Just run the regular thermostat. I regularly drive the car with the
temperature in the teens and am comfortable. It might be a different story
when it is below zero.
Haven't noticed a big change in the engine running temperature.
I bought smooth defroster hoses from McMaster Carr thinking that it
would aid in airflow to the defroster vents. The Maradyne heater has
closeable flaps that should force the air through the defroster vents. Alas,
it is not so. Not sure why. I have considered rigging a 12 volt hair dryer
to the defroster vent to defrost the windscreen.
And Randall, my bro-in-law lives in Wasseon, Ohio and I had to go to
Whitehouse to eat steaks at the Whitehouse Inn last summer. We also went to
Grand Rapids to look at the water (a fantasy come true for a Californian).
Later we bought about $500 in fireworks and let all of our pyromaniac
fantasies come true, another treat for a family whose state is always
catching fire.

Hi Bill,
Wow, I am very impressed how well the Maradyne has worked for you. I have
not driven the TR3 much at all once temps are below40F as it's not all that
comfortable. That Maradyne 25,000 BTU heater may change all that.
Since it's cold enough to snow at your place, like here, that Maradyne's
25,000 Btu's is about 5 times more than the stock heater so I am wondering
if you have noticed any change in engine operating temperature when the
heater is at full output.
Do you need to install a higher temp engine thermostat for winter use?

Hi Randall,
Yes, I mounted the larger heater (25,000 BTUs) and it fit fine. It is
almost the same size as the smaller heater but has a more powerful fan and
larger heater core. It puts out a lot of heat. It snows where I live and it
keeps me comfortable regardless of the outside temperature.
If you need more information, just ask.
I rebuilt my TR3 engine and transmission 2 years ago and didn't
re-install the heater until yesterday. My Honda died and I have been driving
a 1952 Triumph Renown until I get the heater working in the TR3 and then the
TR3 will be my work car until I get another "real" car. Once I had to use my
TR3 as my work car for 2 years!

Hi Bill,
Thank you for sharing your results with the Maradyne heater. I very much
like the way you mounted your Maradyne. I have flushed out the stock TR3A
greater and it is working about as well as expected. I believe the stock
TR3A heater is rated at very close to a 5000 BTU output. Maybe it was
intended to be a bit of a mental deception in that feeling the modest output
of slightly warm air with your frozen finger tips would have you believe you
were warmer than you really were.
Triumph did offer a very rare option in heaters for far northern climates
but I have never been able to find one.
Anyway, I am curious which of the two Maradyne heaters you used. There are
some dimensional differences between the two in the link you very kindly
shared. The smaller one is rated at 12,000 BTU's with the slightly larger
one rated at 25,000 BTU's, more than double the output for a modest increase
in size.
Hoping you might have time for a reply.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Randall Reihing

Maradynes are aftermarket heaters designed for farm tractors or maybe
a pickup truck. They almost slide straight in to where the original TR3
heater was.
To make the Maradyne fit the TR3 better you need to disassemble it and
reverse the heater core so the intake/exhaust is on the front of the heater
and not the back. This way you can mount it flush against the battery box. I
also cut out a notch to better clear the TR3 choke cable. Make the notch a
lot bigger than you think it should be to avoid the choke cable having to
bend. I used copper plumbing fittings from Lowes to reduce the fittings down
to 3/8" rigid copper pipe which has a 0.5" OD to fit the TR3 heater hoses.
I have seen Maradynes mounted to the trans tunnel, but I don't like the
look.
I mounted my Maradyne to the back of the battery box using #10 SS sheet
metal screws. I held it in place using double-sided tape while I was
drilling the holes. I lined the bottom of the Maradyne even with the bottom
of the battery box. You can barely see it under the dash. You can paint or
upholster the heater to match your interior.
The Maradyne seems to put out about 2 or 3 times as much heat as the
original TR3 heater. Even with smooth defroster hoses I barely can get an
ants fart to come out the defroster vents.

They have two sizes of heaters. I would try to put in the bigger one
(25,000 BTU) if possible.
Good luck!

Bill;
Don't know the answer to your question but where does one get a Maradyne
heater for their TR3? Do you know a part number? I've had my radiator
cleaned and rebuilt but the heater core is in rough shape....
Thanks!!

The heater core in my Triumph Renown is leaking. Does anyone know of a
rebuilder for TR3-type Smiths heaters? I would go with a Maradyne heater
like I have in my TR3, but it is very visible in the Renown and wouldn't
look right.
TIA,

Thank you for sharing your results with the Maradyne heater. I very much =
like the way you mounted your Maradyne. I have flushed out the stock =
TR3A greater and it is working about as well as expected. I believe =
the stock TR3A heater is rated at very close to a 5000 BTU =
output. Maybe it was intended to be a bit of a mental deception in =
that feeling the modest output of slightly warm air with your =
frozen finger tips would have you believe you were warmer than =
you really were.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p =

Anyway, I am curious which of the two Maradyne heaters you used. There =
are some dimensional differences between the two in the link you =
very kindly shared. The smaller one is rated at 12,000 BTU's with =
the slightly larger one rated at 25,000 BTU's, more than double the =
output for a modest increase in size. =
