The auxiliary radiator in a fueled vehicle is one of the most elegant bits of engineering, ever. Taking a waste product (heat) and making full use of it for comfort and safety. REV's don't have much waste heat, and so far as I know nobody's making use of it. If they did, it'd have to be like a VW beetle, with an air shroud capturing the motor heat. REV's can choose to use a heat pump rather than resistive heat, which gives them something like a 3x multiplier for the energy expended. Still, they're at their worst in cold weather no matter what. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
