Hi Michael !
Are you kidding ?
Given, by law of thermodynamic, that the engine of your van gives only
30 % of the consumed power in mechanical energy, 70 % is converted in
heat. You will know how much BHP it gives you. Easy to convert to kW and
calculate the huge amount of heat it generate..... Maybe the radiator
used to heat the cabin is a bit small... Or clogged.
Regards !
