What are the benefits of a campervan diesel heater?
Campervan diesel heaters are a popular choice because they are efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. However they (can) have a higher upfront cost than LPG or electric heaters.
The three big benefits of campervan diesel heaters overs LPG heaters are;
Diesel is more readily available at petrol stations than LPG
Diesel is a more efficient fuel source and burns at a higher BTU (heat) than LPG
Diesel is safer than LPG (doesn't ignite easily)
With that being said, one of the biggest drawbacks is how loud they can be when running compared to LPG heaters. They also don&#;t function as well at altitude.
Eberspacher Airtronic camper van diesel heaterIt's essential to install your diesel heater properly to ensure your safety and comfort while on the road. A poorly installed diesel heater can be dangerous and cause carbon monoxide poisoning or even a fire. This is why it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and seek professional help if you're unsure about any aspect of the installation process.
The diesel heater installation is the most common job that is outsourced to professionals. If you do not feel confident in your ability to do it yourself, getting a professional would be a wise decision.
LPG heater vs. Diesel heater
Whether you choose to go for an LPG heater or a diesel heater is up to you! Here are some stats to help you make a better decision. Note that you will be using LPG anyway for other appliances in your van such as the gas stove.
Price of fuel:
LPG is cheaper than diesel
Price of installation:
A Propex LPG heater is cheaper than a Webasto diesel heater, but more expensive than a 'chinese diesel heater'
Efficiency of fuel:
LPG is more efficient than diesel (takes longer to burn same quantity of fuel)
Safety:
Diesel is safer than LPG (the gas plumbing for LPG must be done perfectly + the storage of diesel is safer)
Time to warm up:
Diesel heater takes longer to warm up than LPG
Noise:
LPG heaters are quieter than diesel
BTUs:
Diesel contains 34% more BTU than LPG (meaning it will heat a campervan more efficiently)
Cleaning:
An LPG heater doesn't need to be cleaned as regularly as a diesel heater
Altitude:
LPG functions better at altitude (>m) than diesel
Power consumption:
LPG heaters typically take less electricity to run than a diesel heater
How does a diesel heater work in a campervan?
A camper van diesel heater works by burning diesel fuel to heat a heat exchanger. The combustion process draws in fresh air and expels combustion gases through an exhaust. The heat exchanger, which consists of a large surface area, heats up as the diesel fuel is burned. A fan then draws in air, which is heated as it passes through the heat exchanger. The hot air is then blown into the living space of the campervan, providing warmth and comfort.
Campervan diesel heaters can be connected to the vehicle's fuel tank or to a separate, auxiliary fuel tank. This makes it possible to use the diesel heater even when the engine is turned off.
Most diesel heaters also come equipped with safety features, such as an automatic shut-off if the heater overheats or if there's a problem with the fuel supply. Some models also include a thermostat or remote control, allowing you to adjust the temperature and control the heater from a distance.
Most manufacturers of camper van diesel heaters also make a petrol equivalent.
Types of camper van diesel heater
There are three types of camper van diesel heaters;
Air heaters
Air and water heater
Hydronic heater
Air heater
An air heater is the most common type of diesel heater. It is a &#;simple&#; blow heater.
Air and water heater
An air and water heater acts as both a blow heater and a water heater, all in one! The Truma Combi is a very popular model of air & water heater.
Hydronic heating
The hydronic heater is the most modern (and complicated) type of diesel heater. When we interviewed Colby and Eric (EngineersWhoVanlife.com), they told us they had installed Eberspacher&#;s brand new Hydronic AquaSystem, which has automatic altitude adjustment to m.
A hydronic heater functions as both a blow heater and water heater. But it has one extra piece of functionality which is incredibly cool. It uses waste energy (excess heat) from the engine once the van has stopped as a fuel source. This means you get &#;free&#; hot showers or heating for quite a while after you go for a drive!
Hydronic works by heating fluid (glycol), which runs through a calorifier. A heat exchanger is used for hot water, an air matrix is used for hot air.
Hydronic heating is the most efficient way to get underfloor heating in your van.
What size diesel heater should I get?
A 2kW diesel heater should be just fine for most vans. If you have a large van which you plan to use in really cold conditions, a 5kW diesel heater may be the better choice. In a house with good insulation, one sizes the heater to be about 1 kilowatt (KW) per 14 cubic metres of living space. In a campervan, we should double or triple this number.
