Varieties of engine preheaters
According to the principle of operation of the PPD for gasoline and diesel engines, divide into two main groups:
- autonomous;
- electric.
Autonomous
Use the fuel of the car itself as the energy. They are more comfortable, do not depend on external sources, but cost more. If there is no standard heater, install a ready-made mounting kit for a service station.
Electric
To operate this option, you need to connect to 220 volts to the power supply. The principle of operation is like a conventional boiler, in which the heating of the coolant is carried out. Circulation is carried out by gravity (adjacent rises upstairs, and cold drops down).
Autonomous liquid heaters are installed under the hood of the car and operate on one of the types of fuel: gasoline, DT, gas.
Longfei with Pompey 3 kW
Heats the cooling fluid and causes it to move along a small cycle, warming up the power unit even without its idle work without spending the fuel. For heating, a TEN is used, circulation - centrifugal pumping equipment. These elements are located in the device housing and function from household power grid with a voltage of 220 volts.
Longfei 3 kW
This model has a thermostat and power adjustment system. When the cooling fluid is reached the upper temperature limit, the equipment is turned off. Once cool down to the lower installed limit, heating and pump automatically turn on. In the result, the engine is always in a state of readiness for starting and the beginning of the movement.
Miniature autonomous heaters of Longfei are designed to meet the needs of the market. Their sizes are only 8 × 7.7 × 11.8 cm. The heaters are securely fixed on the nozzles using clamps without requiring a special fastening. They are fixed by the serial method by cutting into the inlet tube of the cabin stove. The model evenly warms the engine at high speed. Electronics has high moisture protection and is distinguished by reliability.
Price lunfee from 2390 rubles.

Preheaters for passenger cars are presented in a large assortment, consider the most popular models of 2018. Webasto T400The heater is designed specifically for the Russian market. A distinctive feature It is the ability to warm up not only the engine of the car, but the creation of a comfortable temperature in the cabin.
Webasto Thermo Top Evo Comfort + The capacity of the brand of brand Webasto is 5 kW, which is enough for normal work On gasoline engines with a working volume of up to 4 liters. Included supply is not provided by the regular authority. The maximum efficiency is "working" a higher temperature of the coolant, early launch of the ADP5 fan, fast heating due to the control of the liquid pump and the best heat transfer. Severs - budget energy-dependent heater, works from a standard power grid. In the configuration, the thermostat that protects against engine overheating. Heating up to 60 ° C is carried out in 1-1.5 hours. At a temperature of 85 ° C, the system stops working. If the coolant temperature drops to 50 ° C, the heater again starts its work. It is noteworthy that the heater has protection against moisture and from electric shock.
The disadvantage of Severse is just that he needs a socket, so it is possible to use such a device only if there is a power grid. Defa Warmup 1350 WFUTURA - Maximum System preheating Engine, Salon and Charging rechargeable battery car. The system management is made through the Futura mini timer.
The kit includes:
The big advantage is that the device consists of block modules and armored connecting cables. By choice, they can be installed either by separate blocks or a whole complex. How to warm the motor when there are no sockets? One option - burn your own fuel. So the autonomous preheating heaters are arranged: these are small stoves, burning fuel, taken from the tank, and warm the built-in heat exchanger. Such an preheater is easy to automate - connect a timer to it, output control from alarm. Teplostar Preparation BINAR-5S (gasoline)The BINAR-5S engine preheater is a domestic analogue of the famous German "Webasto", which is advantageous from it at a price and with a wider range of operating temperature - to -45 ° C. It is installed on passenger cars with a liquid cooling system operating on gasoline.
The control of the work "BINAR-5S" is carried out through the alarm, the remote timer or through the GSM modem application. This allows the team or on schedule to warm the antifreeze in the car to a temperature of 85 0s followed by shutdown or firing at low power. A set of equipment is designed to connect to the salon heater or as a separate unit for the lightweight start of the car in the winter.
Installed on all types of equipment, including commercial transport and cargo cars. The kit includes:
Review users pay attention to the fact that Thermo Top Evo Comfort Although it is intended only for heating the engine without a salon (for this there is a more expensive version of Top Evo Comfort +), the wires for the wire of the cabin heater are turned on in the wires.
The gasoline version has a maximum heating power of 5 kW at the beginning of the engine warming cycle. In the process of operation, the power of the engine heater is reduced to 1.5 kW, which leads to a decrease in fuel consumption and battery charge. Diesel at minus temperatures becomes thick, like kissel, as a result of which run the engine even at -10 ° C becomes archative. Someone chooses a diesel for special winter brands, but it is not sold at all refills. Others choose the engine preheater for diesel. One thing does not interfere, but in the aggregate will create ideal conditions for any frosts. Teplostar 14Ts-10, 20Ts, 15TFs are new models with a capacity of 12-20 kW, intended for buses and trucks that work on a diesel population or on a compressed natural gas. It is installed even on KAMAZ
Teplostar Diesel Engine-Heater 14Ts-10-12-C Such heaters ensure the engine warming of the motor vehicle and the cabin during the cold season. The main advantages of cars (diesel) for which the installed heater "Teplostar":
Liquid Hydronic 35 is designed to install in buses, cargo transport, Container structures, special equipment, ships. The heating capacity of 35 kW, which contributes to the highest possible and efficient engine warming, car interior, cabin, cargo car.
Hydronic is constructively divided into two main nodes - the pump and the fuel pump, which allows you to install it in any selected place, which significantly saves space. This design is optimal for installation in vehicles with a disadvantage of free space under the hood. APG-30D - preheater for diesel engine. The operation of the heater requires 24V nutrition.

Engine preheater Allows heating the power unit so that not only to provide its lighter start, but also reduce the load on the battery, the starter, as well as rubbing pairs inside the motor itself. Currently, there are two main types of engine preheaters. The first is an autonomous liquid, which works on fuel. The second type is electric, operating from the household electrical network with a voltage of 220 V or regular 12V of the aircraft.
Both autonomous and stationary heaters have its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before answering the question of how to put the engine heater, it is necessary to further familiarize yourself with their descriptions and features. Then there is a list of popular preheating heaters, which will help motorists to choose the most suitable sample for it. And on the basis of the possibilities, set by comparing the indicators of each.
