Re: [FlyRotary] Heaters
Hi Ken,
While out at the hangar a gentleman by name of Scott
Creighton stopped by and chatted about rotary engines. I gathered that he
had talked with you - at least he knew of you. He is also building a Coot
with some interesting ideas involving belt drives. I told him to contact
you as you were the only one I was aware of having extensive experience with the
rotary and belt drives in aircraft
Best Regards
Ed

I think it would be way to heavy, and inefficient and not needed,
I use an oil cooler for the heater core which shouldn't have any problem with
the low water pressure and I have two shutoff valves to isolate it in the
event of problems.

Has anyone designed
a separate system that extracts heat from the engine compartment or
components to heat a fluid in a separate system using a heat exchanger to
dump the heat into the cabin and a separate pump? This way you are not
making this system part of the engine cooling system and can run lower
pressure and be able to shut it off without affecting the engine
system. I was thinking of a device that subarus had sandwitched
between the oil filter and the block. Any thoughts?
