I want to fit a header on my 914, and am looking into heating options. I could fit a tangerine heat exchanger or alternatively fit an eberspacher heater in the front. I would remove all the the piping in the cabin, install the heater in the front. The unit has an internal fan, so the original blower could be removed and the gas heater be installed in it's place, with the output pipes going to the air controllers on either side. The dash controls would then direct the hot air either up or down, and I'm sure the fan controller on the dash wiring could be modified to turn the heater on and off.
I'm not concerned about having cold air blown through the vents - if I want fresh air I open the window! So does anyone know what the airflow is like out of the eberspacher? Would I need a seperate fan to increase airflow sufficiently? Has anyone installed one in a 914 before?? |

Has anyone here ever tried using one of these as a heat exchanger replacement?
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppa...rsheatmuffs.php I used one on my plane and it was great. I think the EGT's between a Lycoming and our engines would be comparable. In lower Slobovia you might install 1 on each side. BTW you can make your own out of an old butane or mapp gas canister. I made one but opted for the lighter weight aluminum model. You can add some small chain or wire rope around the exhaust pipe then clamp the heater box over the chain. This adds mass and will somewhat compensate for temperature variations as a result of deviations in power settings. i.e. cruise vs. coasting. As far getting heat to the front fan unit, has anyone tried using a cheap 12v ceramic heater for this? I see your in the UK.