Liquid engine heater
The liquid autonomous apparatus is according to the statistics of the most popular type of engine preheaters. In essence, it is an additional stove operating directly on gasoline or diesel (on the same fuel as the motor itself). The device is an electric heater based on a ceramic pin, which, in turn, is connected to a regular battery. Thanks to its physical characteristics, it does not need a high current to achieve a high temperature of the heat of ceramics.
Another system unit is an additional pump that shakes fuel from a tank into the combustion chamber, where it is ignited due to contact with the stubble pin. The resulting heat is transferred to the heat exchanger. On the other hand, with the help of a pump, antifreeze of the car engine is pumped, thus getting warm. A positive feature of such a liquid engine heater is that warm antifreeze naturally pumps up to a regular stove radiator. This allows you to heat not only the motor, but also the internal volume of the machine. Moreover, the cabin fan does not turn on immediately, but only when the antifreeze temperature reaches approximately + 30 ° C (the exact temperature differs from specific models).
When the antifreeze temperature reaches approximately + 70 ° C (again, depends on the specific model), the engine preheater is 12 volts, as its motorists sometimes call, it goes into the so-called half mode, that is, reduces power, and then goes into Standby mode. If the temperature of the antifreeze decreased by approximately 20 ° C. from optimal, then the heater turns on again, and a new cycle is started.
Use liquid engine heater Specialists are recommended from the moment when the ambient temperature is reduced to + 5 ° C. This is due to the fact that the clearances of the cold engine are greater than that of a heated, and therefore wear between its drunk pairs will be higher. Accordingly, the lower the engine start temperature, the wear of its parts will be higher. The gaps are calculated fully at a temperature of approximately + 90 ° C. Accordingly, the use of the engine heater allows to significantly reduce the wear of the motor, especially during the cold season.
The fuel consumption of an autonomous liquid engine heater is about 600 ... 700 ml per hour.
Its additional plus is the autonomy of the control (on the timer in the cabin, the remote control of whether the GPS module). Please note that the installation of a liquid heater of the engine running on the fuel is quite complex and is responsible. In particular, it is impossible to allow air supply to the system, which can lead to the failure of the system and even fire. Therefore, it is desirable to eliminate the independent installation of this system, and instruct the appropriate work to masters in the car service. This is all the more relevant, since in the insurance of the machine, insurance agents always take into account the presence in the design of the heater machine, and relevant documents on their installation (who, when and where installed). And in the case of an insured event, it can create additional troubles for the owner of the car.
It is necessary to take into account that the operation of the liquid heater implies the use of electrical energy from the rechargeable battery. From here you should draw the following conclusions:
- The battery should be if not new, then at least in good technical condition, that is, to keep the charge / discharge normally.
- The battery must be preloaded well charged, because even in a few minutes of the heater, it can significantly discharge the battery, because of which even a warm engine cannot be launched.
- The battery must have a good backup capacity, that is, the time of operation without recharging from the automotive generator.
When choosing a good car battery, you need to take into account many factors. In particular, its type, value of the capacity, the current of the cold scrolling, the brand, the price. 2019 the best batteries are
If warming has passed in normal mode, and managed to start the engine, then you should not immediately move from the place. Remember that oil in the gearbox and various systems (for example, in shorts, bearings) cold and thick. Therefore, it is necessary to stand at the place for some time in order to give these technological fluids to become more fluid. Well, the first kilometers of the way in the frost time it is advisable to go nonuseous mode and on small engine speeds.
Conducting information, it should be noted that the autonomous liquid engine heaters have the following advantages:
Separate nodes of autonomous and electric heaters
- Autonomy, that is, they do not depend on any external power sources, they can be used on any parking lot.
- High performance efficiency, and cyclical work is allowed to maintain the antifreeze temperature in the specified range.
- Ease of use, the presence of multiple control modes (depends on the configuration of a specific model).
However, these aggregates have disadvantages:
- The operation of the heater implies the presence of a good, charged, battery. If he is old and does not hold the charge, then either you need to abandon the use of the device, or replace the battery.
- The complexity of the installation. At the same time, it is necessary to observe not only the safety regulations, but also the installation is correct. It is advisable to install in a special car service.
- High cost of equipment.
Please note that according to the European Agreement on International Transport, it is impossible to establish autonomous engine preheaters for cars intended for the transport of dangerous goods.
Electric Engine Preheater
In this case, the design of the electrical heater implies that it simply will be embedded in the cooling system, and, raving, will heat the coolant. And the device from the household network voltage is 220 volts. The fork of the heater is usually hidden in a special niche in the car's bumper area. Accordingly, it takes access to the household outlet. There is first inconvenience. The second drawback is that in this case only the engine itself is heated, and the salon remains cold.
However, there are kits of the preheater of the engine 220 V, which includes additional "buns". In particular, many manufacturers additionally offer a thermal heating module with a fan for heating the cabin. Usually it works until the standard car stove starts. Another useful element is the recharge of the battery. Charging process comes from an external source, and it only contributes to the subsequent light engine start, and any battery does not hurt. In the most "sophisticated" versions in the kit there is a remote control with the timer. However, in this case, it is necessary to understand that the remote does not independently connect the wires to the outlet, so they need to be connected to the previously, and remotely only controls the system.
Exist various models heaters that work in different conditions. Therefore, the heating time of the coolant is different from them. In the middle of half an hour, the heating device is able to heat the cold liquid to a temperature of + 50 ° C ... + 90 ° C.
From the point of view of safety, the electrical heater is much safer than autonomous. However, the alerts listed above are valid for him. It is desirable that the system has a control timer and feedback on temperature (turned off the heating element when the maximum specified temperature level is reached, and turned on it again when it is reached as minimally installed). If there are no control devices, then it is necessary to periodically monitor the heating procedure, since there is always a risk of engine overheating and even its fire due to this!
As well as in the previous case, after the engine start, the movement should be moderate in order to the technological fluids in various car systems have become more fluid, and did not wear the corresponding actuators.
The advantages of the engine preheater 220V refers:
- Do not discharge a regular car battery.
- Not consumed fuel from the tank.
- Low price compared to an autonomous heater, basic equipment is available for almost any car owner.
- A simple installation with which you can cope with your own hands.
