut the ends from the outlets.
