 |
|
I am not sure exactly where I should post this question…? I have a Continental IO-240 in my Experimental Vixen. I have the stainless steel heat cuff on the muffler to provide cabin heat. I want to disconnect the Scat tubing (inlet and outlet) and bypass the heat cuff completely. I will reroute and connect the Scat tubing. This will allow non heated air to flow through the heat/vent system to provide more cooling in the cockpit.
Will having the tubing disconnected create any strange heat issues? I really don’t think that it would…but would appreciate some feedback regarding this. Thanks!

Have a squint at one of the heat mixing boxes the spam cans have. They take two tubes of air from the front of the cowl, one to the heat muff one directly to the mixing box. A butterfly in the box allows cold air from the front of the cowl or heated air from the muff to enter the cabin.