From the disadvantages of the electric heater, only the obligation to the existence of a household electrical outlet should be noted in close proximity to the car (usually through the extension cord, but it still "binds" the machine to a specific place). It is this deficiency and imposes an imprint on the features of the use of an electric preheater car Engine. It is most often used in garage conditions. You can, of course, unwind carrying on the car park or from the apartment window, but this gives obvious inconvenience.
Best Autonomous Engine Heaters
The editors of our site was made an overview of the engine preheaters, which are most popular from domestic motorists. It included both autonomous and electrical heaters. The rating is not a commercial nature and does not advertise a device submitted in it. The purpose of this list is to help the car owners answer the question - what is the best engine preheater. Let's start a review from autonomous heaters as the most common.
Webasto Thermo Top E / Thermo Top C
Heaters of the German company Webasto are leaders in this market segment. Among her products there are heaters in various equipment With different software. One of the most popular models are Thermo Top E and Thermo Top C. Rating in advance, it is worth noting that these options differ only in the output power. It is 4.2 kW, and the tor with is 5.2 kW. Accordingly, the torus is recommended for small and medium-class machines (engine volume), and the tor with can be installed on large motors, for example, on SUVs.
Webasto Thermo Top E
The preheater "Webasto" works in the classical, described above, scheme. The coolant pump in forced manifests the heated antifreeze through the system. The electronic part of the heater is characterized by a high degree of automation. In particular, it automatically turns the cabin stove fan when the cooling fluid is sufficient. Besides, software It is configured in such a way that ensures maximum safety of the system. In particular, it diagnoses the overall state of the system, and does not start in the event of a cliff of wires, hoses, failure of the pump and so on. That is, in the level of security it is one of the best systems.
The full-time configuration is directly heater, circulating pump, mini timer and remote control. The power consumption of the system system is 22 W, and the tor with - 32 W, which they take from the car battery. This is comparable to the work of one near-light lamp. The bulk flow of the circulation pump is 500 liters per hour (the counterpart value is 0.14 bar). It can be used for gasoline and diesel engines (when purchasing it is necessary to pay attention to the execution). Fuel consumption in full loading mode is: for gasoline - 0.57 / 0.67 liters per hour (tor e / tor with), for diesel fuel - 0.47 / 0.59 liters per hour. The weight of the heater is 3.2 kg. Installed time frameworks - 10 ... 60 minutes. IN basic configuration The heater starts automatically based on the information received from the existing timer.
Please note that there is an additional option (Switch "Winter / Summer"), which allows you to use it in the warm season to reduce air temperature in the cabin (instead of air conditioner). This can be done by turning on the fan and the interior ventilation. In more "advanced" versions, the heater is equipped with a remote control, operating at a distance of up to 500 ... 600 meters. One of the modifications of the console - Telestart, reports the car owner, whether the signal reached the executive bodies or not.
Heaters "Webasto" meet European security requirements, but their installation is better to entrust the workers of the car service. And you need to use either outdoors either indoors with good forced ventilation. The warranty on the product is two years from the installation on the car. The only drawback of this device is a high price.
Currently, a more modern version of the heater from the Webasto "is more commonly found on sale - Webasto Thermo Top Evo Start. They are for gasoline and diesel engines. Article of the heater for gasoline engine - 1325916A. Article of the heater for diesel engine - 1325915A. The average price of a gasoline heater as of the beginning of 2019 is about 40 thousand rubles, and diesel - about 35 thousand rubles.
EBERSPACHER HYDRONIC S3.
The EBERSPÄCHER group of companies produces various heating equipment for cars of different dimensions and capacities, including engine heaters. In particular, for passenger cars there is a series of Hydronic S3. It includes four heater - B4E and B5E for gasoline engines, and D4E and D5E - for diesel engines. All of them work from the battery voltage of 12 volts. Regulation of output power - stepless. They have the same mass and is 2 kilograms.

The preheating heaters of the engine "Hydronik" are distinguished by a high efficiency and ease of operation. The device works according to the classic described above, the method. With it, you can warm the coolant, as well as a car salon. Including . When starting, the heater takes from the battery 135 W power.
The control of the heater is performed through the electronic unit. In addition to directly control, it is designed to track emergencies and disconnect the instrument. Thus, the permissible range of operating voltage from the battery is 10.5 ... 16 volts, when the voltage outputs, the heater is turned off for the specified boundaries. Similarly, with pressure, when the pressure is exceeded over 2.5 bar, the device turns off in emergency mode. The permissible ambient temperature for the enabled heater must be in the range from -40 ° C to + 60 ° C for gasoline heaters and from -40 ° C to + 80 ° C - for heaters intended for installation on diesel engines.
Please note that the preheaters "Hydronik" are sensitive to the quality of the fuel used. In particular, in gasoline heaters it is impossible to use Ethanol E85. As for diesel heaters, a decrease in the ambient temperature to -20 ° C and it is necessary to use the so-called winter diesel fuel. It is also impossible to use biodiesel with diesel heaters.
Preheaters "Hydronik" are characterized by simplicity and convenience of control. In addition to the control panel directly, you can also use an additional telephone system of remote control Easystart TEXT +. With its help, the heater can be controlled using a tonal dialing, SMS messages or using a special mobile application. However, the telephone control system in the base bundle is not included, and it must be purchased separately.
Each of the enumerated heaters has its own article. In particular, B4E -201963050000, B5E - 201952050000, D4E - 252694050000, D5E - 252652050000. In addition, there is also a mounting kit that is also available on the number of the article - 252652800000. The average gasoline heater in the basic configuration - 18 thousand rubles, and diesel - about 28 thousand rubles as of early 2019.
Teplostar 14Ts
The domestic preheating heaters "Teplostar" are produced in the city of Samara, and are competitors with similar foreign samples. Currently, several similar devices are produced. The first - heat station 04ts - is intended for installation on gasoline engines. The second - heat station 14Ts-mini-GP (is a more modern, improved and reduced version of the popular heater heat station 14Ts-10). It is intended for installation and working with diesel engines.
