Back in 1980, I thought of all the fuel type vehicles I was following, and
wondering what all those fumes do to you that is coming into your vehicle
through the fresh air vent or heating system.
So when I modified my EV heating system, I did not need a lot of external
air to temper a heating system that would get about 220 F from a engine. I
change the damper doors so I can completely close them for the heating cycle
and open them a tiny bit for some ventilation. I now only need 50 F air on
my windshield to keep them frost free.
I rework the duct work, so I can put a carbon type of air filter in the
incoming duct. I just use the 3M furnish or A/C filters which I cut a piece
out of and roll it up to insert into the duct.
I also use the same type of filter material, to filter the incoming air for
the battery air circulation. I use standard 6 inch carb filters for the
main motor and the motor controller.
