I also thought of this...and eventually rejected it because I could not figure out a way to regulate the heat being transferred to the SVO by the exhaust. It would seem to hold promise though
As stated in a previous post onthe subject the exhaust temperature changes a great deal sepending on how hard the engine is working. This presents two problems. Will the exhast stay warm enough at idle? and Will it get to hot at full load? Not warm enough is OK since at idle on is usng very little fuel and one the engine is warmed up it likely can produce enough exhuast heat to suffice. Much harder is the too much heat problem. If the SVO is heated too much it may damage components "downstream" such as the pumps or the solenoid valves. It needs to be kept at a temperature we know will not do so and yet heated along its entire length. The more I try to design somthing that will ensure these two factors the more I decide it is simpler and more efficient to use HIH or HOH(hose on hose)to do so. I would love to hear others ideas though. Don't be afraid. There are no stupid ideas in a brainstorm.