Gasoline heater Teplostar 04ts works according to the classical principle described above. That is, with it, you can heat the coolant of the engine and the air in the car. The maximum heating power of the device is 4 kW. Power consumption - about 65 watts from the battery. Operating voltage of the heater - 16 V / 12 V / 10 V (maximum / nominal / minimum modes). Please note that when working in the maximum mode, the device needs a large voltage. Therefore, to ensure its normal operation, you must install a high-quality battery in the car and constantly maintain it in a fully charged state. Or exploit the heater only in nominal or minimal mode (nominal will be quite enough). Electronasus capacity - 680 liters per hour. Gasoline consumption - 600 ml per hour. The mass of the heater with all components is about 8 kilograms.
The heater is started in manual or automatic mode, the electronics implies the use of one of the three modes of the programmable launch. The time of operation of one cycle is 40 minutes. Range of operating temperatures - from -45 ° C to + 80 ° C. In the warm season with it, you can ventilate the salon. And in preventive purposes, it is recommended to include the device for 10 minutes each month.
POMP and other "rough" elements of the heater are mounted in the subcontrol space. A control panel can be attached either to the dashboard ("desk" option), or into the liner cover of the cabin in the area of \u200b\u200bthe windshield ("ceiling" option). You can control the device either from a stationary control panel either from the remote control (complete optional). The remote control operates at a distance of 150 meters, and has no feedback (that is, it is not known whether the signal reached the heater, and it turned on).
The design provides four permissible working positions when installing the heater. However, the manufacturer directly recommends to delegate the installation of the apparatus by car service. The heater works under the control of the electronic unit with the display. It displays information about the settings, as well as information about possible breakdowns. They are displayed in the form of certain codes, information about which can be found in the attached documentation. Also, the electronic unit monitors the safe operation of the heater and stops working (or does not allow it) in emergency situations.
Heater heat station 14Ts-mini-GP is a diesel analogue of the instrument described above. It provides heating diesel engine and heated car interior. Using the electronic unit, not only the starting time of the heater can be installed, but also the duration of its operation in the range from 40 minutes to 2 hours. Control is carried out either using stationary or using the remote control unit. It is also possible to control the heater with mobile phoneHowever, for this you need to additionally buy a special modem.
There are heaters with an operating voltage of 12 V and 24 V. We present the technical characteristics of the 12-volt device, as the most common. Power output: Maximum / nominal / minimum - 14/9/4 kW. Fuel consumption: maximum / nominal / minimum - 1.3 / 1.1 / 0.2 liters per hour. Power consumption Heater: maximum / nominal / minimum - 110/95/74 W. Installation mass - 16 kilograms.
The price of the gasoline and diesel engine heater is approximately the same, and as of the beginning of 2019 it is about 25 thousand rubles. The diesel heater can be bought in any online store on the article - SB2630.
Autonomous Engine Heater "Binar-5S"
The autonomous heater of the engine "Binar-5S" is made by the same domestic company "Teplostar" from Samara. It can be used on gasoline and diesel engines to a working volume of up to 5 liters. The minimum work temperature is -45 ° C. When the coolant temperature is reached, equal to + 85 ° C, the heater switches to low power mode. After 20 ... 60 minutes of work (depending on the temperature of the coolant in the engine) or having received a forced command from the car owner, the heater is turned off.
There are various versions, in particular, to work with a voltage of 12 V and 24 V. In the first case, the fuel consumption is 0.7 liters per hour, in the second - 0.62 liters per hour. In this case, the outgoing productive power is 5 ± 0.5 kW. And the power consumed from the automotive battery is 42 watts. The mass of the entire oven is 4.8 kg. The package includes all fasteners and other products necessary for easy and fast installation on it. planting place In the engine. The heater can be installed on any domestic and imported machines with the corresponding engine, it has all permits and licenses.
The advantage of using the Binar engine heater is the convenience of its control. So, they can be controlled by:
Heater "Binar"
- remote timer (traditionally included in the package);
- console of the central lock / alarm (if there is an appropriate free channel);
- voice calls through mobile devices and appropriate applications installed on IOS, Android operating systems;
- SMS messages from a mobile phone;
- GSM modema (must be bought separately), in this case the heater can be controlled theoretically from any point of the planet, where there is a corresponding coating.
The electronic control unit has a large list of additional commands and locks that ensure safe operation of the device. In particular, periodically he conducts self-diagnostics, controls the state of the electrical and liquid systems to which is connected. In an emergency, it turns off and reports an accident owner. The factory warranty on the heater is 18 months.
Popular electrical heaters
The preheater Defa Warm Up is popular not only in the Russian Federation, but also beyond. Produced in Norway by the same name by DEFA. The company specializes in the production of such devices, and in its product catalog there are hundreds of heaters for specific machines. To choose a heater for your car - go to the official website of the company or its representative in your country.
Preheater Defa Warm Up
Despite differences in size, they have the same design. The basis of the structure is cylindrical and tubular heating elements are the first to be embedded in the engine block to the places of technological plugs, and the second are mounted into the rubber nozzles of the small circuit of the cooling system. However, the cylindrical models are popular. They allow you to raise the temperature of the coolant at 40 ... 50 ° C. An additional advantage of the "Defa" heaters is the possibility of acquiring a battery charging. That is, in the heating process, the engine is not only warmed up, but the battery is recharged. This is especially convenient if you have a "weak" battery on your car. Moreover, the charger is turned on immediately after connecting the device to the electrical network, regardless of whether the engine heater is enabled or not.
The engine heater Defa Warm Up can be controlled by one of three ways. The first is immediate or manual. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the heating process, in particular, the temperature of the coolant. The second is programmable, with feedback. In particular, the heating system is activated when the ambient temperature is reached the specified value (one of the five values \u200b\u200bprovided). In this case, the engine is heated, and heating air in the cabin. The third is remote, using the appropriate console.
Installing the heater in the basic configuration will not cause problems even at a novice car enthusiast. The problem may arise except in the case of installation additional equipment In the form of a battery charger. In this case, it is advisable to seek help in the car service. The warranty on the heater is 12 months.
The instructions for the device indicate that the design of the heater implies the use of its protective tools, in particular, locks and fuses. Therefore, it is possible to leave the system on the inclusive for a long time, while the engine does not occur and this does not threaten unpleasant consequences. However, following prudence, still does not stand for a long time to leave the heating device without supervision and do not use it a very long time and for "prevention".
