Bryan:
I know what you mean about the cold rear seat
temperatures in the IV-P. A friend of mine, Dennis Pratt, has an early
serial number and I always blamed the cold temps in his cabin on the
leakage from his cabin, but sounds like that might not be the only cause for the
cold temps.
The reason I was asking George the "approximate"
discharge air temperature of the turbo is because after talking with Charlie
Kohler, we decided to make a large box to receive the air coming into
the cabin via the mixer valve so the air velocity had an opportunity to slow
down and hopefully decrease the noise that normally comes from the valve
presently used. Plus, it will give us more room at the back of the radio
stack. Looks like I can make this box approximately 12" long x 5-1/2"
high X 2-7/8" deep and fit in the area we have available
We want to make the box out of 2 bid
prepreg honeycomb material, as well as the flapper for floor / defrost
deflection - IF the temperatures aren't too
hot for the honeycomb material. I just don't know, so I thought the group
might be able to help.
