Hey Kelley;
We are going with a small heater from J.C.
Whitney, (Product Number: 12903G, or 1JA 943018, whichever fits)
because they have defroster as well as regular forced
air. They are also small enough to go in the front of our
avionics shelf, right up next to the firewall, so easy plumbing, 140 CFM,
12,000BTU's. We will put a valve on both ends, in case of leaks
though. Not a good idea to have coolant running around the cockpit at 15K
feet, that's why we ran ALL plumbing outside of the
fuselage.

Joe,
Opinions express in earlier posts on this subject seem
to suggest that using the engine coolant
for cabin heat would be much more efficient......................Perhaps
the experts of the list will chime
in on the technical details as to why................

heat
Has anyone tried a oil to water heat exchager on a seperate
loop with an electric pump and a heat exchanger to provide cabin
heat? If the system leaked it could be shut down and not affect the
cooling system. Thanks for any input Joe Berki Limo
