What is it's maximum operating temperature? I have an automotive repair and it will get pretty hot. If not, is there an alternate?

The pot I repaired had been used several times for baking in an oven with 450 degree or higher temps. It has been used numerous times to boil water for canning (Can you guess it is my favorite pot) and is still going strong. I believe in the permatex liquid metal and would recommend it for any metal repair.

The package does not say so I would NOT use it for high heat applications for that reason. If it cannot be welded (best choice) use JB WELD or similar 2-part epoxy as they can be used on engines.

Have not had an overheating issue. Can turn on turbo fan if you do. I use mine for automotive test equipment so it sits on cooler metal cart tops or travels with me and is used on auto floors, dashes, seats, and fenders. Probably the time in service is much shorter than gaming is for you.

Well, I can;t say that I've noticed any heat generated by it whatsoever. If I had to guess, I'd say it pretty much remains at ambient temperature. If you mean what temperatures can it operate in, I have mine installed on the exterior of my house in Reno, NV. Temperatures range from -20F to 110F. I'd say it will operate in most conditions. The important thing is to install it where it is protected from direct rain and sun (under an eave). Even so, and especially if it does get direct rain, make sure and use clear water soluble exterior caulking around the screws that fasten the top of the unit. Just swab the caulking around each screw prior to threading it into the hole. This should make sure any water or humidity stays outside of the unit.

This motor has a thermal cutoff switch if safety temperature is exceeded. Not sure how long and under what conditions you are running the motor?

I would like to give you some input but just brought it out to the shop to test. i had purchased other pumps that claim to be high temp but failed within hours and in cold water. My desirefor this pump is to circulate water or coolent exchange for winter water heating and space heating. Looking at this pump with x-ray eyes has determined that the configuration is much like oil pumps in the industry. First seen it on the old VW's. Looks reliable so long as the motor is bearinged and not bushinged. Mark

Exact temperature, I don't know, but it did it very hot on high and I would have to turn it down. I love this product though. It was a lifesaver as I recuperated from my rotator cuff surgery.

According to the most popular review, "The heater takes but 25 seconds to get up to it maximum operating temperature of 313 degrees F and the back side is roughly 90 degrees F on the silicon side." Most newer plastics can handle temperatures in that range, especially thicker ones designed to hold petroleum-based, 200 degree F engine oil. I would probably give it a shot, but it's up to your discretion. If you do choose to try it out, it would be a good idea to watch it for awhile and make sure it doesn't melt anything.

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

I have had mine for over 8 months now. The only problem I ever have is with it over heating in my parked car. But at my job I'm forced to park in the sun and I live in central Florida. Our heat index yesterday was over 100f. I can only imagine how hot it gets in a parked car with the windows shut from 530am to 300pm. It overwrites files automatically in the order of the oldest to the newest. I leave mine in live recording mode 24/7. I have many emergency lights in my vehicle so I have a deep cycle battery for my accessories. So I never worry about it draining my battery.

Have no idea, but mine is operating under the front seat of our old Honda and has never felt hot. Hope this is of some help

While I can't directly answer the operating temperature range, I can say that I have mine mounted in the dash, and it's weathered a 110 degree summer and below 0 winter. Almost a year in and it's still working like a charm.

The unit has an automatic shutoff that can be set for various temperatures. I have set it to "maximum" and, although the shutoff temperature is not specified, based on my experience it must be well above 80. I don't know, however, what temperature it will not heat above.

I left it in my car (I live in florida) and it was at least 105°. A week later, I used to put out an engine fire. I think it depends on the duration.

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.

I use on all of my vehicles,( -10° to -40° temps )these: battery wrap, water hose warmer (warm heater air right away), oil pan warmer (magnetic)(crank over right away). I have both gas and diesel vehicles. So it just depends on what u want/need. Warming pad warms top of engine so probably works on battery and some on radiator and water in top of block area, doubt oil (bottom of engine)

I live in Florida and the cars get hot. I haven't had any issues but it is an interesting question and I will have to look through the manual if there are any warnings about temperatures but I think these kind of machines are built to be used under extreme circumstances.

I got the 150 watt model like this and placed it on thin steel plate (with intent of bolting that up to a small engine that doesn't have a good surface). Without it bolted up to the engine, the plate temp was 140 degrees after 1 minute, then ~200 after another minute and I pulled the plug then. After letting it cool enough to handle it I bolted it up to the small engine. To begin with the engine temp was 42 degrees and after having it plugged in for 10 minutes the oil sump area of the engine was at ~65 degrees. I've not tried going overnight, but seeing the temp go to 200+ does show the possibility of how hot it could get (and one guy in a review of one of these says "unsafe in any application...cuz has no temp regulation..."). Of course other considerations include how cold is it for you (are you in a north state like Minnesota?) and where are you placing it (on an oil pan where you're just heating the oil or on a car engine block that's real thick). I may try a test of leaving mine on the small engine for at least an hour to see how hot it gets (both near the base where it is and near the top of the engine) and will add a post if I do.