2kW Diesel Heater
Less powerful, therefore will need to be run longer to achieve the same results as the 5kW could in a shorter length of time
In most vans, a much more comfortable temperature than the high, fast heat of the 5kW
5kW Diesel Heater
Generally only needs to run on low due to its power
You will run it on low more than the 2kW version, this means you will have to burn off the excess carbon builds up more frequently (ie. run the heater on high)
Have the option to really crank it up in sub-zero temperatures
Diesel heater carbon buildup
One of the biggest drawbacks of a campervan diesel heater versus an LPG heater is the buildup of carbon soot that can occur in the heater. This soot puts a lot of strain on the heater over time and needs to be managed carefully. The amount of soot produced by a diesel heater increases when combustion conditions are not ideal.
This typically happens when the heater is used at a higher altitude or when there is too much air restriction in the exhaust (exhaust too long, too many bends, etc).
Operation of heater to avoid carbon buildup
Avoid firing up the heater for less than 10-15 minutes
Avoid running the heater on Low for too long (especially at high altitudes)
Before shutting down the heater, "boost" it for 10 minutes (ie. turn it up to high)
The effect of altitude on a diesel heater
Altitude can have a significant effect on the performance of a camper van diesel heater. At higher altitudes (>m), the air becomes less dense, which can cause a reduction in the heater's ability to produce heat. This is because the heater's combustion process relies on oxygen from the air to burn the diesel fuel and create heat.
As the altitude increases, the oxygen levels in the air decrease, which can lead to incomplete combustion and reduced heat output. This can cause the heater to run less efficiently and potentially even shut off entirely - this is due to the excess carbon build up that happens at altitude.
You can sometimes buy a heater which has built-in altitude adjustment, though frequently it comes at an additional cost. Alternatively, you could purchase a high-altitude kit for your campervan diesel heater.
In some cases, manual modifications are required to adjust the fuel-to-air ratio to ensure proper operation of the diesel heater at higher elevations.
How much battery do I need for a diesel heater?
The power consumption of a diesel heater is typically measured in watts or amps, and can range from around 5 watts for a small heater to 50 watts or more for a larger heater. Most diesel heaters have a low power consumption mode for when the heater is not actively heating the space, which helps to save power and extend the life of the battery. Diesel heaters can draw 8-12A on start up.
how much diesel does a diesel heater use?
Diesel air heaters have a fuel consumption of around 0.3 litres/hour for 2kW models, and 0.5 litres/hours for 4-5kW models.
Best diesel heaters
Eberspacher Airtronic, Webasto AirTop, and Planar Autoterm are three of the most popular brands of diesel air heaters for campervans.
Eberspacher Airtronic
The Eberspacher diesel heater is known for its quiet operation, low fuel consumption, and high-quality German engineering. The Airtronic range includes models that vary in power output from 2.2 kW to 8 kW, making it easy to choose the right size for your campervan. The Airtronic also features an automatic altitude adjustment system that ensures efficient operation even at high altitudes. However, the high cost of Eberspacher heaters can be a drawback.
Webasto AirTop
The Webasto diesel heater is another German brand that has been around for over 75 years. Its AirTop range includes models with power outputs ranging from 0.9 kW to 5 kW. The AirTop is known for its low noise level.
Planar Autoterm
Planar Autoterm is a brand that gained popularity in recent years due to its lower cost verses Webasto and Eberspacher. The Autoterm range includes models with power outputs ranging from 2 kW to 9 kW, making it suitable for larger campervans. The Autoterm is also known for its efficient operation and low fuel consumption, making it an economical choice. However, the Autoterm is relatively noisy verses it's more expensive competitors.
Chinese diesel heater (Budget option)
When it comes to buying a camper van diesel heater, you may be tempted to opt for a cheap Chinese diesel heater instead of a more reputable one like Eberspacher or Webasto. While Chinese diesel heaters can be more affordable, there are some drawbacks to consider. Chinese brands may have lower build quality and may not meet safety standards in some regions. They may also be more prone to malfunction or break down over time, which could be a serious safety hazard if you're relying on your heater to keep you warm in cold conditions. Finally, they may not have a warranty or support like the other options.
