Aren't you the guy that built a data logger? This would be a perfect application for it.
And, I think that a
thermistor just hanging in the air stream would be great. Thermistors are pretty quick to respond and most of them have a midrange close to the temperatures you're working with.
You're going to have to do some research to be able to calculate efficiency, but with a data logger and thermistor, you could at least rank various test configurations. That would be pretty useful in itself.
I'm trying to build a hydronic floor that doesn't weigh a ton (literally), and I tried testing several different materials using a data logger and a ranking scheme, and I really learned a lot. I'm still not ready to build, but I know what NOT to build.
