| Bill, thanks for the pics. I would be curious of the result. I have a temp probe down next to my cylinder heads which runs about 150 dF in flight so I'm guessing where those hoses go (went) is 100ish. With the insulation on them I wonder what temp rise the air would be (have been) seeing. On Sep 6, 2010, at 8:05 AM, billhogarty wrote:
When I attended
the
LOBO maintenance clinic hosted by Dave Saylor at his Aircrafters
Facility in Watsonville, CA some months back, I noticed an
interesting
modification that he had made to a IV-P he was working on.
Instead of routing the cabin air from the 3rd intercooler around
the
front of the engine over the right turbo on its way into the
cabin, he
had routed it up over the alternator, across the engine, and
directly
into the heat mixer box.
I thought that this simple mod might deliver cooler air into the
cabin
so during my current annual, I rerouted my cabin air ducting
and
included some photos of the result.
Comments welcome.