Based on the reviews found on the Internet, it can be concluded that the DEFA Warm Up heater is an excellent solution for the preheating of the engine in the garage conditions. The only disadvantage of the system is its high price compared to domestic counterparts. But it is convenience of use, quality of performance and reliability at height. As an example, we give a popular heater for VAZ 2110. Its article is 411365. And the price for the above period above is about 3,500 rubles.
Preheater "Severst"
The most popular model of the Severs-M heater has the number 103.3741. The device is made by the company "Leader" on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the city of Tyumen. In addition to directly, the heater includes a connecting cord, as well as a mounting kit (depending on the car model). The power of the heater is 1.5 kW, it is intended to be installed in the engine to a working volume of up to 3 liters. The length of the connecting cord is 2.2 m, the heating time of the coolant to the temperature is + 60 ° C - 1.5 ... 2 hours (depending on the ambient temperature), the temperature of the thermostat is + 85 ° C, the temperature of the thermostat - + 50 ° C, the weight of the heater in the kit is 0.8 kilograms. Circulation of antifreeze controls the built-in valve. In the model line of such heaters, there are models with other facilities, in particular, 1 and 2 kW.
When choosing it is convenient that the manufacturer directly indicates that one or another heater is used for what machines. To do this, the catalog indicates the set number for a specific machine (or group of machines). Therefore, before buying, it is necessary to get acquainted with the relevant information on the manufacturer's website or in the online store. The list of catalog has a universal assembly kit for imported car vehicles that have not included in the catalog.
Mode of operation - manual and automatic. Automatic mode is performed based on the electronic programmable block. You can set the time of its inclusion, as well as the duration of work - from half an hour to four hours. At the same time, the block provides control over the internal parameters of the heater, so you can not follow the device, it will turn off automatically in an emergency. However, the instructions clearly indicate that before installing the heater and during its operation it is necessary to monitor not only for the normal level of antifreeze in the cooling system, but also to check the integrity of the clamps and compounds in order to eliminate the refrigeration leakage.
The additional advantage of the Severste Engine Preheater is simplicity of its installation. The instructions provide a step-by-step algorithm, following which even a novice car enthusiast will cope with the installation. The factory warranty on the device is 2 years. Judging by the reviews of domestic motorists, this heater is a simple, reliable and inexpensive device, so it is uniquely recommended for purchase.
The price of the Severs-M heater for the above period is about 3000 rubles.
Electric heater "Storzor"
Another stationary electrical heater, produced by the same domestic company "Leader" from Tyumen. This device is intended exclusively for engines. Domestic vases. In particular, the PEZ-MB-220-051 model (voltage - 220 V, power - 0.5 kW) is designed for installation on VAZ-2108-09 cars with carburetor EngineAs well as on VAZ 2110/12 with a 16 valve injection or carburetor engine.
Heater "Storzorman"
It is installed instead of a plug of the cylinder block, which has a seating diameter of 35.8 mm. Installation involves the use of a spacer plank, the paws of which rest in the inner part of the block. The circular sealing ring provides sealing between the flange of the heater and the walls of the cylinder block. This allows you to install the heater to engines made of cast iron or aluminum.
The plug has a third grounding wire, so it is desirable to use the so-called "Euroreset" with three contacts for the operation of the heater. The advantage of the work of the preheater of the engine "The Striker" is that it warms the engine of the cooled block directly, which increases its efficiency.
Real tests have shown that the heater "Storgery" shows an average efficiency, which is largely due to its low power. However, it can be used with minor frosts (for example, up to -10 ° C) or at low positive temperatures. This will allow the warm air into the salon from the stove from the stove, which will increase the comfort of staying in the cabin of the driver and passengers.
There is one subtlety to install this heater. The fact is that when installing on VAZ engines, most car enthusiasts have a problem with dismantling of the plug. And the saddest thing when it fails inside. And here without special devices to extract it can not do. Therefore, the independent installation of the heater makes sense only if you are confident in your abilities and skills. Yet, many car enthusiasts for these purposes give their cars in the car service.
The price of an electric heater "The Beneforgic" as of the beginning of 2019 is about 1,500 rubles. Article, according to which you can buy - PEG-MB-220-051.
Electric heater "Longfei"
Heaters "Lunfe" are produced in China (in English the name of the manufacturer is written as longfei). In the line of heaters, devices of various power are presented - 1.5 kW, 1.8 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW. However, the greatest distribution among motorists found it was a 3-kilowatt heater, which has its own name "Prince". Moreover, the choice must be done on the basis of information on the working volume of a particular engine. The device can be used in passenger and trucks. There is official certification, which allows the use of heater to domestic motorists on legal grounds.
The advantage of the preheater "Lunfe Prince" is that the heating occurs under the control of the electronic unit. In particular, it includes elements of protection based on relay, not fuses (as in earlier versions). In addition, the control unit includes a timer and a thermal relay, with which you can, first, set the time when the device turns on, and starts to warm up the cooling fluid in the engine, and secondly, it is programmatically to set the temperature and boundary temperatures, To which the device will warm up antifreeze. Also, the kit includes an electrical pump, which ensures uniform pumping of the coolant on the system, thereby ensuring its uniform heating. Pump performance - 8 liters per minute. Thus, the average time required for engine warming is 30 ... 60 minutes.
The Lunfee Electric heater can be installed on the engine independently without referring to the help of the car service. The package includes all the necessary equipment and fasteners for this, in particular, the clamps with which it is attached. The mounting pipe cross section is 1.7 cm. The minimum declared resource of the heater is 2 thousand hours of heating. Mass - 780 grams, dimensions - 80 mm × 77 mm × 118 mm. The factory warranty on the product is 12 months. Thus, the heater "Longfei" is unequivocally recommended for the use of car owners whose cars are stored in garages, or in places where there is access to connect the device to a household voltage of 220 V / 50 Hz.
The preheater "Lunfea" with a capacity of 3 kilowatta can be bought in any online store on the article 53000W. Its average price as of the beginning of 2019 is about 2800 rubles. Similarly, a preheater with a capacity of 1.5 kW can be bought according to the 91500W article. Its price is 2500 rubles. Preheater with a capacity of 1.8 kW - 91800W. Its average price is similar to 2500 rubles. As for the heater with a capacity of 2 kW, it can be bought on the article 72000W. Its price is 2800 rubles.
