Ron,
They are using a HEPA-4 air filter. The filters particulates down to 03
microns. That is effective in removing bacteria and most viruses from the
air. It is not converting Carbon Monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2).
To my knowledge, Pegasus does not have a cold catalyst in their system. They
do cool the air being inspired by the drivers. There is only one company
licensed by NASA to produce this catalyst and I have been working with them
to make a air filtration system for the YAK and CJ. There is no way it can
be produced for $359 though.

If you mount the intake tube to a source like the generator cooling
tube you would have fresh air from in front of the A/C. Routed to the
ice chest for cold air to the helmet would be a plus. Cooling vest
off the ice chest is a option also. . Since we do not have tube
radios I doubt the generator needs force cooling at its reduced load.

Guys,
Pushing air into the cockpit via a third shutter mounted blast tube is
in my mind the best situation and requires the lease modifications. I
favor this over the other methods because this results in the pilot
being "air washed" in a steady stream of fresh air from a point well in
front of the CO source. For those of you that have the slip joint
exhaust or no need for cabin heat this is easily accomplished by the
addition of a pair of cut out shutter vanes and a blast tube assembly,
plus some scat tube to deliver the fresh air to the cockpit. Some
issues do crop up about the potential danger of fire and smoke in the
cockpit via this new hole in the firewall should you be unfortunate
enough to have an engine fire. This problem can be solved by using fire
proof scat and a stainless steel firewall air valve which is available
from Van's or Spruce. If you have a Yak 18T or Yak 52 cabin heat muff
in your exhaust system things are a bit better for us colder weather
types because the valve on the cabin heat muff will allow either fresh
or hot air to be sent to the cockpit, but you still have to feed the
fresh blast tube air into the heat muff and then somehow get it through
the fire wall. Personally I would not disconnect the fresh air cooling
from the generator. This not only robs it of it cooling air but forces
it to run in oily air environment which will shorten it's life.
Just my 5 cents worth.
Always Yakin,
Doug

You just had to pound your point.

I published the exact specs on this in an earlier article if anyone is interested, but with the normal electrical load from any YAK aircraft, the generator is safe to run with no forced air cooling at all. With forced air, it is rated at 3 KW. Without, I can not remember the exact spec (it was in my article) but it is well within the range of a normal aircraft. Add electrical heaters and such and that statement is no longer valid.
