Branch pipe electric heaters for internal combustion engines

In addition to block ones, which are mounted directly into the block, there are branch pipes, which are installed in the section of the pipe.

Such a heater is only suitable if the diameter of the nozzle corresponds to the diameter of the device.

The manufacturers START (M1 / M2), DEFA and Calix also have branch pipes. They are also not difficult to install with your own hands.

Such modifications of branch pipe preheaters are suitable only for domestic VAZ, UAZ and GAZ cars.

Remote heating devices for cars

One of the types of electric heaters is remote. The design is more complicated than that of the previous types. The kit includes hoses, clamps, thermostats.

Brands of domestic remote starting preheaters Severs-M (1-3), Alliance, Severs +, Atlant Smart, Atlant + and others.

An analogue of foreign-made Hotstart TPS (HOTSTART), as a rule, is already standard in cars. Its cost is about 8 thousand rubles.

There are also models with forced circulation of the coolant. All previous versions of electric motor heaters had natural circulation.

American Hotstart worth about 25 thousand rubles. Russian analogues with forced circulation are much cheaper, about 2.5 tr. These are Atlant, Atlant+, etc.

And, how not to mention the world-famous Chinese manufacturers - this is XIN JI, whose power is not more than 1.8 kW.

heating plates

The ability to heat the engine with special heating plates is gaining popularity. They are installed mainly on the cylinder block body and on the crankcase.

The principle of operation of the heating plates is similar to that of electric heating elements. There are models that operate on a 220V network with a frequency of 50 Hertz, and there are those that operate on 12 Volts.

Plate power range from 0.1 to 1.5 kW. Temperature range from +90 to +180 degrees.

Do-it-yourself installation is also possible. Having previously chosen a place for installation, it is necessary to clean it of dirt and degrease this place and glue the plate.

Important! The heating plates must not heat the battery.

Such heating elements will not be able to quickly heat the coolant and the engine, they are designed to work in a long mode.

Advantages of heating plates for internal combustion engines:

  1. Reliable and durable. Do not require repair. The warranty period is long.
  2. Easily mounted. There is no need to contact the service for installation. The kit includes an adhesive tape that must be glued to a cleaned and degreased place.
  3. Safe. Moisture and dust resistance increase the life of the plates.
  4. Wear resistant. Not afraid of moisture. The plates have a protective layer.
  5. Profitability. The cost of electricity is less than the cost of fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel).

Disadvantages of heating plates

  1. The high cost of such an engine heater.
  2. When the plates are powered by a car battery (battery), it is subject to increased wear.

The spread of preheating plates is due to the fact that their use is very convenient.

Conclusion

Having studied the advantages and disadvantages of heaters, we see that autonomous heaters are better. Therefore, if there is a financial opportunity, it is better to install a reliable autonomy right away. Among the electric ones there are convenient plate heating elements.

The video shows a test of the popular VIBASTO engine heater.

An electric engine preheater is one of the most affordable devices among other types of on-line pre-start systems for a car.


You can, of course, start the engine on a cold one, but, firstly, this is fraught with increased wear on the entire motor system, and secondly, it is much more pleasant to sit in a warm, preheated interior on a cold winter morning. Therefore, it would be wiser, and in the future more economical in terms of maintenance, to take care of the early heating of the engine by installing special heating elements in the cooling system circuit of your car. Since heating devices operating on an electrical principle come in different capacities and types, you should take into account the time required for your engine and interior to reach the desired temperature, it takes on average up to half an hour.

What types of electric engine heating are the most common:

An electric engine heater of a remote, external type, which receives energy for its operation from an alternating current network of 220V. Its heating elements are made of high quality materials, they are durable and unpretentious in maintenance. The only feature that should be taken into account is the underdeveloped infrastructure of places where you can use the heating service. In the Scandinavian countries, in parking lots and near supermarkets, you can often find such small posts, just for this purpose. For our man, buying an external pipe heater definitely makes sense if the car owner has an equipped garage or the opportunity to use the electrical network in the car park, in which case this is an excellent solution.

Block-type electric preheater installed in the cylinder block or oil pan. The absence of many meters of wiring and hoses makes them extremely convenient and efficient heating elements. They act pointwise, they heat exactly the node that is primarily necessary for the safe and quick start of the motor. Heater control, that is, automatic shutdown when a sufficient temperature is reached, is carried out using a thermostat, or a timer. Although there are low-power models where this option is completely absent simply because they are not capable of bringing liquids to a boil, which means they are completely safe, even if you forget them turned on.

Most of these devices can be purchased as separate components, if you only need an electric preheater, or as complete installation kits for installation, from Atlant, Defa, Calix, Severs, Start, Alliance, Lestar. In such kits, in addition to the heater itself, the following are often available:

  • - cabin heater block, which starts to work long before the standard stove
  • - control panel, operating range up to 1000 m on average
  • - a device for recharging the battery, a completely useful addition in a snowy winter
  • - pump, for a more uniform warm-up of the motor

You can buy a 220V engine heater, with a complete installation kit, in a specialized online store, it’s hard to run into low-quality goods or marriage here, which often happens when buying spare parts in spontaneous markets or flea layouts.

