Cold morning warm days. Fall in Texas. Pulled into work one morning and pulled my jacket out of the rear trunk. WoW. It was toasty warm in the trunk and got me to thinking.
It's just the largest Heat Exchanger you can ask for. What about running a hose with a small inline fan through the targa clip cups down to the cabin heat inlet and pulling heat from the rear trunk and into the cabin?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Your ideas on how to make this work please. |

QUOTE(wildman @ Oct 21 2012, 07:26 AM)  I agree it probably isn't terribly efficient, and you would also need to be concerned about carbon monoxide probably. I don't know about you but my rear trunk isnt air tight. any teener needs to be concerned about that. those heat exchangers are wrapped around exhaust pipes. I posted this before but any pilot shop, Aircraft Spruce, etc., sell a carbon monoxide stick-on monitor for less than $15. our cars are not well sealed and that probably works in our favor. if mine were a DD in a cold climate I would have a detector on my dash. smart pilots fly with a detector. it's a sneaky killer. |