Please note that when buying a single engine heater (regardless of whether it is autonomous or electric), you should always be interested in the presence of a certificate on it. The fact is that self-made homemade devices are sold on the car market, positioned as know-how. From such crafts it is better to refrain because they are not only ineffective, but simply is dangerous, because they can lead to large-scale negative consequences, such as failure of individual car systems, short circuit and even a fire. Therefore, buy only proven and certified products. If you had experience in using any engine heaters - share information about this in the comments. By this you will help choose the best engine preheater according to our readers.
Conclusion
The use of an autonomous or electric heater allows not only to ensure easy engine start during the cold season, but also significantly reduce its wear. And this favorably affects the service life of individual parts of the motor, including engine oil, which in the aggregate leads to monetary savings. In addition, the autonomous heater (and electrical in the presence of additional equipment) increase comfort, because the car's salon is pre-warmed before the driver and passengers enter them.
A specific answer to the question of which choose the engine preheater does not exist. It depends on the storage conditions of the machine and the financial capabilities of its owner. The electrical heater is more suitable if the machine is stored in the garage. In all other cases, it is better to buy an autonomous engine heater.
On different types of passenger cars, heavy trucks, special machines Installed engine preheater. Equipping this device, facilitates the launch of the internal combustion engine, increases the resource of the performance power aggregateAnd also improves comfort when using the winter machine.
On the model of cars that are not equipped with a regular engine heating system, it is possible to install this device. However, when installing, you need to correctly pick up the appropriate heater for the motor, and correctly install.
Why do you need an preheater?
Cold launch of the power unit reduces its resource at 400-500 kilometers. In addition, not every attempt to start auto in the winter, ends successfully. It is most difficult to launch the engine in the northern latitudes of Russia, there are drivers of heavy vehicles, do not devour the motor overnight, thereby do not give it to cool. This affects fuel consumption, and the resource of the power unit.
Previously, soldering lamps used to warm the motor. The lack of such a method was that the flame could damage the car, in addition, certain knowledge and skills were needed to work with this device.
To solve the problems of winter launch, you need to purchase an preheater - a device that warms the motor and the interior before starting the car. It significantly increases the service life of the power unit, increases the comfort of travel in a heated cabin and reduces fuel consumption.
Types of automotive preheaters
Preparation automotive heaters depending on the type of power, and the application area are divided into:
- Electric.
- Autonomous.
In turn, autonomous heaters are divided into:
- Air.
- Liquid.
The engine preheating systems are divided into the type of fuel used by the car used. For gasoline and diesel engines use different types of heaters.
Installation takes into account the type of vehicle, and the type of heater. If the device is selected incorrectly, heating the motor before launch, will be ineffective or lead to the booster of the brake fluid.
220 volt electric heaters
The electrical heater has a simple device. Cooling fluid is exposed - subsequently, it is flowing across the cooling system tubes, the machine engine warms. Most often, the electrical heater has a cord connected to a 220 volt socket and a heating element.
Device, depending on the configuration, is equipped with a device, to recharge the battery of the machine, a timer with a thermostat, a fan, a remote control.
The installation of such a device is quite simple, and does not require a visit to a specialized service center. To perform it, you will need to implement the following procedure:
- Dry not less than 2 liters of antifreeze.
- Disable the nozzle from the stove.
- Hover the heater. To do this, use a complete heater bracket.
- Connect the automotive heater to the stove using hoses.
- Attach the nozzles to the stove, to build the entire system.
- Pour Tosol either antifreeze.
As for the nuances of use, then, in most cases, for a complete warming up of the motor, you need not more than 30 minutes. However, with overly low temperatures, time will increase to 1-2 hours. The warm-up device that is connected to the car oven, warms the motor connected to the system to it, and the vehicle salon. The heater must be used only if the air temperature does not exceed -5 degrees. In other cases, the use of a vehicle heating system is not needed.
It is impossible to exceed the heating time of the motor, it can lead to boiling coolant. In addition, due to overheating, fire may occur.
The average cost of the electrical heater varies in the range from 1000-5000 rubles, depending on the brand, the producer and functional country.
In the Scandinavian countries, there are columns equipped with 220V sockets installed on the parking lots, which allows you to put the car for heating at any time.
Autonomous engine preheating system
Autonomous heaters are much more convenient electrical, as they can function without connecting to the network 220 volts. However, such devices are more expensive, and complex in the installation. The device is a small chamber, inside which the capal pin is placed, and the fuel-air mixture. Chamber walls have a constantly circulating cooling fluid that warms up, heats the motor, the interior and promotes the thawing of glasses.
The heater of the autonomous type is mounted or in the cooling system of the car, or in the electrical power system. Equally applicable both on gasoline and diesel engines.
Autonomous heaters are divided into:
- Liquid.
- Air.
Liquid autonomous heating devices are intended for SUVs, minivans and compact cars. The device of the preheating, intended for small cars, is installed on machines whose engine volume does not exceed 2.0 liters. Differs high economy. Heaters that are intended to use on SUVs and minivans have a large size and efficiency. However, they consume a much larger amount of fuel. You can also find universal heating systems, which can be used both on large cars and small machines with the same success.
Air have much larger dimensions, compared with liquid, but also allocate more heat. They are used on ships, airplanes, special techniques and large trucks.
Heat batteries
Thermal accumulators belong to the liquid type of automotive heater. The essence of the work is that through such a battery there are tubes of the car cooling system. During the engine operation, the heat is superfluous in the battery and saved there up to 48 hours. When the cooled engine is started, the pump and when pumping antifreeze or antiflower, the heat is transferred to the cooling system.
The main advantage of such a device is the high heating efficiency, and long maintaining heat. The disadvantages include the complexity of the installation, and the need to replace the components. Over time, valves, tubes and control levers wear. Also a minus operation is its cost. On average, the car enthusiast of the thermal battery will cost 7-8 thousand rubles.
When buying a thermal battery, the models produced in China or Russia should not be purchased. It is best to pay attention to devices created in Scandinavian countries. Such heaters can boast high quality, good heat conservation and efficiency.
Heaters diesel fuel
Under the influence of low temperatures, diesel fuel loses its fluidity. The wasolar becomes muddy, crystallizes and paraffinization occurs. As a result, the fuel becomes dense, which makes it difficult to pump through the filters, or completely makes it impossible.
