These diagrams all imply, as well as I can tell, that the waste heat is contained into a vent that will exit the roof.The actual burner heat and vent is not shown here.In the vanagon, this waste heat is all contained until it exits the grill behind the stove-and then goes into the pasenger compartment.All I did was to keep as much burner heat as possiable in the vent pipe where it belongs so it can exit the van completely. I think the heat from the fins is will stay in the interior unless it is seperately vented somehow. I did this by removing the fibgerglass insulation on the van wall.I hope someof it will conduct out. |
