REFLECTOR: Rear Seat Heat

Ken, I use 4' x 6' electric blankets that plug into 12 v cigarette
lighter sockets in the winter and remove in the summer.  Works well and
back seat passengers go to sleep anyway.  So they are snuggly.

   Thanks for your comments. That is a good was of getting a little more
heat out of the oil. Does anyone have a electric powered heater that
works maybe?

Hi Ken,

 

One option that someone had implemented was to open up the plenum which
the oil cooler lines run through and pick up that heat and allow it to
blow into the rear cabin. This would require that the vernertherm close
off and force oil through he cooler and the lines during the winter.  If
the cooling air to the engine isn't reduced during the winter flying,
then the oil won't get hot enough to do much cabin heating.  This could
be done by restricting the NACA scoops by reducing the inlet area.

 

I am planning to install outlet scoops just in front of the firewall to
gain some oil cooling from the oil lines for the summer months.  If you
calculate the surface area of the two 10' lines going through the
plenum, it is almost as much as the surface area of the oil cooler.

To All

   Does anyone have some sort of rear cabin heat working with a air
cooled engine?
