REFLECTOR: Cabin Heat

[Mark Magee]

Ruben,
I would like to piggy-back on your question and add this one: Where (by design or not), is the pressurized heated air from the front cooler/NACA scoop exiting the cabin? Is it going out via the door seals (my guess)? I can't see any designed way out for the pressurized air from either cabin heat or overhead cooling vents. Methinks that air pressurized for heating the cabin is better than recirculated air as it floods any possible air leaks into the cabin with the heated air. However as there is no designed vent or dump of the pressurized air, is this situation best for our door seals and/or where ever else the pressurized air exits the cabin.
Not trying to be picky here, but would the cabin heater be more effective if we told it where to exit the cabin rather than it oozing out any air gap it can find? Just asking.

I heard some of you partially cover the cooler, but not sure if the can be risky if covered too much. Has any one had any experience trying to get more cabin heat?
