This device is designed to facilitate the start of the engine under conditions of low temperatures, preheating the cabin and removing ice and snow from the car before starting the movement in complex meteo conditions.- Initially, the fuel, falling into the combustion chamber of the preheater, heats the coolant in its heat exchanger.
- Then, this coolant using a heater circulation pump moves along the cooling circuit of the car engine, exercising heating both the engine itself and the heating radiator of the car interior (stove).
The entire process is fully automated - the launch and end of the warm-up is made by the timer commands and the ambient temperature sensors and the engine coolant.
There should be no fear of increased fuel consumption, Webasto, thanks to its modern technical solutions and "smart" electronics, an average spending no more than 0.5 liters of fuel per hour. And the heating rate of a passenger car usually does not exceed 15 minutes at ambient temperature -20 degrees Celsius.In brief and everything about heaters for cars, which are called the word "Webasto".
