Sounds like my 1500w heatgun is just under the required temperature.

Did an experiment mesured power consumption with a Kill A Watt gauge ,on a 1500 w heat gun/internal digital thermometer/ thermostat

maintain + - 5°f (2°c) 932°f (500°c)
max temp/ Max fan
warmup 1289w 11.08A
Maintain 932°f 1089w to 1289w cycletime ~ .5sec high ~ 1 sec. Low

Max temp/ Min fan
Warmup 1156w 10.98
Maintenance 771w to 1109w cycle time ~ .25 high ~ 1 - 2low

Fan only
57.8 watts .30A

add a few drops/min of diesel and you have a regen temperature without the engine running . Well under the max load for a standerd 110vac wall plug. Wether or not the CFM is within specifications to clear the ash without allowing it to become one with the ceramic. I dout it ... this could be run off a properly sized bank of suppercaps/supplemental Deep Cycle Battery to alow the regen to finish what it started.
