Hi guys,
I'm looking for a best installation of a coolant heater for the cabin.
My heat muff works o.k. down to freezing, but I'm looking at components
that might offer better cabin warming. Perhaps you Canadians have
a list of parts that better describes what you used and
how you made connections within the cabin.
Even pictures would be nice.
Thanks

Larry, I'm working on a liquid cooled engine also and am curious as to why you
don't pipe warm radiator air through the floor of the cockpit?

Hey Larry,
We have a heater box with a core in it. It's attached to the outside of the
left lower firewall. Dennis made it from 4130 sheet steel .025 of there
abouts. We then drilled holes in the firewall and devised a bottom door
that shuts the heater off in the summer and lets air in the winter. Ask
Dennis. I think he has pics. If not I'll take some and send them to you.

If you are going to use exhaust air from the regular radiator, you would have to
make sure that only fresh air was coming in to the radiator. With the radiator
mounted below the belly, as most are, you would get a lot of air from the engine
compartment passing through the radiator and possibly even engine exhaust
gasses.
Better to use a separate heater core. The bypass hose is a convenient source for
heater flow. My setup just recirculates the cabin air through the heater, I
get enough fresh air leaking in from the aft fuselage through the rudder cable
tunnel. Air leaks out through the gap below the canopy frame.
