Another way is to route fresh cold air from the front of the cowl back
to the firewall/cockpit using the very lightweight corrugated aluminium
vent tube used on automotives. This picks up heat (by exchange process)
as it passes through the hot (c.60C) cowl space. May not work in
extremes of climate?

Nigel,
Every builder, I think, is interested in cabin heating if....if.
Technicaly it has to be simple. Practicaly easy to execute and without
sacrificing other good arrangements. Not to much added weight. Easy in
usage and comfort, and last but not least, not to expensif.
Before placing an order I would like to have more information.

The manufacturer for the Europa exhaust has shown interest in
producing a heat exchanger box to be fitted to the XS version of the
aircraft. Before they move forward and design the product they want to
find out how much of a market there is for such a device. Obviously it
is only worth their while if enough owners would buy one. Any one who is
interested should email me so I can give the manufacturer an idea of the
numbers involved.
Regards
Nigel Charles
