I don't have heat inside my canard plane. Now am considering piping
hot engine oil to the cabin through a small oil cooler with a blower.
I am looking at a Harley Dyna oil cooler - about the right size. My
question is whether such a cooler will stand the typical aircraft oil
pressure. My engine oil pressure goes up to about 80 psi when cold
then goes down to about 60 psi. I have seen Harleys with oil cooler
pressure gauges 60psi. But shouldn't they have an extra safety stress
factor?
Any bike experts out there?
I already had an engine heat exchanger with the fan there that I tried
but there was too much CO coming through - so I removed the air
plumbing.