So, the 220V electric engine heater makes it possible to start the engine easily and with minimal wear at any time of the year, reduces the burden on the environment and fuel consumption by up to 24%, harmful emissions by up to 71%, due to the use of safer electrical energy.

Installing an engine preheater costs an average of 5,000 rubles. It can be done both independently and contact our specialized car service. The masters will take into account the specifics of the provided cooling system and give their recommendations on the purchase and installation of a specific model or electric heater installation kit.

Varieties of engine preheaters

According to the principle of operation of PPD for gasoline and diesel engines, they are divided into two main groups:

  • autonomous;
  • electrical.

Autonomous

They use the fuel of the car itself as energy. They are more convenient, do not depend on external sources, but are more expensive. If there is no standard heater, a ready-made installation kit is installed at the service station.

Electrical

This option requires a 220V power supply. The principle of operation is similar to that of a conventional boiler, in which the coolant is heated. The circulation is carried out by gravity (the heated one rises, and the cold one goes down).

Autonomous liquid heaters are installed under the hood of the car and operate on one of the types of fuel: gasoline, diesel fuel, gas.

Longfei with pump 3 kW

Heats the coolant and makes it move through a small cycle, warming up the power unit even without its idle operation, without wasting fuel. Heating element is used for heating, circulation - centrifugal pumping equipment. These elements are located in the body of the device and operate from a household power supply with a voltage of 220 volts.

Longfei 3 kW

This model has a thermostat and power control system. When the coolant reaches the upper temperature limit, the equipment turns off. As soon as it cools down to the lower set limit, the heating and the pump automatically turn on. As a result, the engine is always ready to start and start moving.

Longfei's miniature autonomous heaters are designed to meet the needs of the market. Their dimensions are only 8 × 7.7 × 11.8 cm. The heaters are securely fastened to the branch pipes with the help of clamps, without requiring special fastening for this. They are fixed in a consistent way by cutting into the inlet tube of the interior stove. The model evenly warms up the engine at high speed. Electronics has high protection against moisture and is reliable.

The price of Lunfei is from 2390 rubles.

Eberspächer HYDRONIC 3 B4E is installed on petrol engines. Power 4 kW. On-board network voltage - 12V. Very easy to install and operate, the kit includes a CD with a description of the installation process and technical specifications.

Infinitely adjustable heating power, increased protection against water and salt, accelerated heating of antifreeze, reduced current consumption, low noise level. According to the official website of the manufacturer, this is one of the best options for a passenger car.

Severs is a budget volatile heater that runs on a standard power supply. Includes thermostat to protect against engine overheating. Heating up to 60°С is carried out in 1-1.5 hours. At a temperature of 85°C, the system stops working. If the temperature of the coolant drops to 50°C, the heater starts up again. It is noteworthy that the heater has protection against moisture and electric shock.

The only downside of Severs is that he needs an outlet, so you can use such a device only if there is an electrical outlet.

DEFA WarmUp 1350 wFutura - the maximum pre-heating system for the engine, interior and car battery charging. The system is controlled through the Futura mini-timer.

The kit includes:

  • electric cabin heater with a power of 1.3 kW;
  • battery charger MultiCharger 1203 12 V, 3 A;
  • salon mini-timer Futura;
  • set of power wires;
  • set of connecting cables.

The big advantage is that the device consists of blocks-modules and armored connecting cables. By choice, they can be installed either as separate blocks or as a whole complex.

How to warm up the engine when there is no outlet nearby? Option one is to burn your own fuel. This is how autonomous preheaters are arranged: these are small stoves that burn fuel taken from the tank and heat the built-in heat exchanger. Such a starting preheater is easy to automate - connect a timer to it, a control output from an alarm.

Teplostar prelaunch BINAR-5S (gasoline)

The BINAR-5S engine preheater is a domestic analogue of the well-known German Webasto, which compares favorably with it in price and with a wider operating temperature range - up to -45°C. It is installed on passenger cars with a liquid cooling system running on gasoline.

Users in the reviews pay attention to the fact that Thermo Top Evo Comfort, although it is intended only for heating the engine without a passenger compartment (there is a more expensive version of Top Evo Comfort + for this), wires for the interior heater function are also included in the cable braid.

The petrol version has a maximum heating output of 5 kW at the start of the engine warm-up cycle. During 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 sub-zero temperatures becomes thick, like jelly, as a result of which it becomes extremely difficult to start the engine even at -10 ° C. Someone chooses diesel of special winter grades, but it is not sold at all gas stations. Others choose a diesel engine preheater. One does not interfere with the other, but together it will create ideal conditions for any frost.

TEPLOSTAR 14TS-10, 20TSG, 15TSG are new models with a capacity of 12-20 kW designed for buses and trucks that run on diesel fuel or compressed natural gas. It is installed even on Kamaz