One of the devices that allows to protect diesel fuel from freezing is the preheater. Thanks to its use, the fuel in the tank and the filter separator is heated. For these purposes, preheaters of the following types are used:
- Heated tankers, and heaters in the tank.
One of the most common options. After the warming is completed, the dieselgery falls into the fuel line. The heat is maintained due to the arrival of heated diesel fuel from the "return".
- Bandage heaters (have a flexible tape form).
Heat the fine cleaning filter, the control button is displayed in the car interior. After reaching the operating temperature, the heater turns off automatically.
Popular model of preheater
Among the models of preheater, the following devices are particularly popular:
The device produced in Germany. Refers to compact heaters, economically in electricity consumption. Works from the car battery. In the cold season, the motor quickly and effectively warms. In the summer, a vehicle salon can air.
- Teplostar 04ts.
Domestic heater produced in Samara. It works from the outlet 220V, simple and efficient in operation and maintenance. Many motorists will delight the relatively low cost of this device. A special chip can be called a remote control device. Also, in the event of a failure, the functioning of the preheater is terminated.
Norwegian non-autonomic heater. In addition to the main function - the engine warming, can recharge the battery (this option is useful, since in the cold the battery significantly loses its power). The buyer has the opportunity to purchase basic and advanced sets, and combine them at their own discretion.
When buying an preheater, you should not save. Diesel heaters or thermal batteries, with poor quality assembly, can quickly fail, and technical fluids to get in podcast space car. This will lead to smoke or fire.
In summing up, it is worth saying that the use of the heater significantly accelerates the process of starting the car, saves fuel, and also makes the journey in the car more comfortable, due to air heating in the vehicle cabin.
Below is a video about automotive preheaters
Many manufacturers of foreign cars, orienting the sale of their cars on russian market, offer models with installed autonomous preheater engine and interior. This option is especially valuable in the regions with a long winter season. It is not necessary to defeat those motorists who, who do not have machines are not equipped with the engine's factory preheater. Buy it and establish on any brand of the car currently does not represent problems in any region of the country. The question is more important here about how effective is the equipment and whether it is worth the costs that are necessary for its acquisition and installation.
For this, the engine preheater is needed in winter
What does the preheater consist of and what
Depending on the purpose and principle of operation, the preheater may be a device of various dimensions and power used to heat the engine without its cold start. In addition, it can be used to heat the cabin, windshield and janitors. Offline equipment includes a boiler with a combustion chamber and a radiator, a pipeline system for transmitting fuel, pumps that swing fuel and coolant. It also includes a thermoster, controlling the climate-system fan, an electronic control unit and a device for starting the heater.
Liquid Preheater Thermo Top
Types of automotive preheaters
1. Autonomous engine preheater
For purpose and device Autonomous Preheaters divided into liquid and air types.
Autonomous Liquid Preheaters
Video: Webasto or Hydronic (Webasto or Hydronic) What is better
Designed for heating both the engine and the cabin. They are called so because they work through the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel from the car's tank. They are mounted in the engine compartment and connect to the liquid cooling system of the motor. Heated air applies to internal car ducts. The system is economical on fuel and electricity consumption, during operation does not produce strong noise. It is used for heating all types of internal combustion engines - gasoline, diesel, gas and combined.
Autonomous airborne prehea heaters
Designed for an accelerated increase in air temperature only in the cabin. They are installed in the car's cabin and are used mainly in passenger minibuses, wrappers and kungahs, freight "long-range" machines. They can heat the air in the cabin to a predetermined temperature. Also working silently and consume some electricity. Unlike liquid devices, air devices have large dimensions and performance, so the fuel consumption is somewhat higher. The most popular in the country such brands of German production heaters like Webasto Thermo Top Evo 5 and Eberspasher Hydronic.
The principle of operation of the liquid preheater engine
This works autonomous liquid engine heater
The device is turned on to work from a remote control, timer or cell phone. Startup pulse, falling onto an electronic unit, produces a control signal that feeds the supply voltage to the actuator engine. Motor, rotating, leads to a movement of the heater and fan fuel pump. The pump begins to swing fuel in the burner, where the fuel-air mixture is created using the evaporator and the stubble pin.
Fan fuel mixture Flares in the combustion chamber of the sparkle spark plug. The heat formed during the combustion of fuel, through the heat exchanger is transmitted to the working fluid of the engine cooling system. The liquid circulates in the cooling circuit under the action of the puming pump of the preheater included in this circuit. The heated liquid in the circulation process transmits the engine the heated housing.
When the coolant temperature is reached, 30 degrees with automatically triggered the car cooling radiator fan. Begins to enter the salon. When the toosol or antifreeze is heated to 72 degrees with a reduction in fuel supply to the burner half, and the system goes to a reduced operation mode. The liquid is cooled to 56 degrees and the entire process is cyclically repeated.
By design, the liquid autonomous engine preheater is similar to the cabin automotive heater and is a burner on liquid fuel (gasoline or diesel engine). Even in terms of cost, they differ slightly, not to mention the principle of work. However, at the place of installation and the principle of heating, they are fundamentally different.
In heaters, the burner heats directly the air supplied to the car's salon, and in the preheater, it warms the coolant, which, in turn heats the engine and the standard stove. In order to effectively work the heating of the cabin, it is not necessary to forget the installation of the handle of the stove control on the minimum mode "heat". In this case, the control circuit of the heater at the desired moment will automatically turn on the fan, pumping the warm air into the cabin on the standard air duct system. The result of this work will be noticeable from published, the car's windows in the frost morning will be dry and transparent. In the cockpit, it will be warm and cozy, the wipers can not be removed overnight, it is possible to sit down and immediately go to the road.
A convenient feature is remote control operation of the preheater of the internal combustion engine. It can be enabled using the key on the keychain with the keys from the machine while at home. It is necessary to do this at least half an hour before departure (depending on the frost on the street) so that the cooling fluid and the motor do to warm up to the desired temperature, and the engine start process has passed without complications. There are systems with automatic starting from the built-in timer, on which you need to set the desired inclusion time before locking the machine.
