Janitrol heater

Rick Gardner · #1 04-13-11, 03:53 PM

Can the Janitrol heater be removed on a P model? We operate 100% of the time in the Caribbean, Mexico and Ceentral America. Never have a problem being too cold.

I would like to permanently remove the Janitrol and get rid of some of the space consuming plumbing. However, we want to do it correctly and legally. Are there any options?

OK, my Janitrol heater has now failed the decay test and is removed by the a&p doing other work on my front engine. Curious on options others have done. I need heat (turbo I usually fly high, and it has been very cold recently without a heater at 21K in November

.

Looking for cost effective options, because I am already having to handle an engine overhaul right now in the pocketbook.

Again, looking for all options and comments please. either her, or email me at rmorris@agsi.us

Thanks,
Robert

Not many options out there Robert, find an overhauled Janitrol or go for the C&D non AD unit

Trading voicemails with mechanic sounds like he might be able to make a heat exchange option similar to what is in his normally aspirate skymaster and remove the janitrol heater, which was an option from factory, by doing a 337 form.

Other than the obvious. make sure my CO2 detectors in the cabin are working before each flight. Any other thoughts on the subject?

What about its ability to heat at high altitudes, versus the Janirol? Anyone have the heat exchange (non-Janitrol style) heater and fly in the upper teens or even low 20s?

Check out this thread, http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...light=janitrol

There is an attachment that details the exhaust for the T model. It indicates a muff over the muffler but only one and I don't see any scat tube connections.

You could try to duplicate a normal aspirated system on your T model but it will require a field approval for the STC as I don't think there is an STC out there. I could be wrong so you might want to give Don Neiser a call or Owen Bell as they may know.

Good luck
