I'm still plotting a heat scheme. I really want to have heat/defrosters in my 3.6 conversion. I've entertained the idea of a gas heater, which would probably work fine. I've also considered trying to get something to work off of the oil cooler. Now, I was just looking at the Elephant racing finned oil lines and thought hey, maybe I could route finned oil lines through the old heater passages (solves oil line routing to front cooler) and still fan force air through the passages and derive heat from the finned lines. I would have to come up with a way to port the lines into the ducts and out while still keeping the ducts semi-sealed. This doesn't seem insurmountable.
For all you thermodynamists out there, would this work for heat?? |

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm trying to equate an oil cooler to a heater core. Simplistically, I would think heater core 200 degree water/oil cooler 180/190 degree oil?? Of course, in my aircraft in the oil barely ever gets to 160 in the winter, so maybe it won't work. What kind of oil temps are you guys running vs air temps??
I always wondered how effective "Mountain 914s" oil cooler in the fresh airbox worked (pic below). Those of you who know the car (yellow custom flared/tan leather teener) have probably seen his install and I've always wondered how well it worked for heat/defrost. I guess with his car (3.0) the cooler is only supplementing the stocker? I don't think this size/location would work w/a 3.6. Attached image(s) |
