I am considering collecting the air for my air instruments from within the instrument panel molding and adding a row of holes at the top at the bottom of the windscreen, The plan being to draw air over the windscreen and keep it mist free. Is this normal? or is there some other aspect I should consider?

Its a venturi scheme I am using



Thanks

Graham Hi!

I blew air up over front screen using 2 X 12V Computer Fans controlled by

variable resistance from warmer air in Instrument panel housing. They worked

well. The Fans were small at about 50cms maximum as remember. If you intend

to draw air down screen in some way by reduced pressure I'm not sure that

will work as you are drawing the cabin air down that is already causing

mist.

The screen will attract mist throughout Autumn to late spring so it's worth

an investment in a solution. Others will make comment I'm sure.

Regards

Gerry

Hi Graeme



I put up some info on panel cooling and demisting ideas:

My install is near the bottom of this page:

I went with 4 tiny fans using a three position switch that offers me 2 speeds.

I tested a lot of fans, the ones I selected really do offer twice the volume on haldf the amp draw of similar motors.



When shop is quiet boy do 4 fans sound sweet.



Demisting should be better than nothing and should be able to keep my Dynon and radios happier.
