To: Chuck Harbert congrats, thanks for the info.

I've been folowing the discussion about the use of turbochargers.  I am not
an expert, but have been awaiting to see the point discussed  that the turbo 
is a "heat" device.  Of course it uses/needs flow, but the device uses 
exhaust heat to drive the compressor section.

Not exactly. The exhaust energy is in the form of both heat and kinetic
energy.
It is easier to think of it and treat it as totally heat energy however.

To: Paul Lamar on heating.
Wouldn't you want to run the interior heating radiator in the same manner as
on the automobile, that is its "circuit" is "inside" the thermostat.  In this
way, the thermostate opens when the engine warms above the thermostate
setting sending coolent flow to the "radiators".  The interior heater flow is
controled with a heater valve and will have coolent that is the same
temperature as the engine.

Yes that is the problem. If the engine gets too cool then I may not have
enough heat to heat the cabin and the windshield so if I turn off the
main radiators all the engine cooling will be done by the cabin heater
radiator. That is all I am saying.