2. Electric Preheater HEAT
Device and diagram of the electric heater engine
An alternative to the autonomous system is an electric heater, which is a spiral electric heater inserted into a power unit cylinder block and operating from an external power supply 220V. The executive element in this system is a small electrical spiral, installed in the cylinder block.
From the block of cylinders when installing the spiral, the silt-made plug is removed, the helix instead and is mounted. Under the action of high voltage through the spiral flows, and it heats the antifreeze. The circulation of fluid in the cooling system is due to the natural convection. It is less productive than with the artificial handling of the pump, and takes a much longer time. The most vivid representatives of the electric heater are the Defa Warmup models and the Severste leader.
The most acceptable is this installation when parking cars in garages and parking, equipped with electrical outlets. If you leave the car on the street or in the courtyard, then you will not need such a heater, as there will be no place to connect it. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of electricity. To ensure economical operation of the device, it is equipped with a timer that allows you to establish the required fluid temperature.
When you go to the installed, the helix is \u200b\u200bautomatically turned off or turns on to work. Accordingly, it occurs cooling or heating the working fluid, which in the process of convection supports the motor in warm condition. The standard options of the motor electrical heater are:
- heating the working fluid in the cooling system of the motor;
- salon heating due to the supply of warm air through a standard stove;
- battery charge.
The principle of heating the motor in electric heater The same as in the offline system. Heat transmission is also carried out by heating the working fluid in the cooling system. The difference lies in the method of heating using an external power source. This makes it possible to apply an additional option -, which is particularly in demand in winter conditions, when low temperatures contribute to its discharge and lowering the capacity.
3. Thermal batteries
The principle of operation of thermal batteries is based on the accumulation of hot working fluid in the cooling system and preserving its temperature unchanged for a long time (2 days). In such a system, when you start a motor, hot antifreeze or antifreeze performs a short circulation along the abbreviated circuit, quickly warming the engine. Classical representatives of such systems - "AVTOTERM", "GOLFRIM", UOPD-0.8.
What gives the use of preheaters
Professional drivers recognize the presence of an autonomous or electrical preheater of the motor with a prerequisite for the configuration modern carGuaranteeing the necessary healthy working conditions in the winter operation. For trucks operated in Europe, this principle has been respected for a long time. From the point of view of security management, their use contributes to the improvement of comfort and reduce the driver's fatigue. Among other things, the heaters contribute to improving the economy and durability of motors. This is achieved at the expense:
Video: Engine Preheater
1. Reducing the number of "cold" engines. It is estimated that on average, each driver produces from 300 to 500 "cold" launches. At the same time, special studies in this area, produced by famous European companies, it was found that in recalculating one "cold" launch, the use of preheating of the motor reduces fuel consumption from 100 to 500 ml. The value of savings depends on the temperature of the outer air and the duration of the heating. Thus, by rough calculations, the use of preheating from autonomous heaters saves for one winter season From 90 to 150 liters of gasoline or diesel fuel.
2. Reducing heavy operation modes that increase engine wear. The overwhelming proportion of the engine wear falls on the period of its launch. This is due to the fact that at the moment of "cold" launch viscosity machine oil Increased and lubricating properties are lowered. At the same time, the friction of the surfaces of moving parts increased and increased wear in connecting rod crank and piston nodes. One "cold" launch reduces the resource of the power unit by 3-6 hundred kilometers of the mileage. Russian climate with 100 days in the year of minus temperatures can give a reduction in the engine resource in one season for 80 thousand km.
3. Enhance security and comfort in driving. The cold contributes to the increased heat transfer and fast fatigue. Driving and lethargy increases, the driver's care is reduced. Driving mode becomes more irrational. In addition, the risk of diseases by such professional diseases as cervical, lumbar osteochondrosis, ORZ is increasing.
Drivers most of our country are interested in knowing how and than to heat the engine in winter before running with your own hands. The problem of the engine plant in winter is familiar to all motorists. Even a fully suitable car may not start when frost in -30 ° C. In this regard, many people are trying to solve this problem. Sometimes the preheating is available in the full package. Now almost all expensive versions of cars are equipped with such devices.
This applies to diesel engines. They are almost always. This is associated with a higher temperature required for their work. The rest of the car owners have to independently invent the engine plant methods at low temperatures. Good now options for this set.
Types of heating
How and what to warm the engine in winter before starting with your own hands? To answer this question, it is desirable to decide what you need from this device. All types of heating are divided into the following groups:
- Heated fuel;
- Heated engine.
As a result, due to the expansion of the pistons, cylinders should occur, as well as the engine can jam. There are several options for heating the motor. Below we will look at how to make an independent device for heating.
Manual heating
To begin with, consider the option when you do not have a regular instrument for heating the engine. And after a sharply hit frost, your iron friend refused to start. Most often this happens for two reasons:
- On diesels freezes fuel (sins the same), then you are a straight road in warm box. This is the most reliable way;
- Oil thickened. This can often be found on gasoline engines, when used not too high-quality, or non-climatic oil conditions.
Heated fuel
For the manufacture you will need a rifle sleeve, the option is suitable with a caliber of 12 mm. The following things will also be required:
- Copper wire;
- Relay;
Heated engine
There are several layout options. The choice that specifically collect depends on your skills, as well as the presence of a tool.
Most often make heated antifreeze. This method is best suited for quick engine warming. It can also be used if necessary to maintain high operating temperature of the motor. To do this, you will need 2 flanges (one plastic), heating element (small piece of copper wire), seal, relay on the 80a and switch.
It is also necessary 2 meters of wire for connecting and a fuse by 50 A. All this is assembled and checked for performance. After that, it is crashed into a motor heating system, preferably in a small circle. The most optimal place is the place in front of the stove radiator.
For the manufacture of another device you will need a plumbing tee. You also need to buy a TEN. A fitting for heating flowing water is suitable, it should only be supplied with a thermostat. One of the ends of the tee is winding a pipe 10 cm long. For other outputs, it is necessary to put the plugs with the possibility of connecting hoses to them. Ten is placed in the pipe. After that, the heater connects to the engine, it is best to put it in the same way around the stove. TEN conclusions are connected to the battery through the relay and switch.
Conclusion. In our country, climatic conditions are quite complex. Therefore, most drivers wondered how and what to warm the engine in the winter before running with your own hands? After all, the operation of the engine at extremely low temperatures can lead to the need for overhaul.
