Floor vent fan?

Aluminum Fulcon · January 23

With winter here the mind wonders about overheating in the summer. Is there a fan that can be installed for the floor vents in a pa28 Cherokee to keep the air moving? Thanks

Hi Aluminum Fulcon,

If you are worried about air circulation on the ground with prop turning during summer, nothing beats a Kool Scoop attached to the pilot side vent window. In summer flight, there is plenty of airflow through those floor vents and higher altitudes will bring additional cooling.

Here is a link:

Thanks Mike. I have one on the pilot side but unfortunately they’re unusable in the air. I was hoping there may be a circulator fan or something for the floor vent system. I know there’s a ceiling system available. Again. Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

Is something blocking your floor vents in flight that you do not have enough fresh air flow? In my Cherokee, opening the side floor vents in flight could blow you out of the cockpit 🤪

LOL. Negative. Typically doesn’t move until in flight though. And then cooling my ankles or the bottom of my thighs isn’t worth much. Was hoping with a boost it might move the air near my face. Or hopefully someone has an option I don’t know. Something like a fan for the ceiling vent. I don’t know. Anything. Thanks again.
