However, my thought for my IVP was that if there's plenty of flow, the = temp of the air coming out the top cannot be that much (10-20 dF?) = hotter than the ambient cabin temperature. I found that the volume of air moved varies greatly and that how that = varies as a function of back pressure also varies from fan to fan. I ended up with a pair of the xxx24h701's in my IVP. Can't give you = an operational report yet. Together I should get 40-50cfm out of them. = http://db.sanyodenki.co.jp/product_db/cooling/dcfan/group_pdf/1247015663.p= df Colyn On May 29, 2012, at 1:09 PM, Dan Ballin wrote: Anyone have experience thoughts on using a fan in the glare shield on a Legacy to cool the avionics. I am concerned about pulling air out towards the canopy and onto the plexiglass, but I believe this would result in better cooling. I do have a avionics fan, but it still gets mighty hot behind the panel. Thanks Dan Ballin N386DM -- For archives and unsub = http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
