Here are the pics of the prototype. If there is any interest, this may be one of my next produts.
It hets pretty cold here in Michigan, its 26F right now and I do need a heater. I had a heater under my dash and I got tired of looking at it so I came up with this. It uses the stuck heat/fan controls on the dash. The fan works in the usual way and the red heat director lever actuates the water control valve to control the temp of the heat exchanger.

Sorry, I didn't see the question. Yes, in theory you should be able to flow a heater core from the inlet and outlet of the radiator. Flow will vary based on things like hose size, port resistance, parasitic drag, pressure differential, etc... But it should work. If you can find a Y fitting and point it the right direction (with flow) it should work better.

Or do I have that reversed? Or do I "T" in and out of the radiator's inlet hose? This is confusing! |
