REFLECTOR: Velocity heater

The family and I just flew back from FL to IL last night and about 
froze to death.  I am thinking about mounting an oil cooler somewhere, 
and recirculating cabin air through it with a small fan.  My thought is 
that recirculated 50 degree air moving slowly through the oil cooler 
will come out at a higher temp than -4 degree air blowing through at 
170 knots.  The heat just isn't adequate for OAT below 30-40, 
especially at night.

Has anyone else who has gone this route mind sharing their experience?

Thanks,

Dave Scharfenberg
