24 Volt Heater

[rustystud]

The busses I work on have a 350amp continuous duty alternator. There only around $1000.00 . We also use a diesel fired coolant heater, or you could go here like I did and get this Jeep heater for $70.00 . Good unit. http://www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/military-vehicle-parts/m151/jeep-heater.html

I installed an A3 heater in my A2, it is the coolant type and is sufficient in Ohio cold weather. They can be found cheap enough, I think I paid $200-$300, can't remember exactly.

What is the best way for a m151 or one of the jeep units in the cab (recirculating), to try to defrost the windows?

Hook it to the defroster duct.

I did find some duct reducers, seems like my diverter box has smaller (or a small and a large) duct port.
and some suitable ducting and clamps that will connect up to my defroster diffusers (the driver side is going to be fun to reach).
I can find the resistor (modern and/or a direct replacement)
I'm just not having much luck finding a suitable 24v Low OFF High switch... *unless the 6 terminal switches can be used.
