I have a MCI bus with roof top a/c. It seems that after the bus gets up to operating temp. Heat seems to come out from the vents on the bus. It doesn't blow out, because the switch is turned off just seeps out, but it is enough to make it warm on a hot day. Is there some kind of valve that I can turn off??
I need some suggestions.
Thanks |

OK, I just read the article about heater core valves. Should I turn both of these valves off to solve the problem?
Thanks |

One valve on the curb side, next to the engine pan, another
in the front side electrical panel (can be turned by the inside
handle, if it works), one electric valve (that may have been
changed to manual, or not working) inside 1st curb side bay,
to your upper right, and shut the air intakes (located in that
same bay on each side). |

Hello MCI buser,
I am assuming you still have your coach heating system...
A one step move to stop your bleeding heat:
Just close the large gate valve in the bottom of the curb side, side engine access door. This is the return line from the heater core and defroster up front. That will stop the flow of hot coolant up through the heater core, and the associated convection of heat into the interior up through the vents.
No dirt, no crawling, teach the kids/grandkids how to do it.
Be warned that the defroster heat will also be shut off by closing that return valve, the valve low on the wall by the driver's left side won't regulate anything with the return closed in the engine room, perhaps a pain on one of those cool evenings/mornings if the windshield fogs up.
happy coaching!
