 Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 8:51 pm Post subject: Wire routing--TUNNEL? |
 |
|
So many people have discussed the hot tunnel temperatures associated with
their Lycoming heating and air system. First, is there any left over room
in the tunnel for anything, as in wire bundles, upper right and left
corners. Is the temperature in the tunnel so hot that is makes it an
impractical area to route anything except hot water to make cocoa on long
flights?
Thinking about putting in a third hole in the bulkheads above the main spar
Just thinking, Just asking.

The tunnel in my 10 used to get hot to touch and I believe would burn your leg if you hold your leg against it long enough. I totally disconnected the left side heat muff and used a "Y" on the right side to bring cold air into the tunnel (via the left valve) and heated air for the cabin. During the summer I still had to stick rags into the heater outlets to prevent the hot air leaking into the cabin.
I have not done much more trouble shooting. I live in Florida and everything is HOT! Perhaps it is not as much of an issue elsewhere.

Mine is a Lycoming. It has to do (I think partially) with a pair of really great heater muffs on the exhaust.