With that being said, these are incredibly popular and many people have used cheaper diesel heaters for many years without any problem.
Here&#;s a rough diesel heater price comparison:
Diesel heater price comparisonDiesel heater safety and regulations
Below I have supplied some key safety information for a typical 12V diesel heater - note specifics may differ depending on manufacturer. I have also included some guidance from the BS EN : standards, which discuss LPG regulations (which will also be useful here).
The information provided in this guide is provided solely as a high-level resource for information - and not as a single source of truth. I am not a certified gas fitter, nor do I hold myself out to be. The information provided below is a collection of publicly available information that I have consolidated - while I have done my utmost to provide the correct information, there may be mistakes in this information.
Here are some things you should be aware of:
Heater must be installed inside the campervan.
The heater must not be used when the vehicle is in motion
The exhaust and inlet must be routed outside the van
The exhaust should be somewhere where it will not be sucked back in by the air inlet or through a window!
The exhaust needs to vent out from the edge of the van. If not vented away from the edge, carbon monoxide could collect under the van and be sucked back in the air intake.
The exhaust pipe should slope down (to prevent condensation build-up on the inside of the pipe)
The air intake pipe should also slope down (If it rains, the pipe can fill with water and the heater will fault)
Never trim the air intake / exhaust pipes.
The exhaust and air intake should be at least 50cm away from each other to prevent recirculation of bad air.
Please make sure you install a carbon monoxide alarm in your van. This is critically important.
Campervan diesel heater tips and tricks
You will need to prime the fuel pump the first time you start up your diesel heater. Follow manufacturer&#;s instructions for information on how to do this (normally on the control panel)
You can expect the heater to be smokey the first time you fire it up. Whether it&#;s burning off excess fuel from over priming or extra oxygen that was sitting in the lines, it&#;s completely normal
Diesel heaters are well known for the &#;ticking noise&#; they produce. You can buy a silencer to reduce this noise. Install it at a 45 degree angle for maximum benefit
Being able to start your diesel heater remotely from your is a really handy feature. Have a warm van ready for when you get back from the hills! The ModemQstart takes a sim card and allows you to operate an Autotherm heater remotely
Running a diesel heater on a low temperature is not great for the heater, especially at high altitude. If you are running the heater on low heat, run it on high for 10 minutes before turning it off
A diesel heater should be serviced every one to two years depending on frequency of use
How to fit a diesel heater
Here is the secret to a bomber 12V diesel heater installation: Read the manual. Installation differs between models and a poor installation will only lead to headache down the road. This chapter gives an overview of the installation and is not meant to be a replacement for the instruction manual.
Diesel heater installation diagramStep #1: Mount the camper van diesel heater
Before you start, decide on the best location for your diesel heater. This will depend on factors such as the size of your campervan, the layout of your interior, and the type of heater you have chosen. Consider mounting the heater in a location where it won't take up too much space, but also where it can provide maximum warmth to the living area. The heater should be installed in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and heat-sensitive components.
A 12V diesel heater is commonly installed under the front seats, on the opposite side to the sliding door. This can reduce the noise from the heater if it's behind a bulkhead. It is also a little safer due to the separation from the back.
Chinese diesel heaterTo mount the heater, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Some diesel heaters come with a mounting plate that needs to be bolted to the floor, while others require brackets or screws to attach to the interior of the campervan. Make sure that the heater is securely fastened and positioned correctly, and leave enough space around it for proper ventilation and maintenance.
Step #2: Install the Fuel Line
The next step is to install the fuel pickup line. You have two options for doing so;
Option #1 - Primary tank: Drop the diesel tank down on jacks to access the lid and install the fuel line. The method of installing the fuel line differs depending on the van. The Ford Transit is relatively straightforward as it has an auxiliary fuel port pre-drilled (you can purchase a connector kit to attach to it). Other models of van may not be so straightforward and will require you to drill your own port (drain the tank first).
Option #2 - Auxiliary tank: Use a small, separate diesel container which you can install inside your van. If you're installing a separate fuel tank, make sure to choose a location that's easily accessible for filling and draining.
Fuel pump & filter: You will need to install a fuel pump to ensure that the diesel fuel reaches the heater properly. You should install the pump at an angle between 15°-35° (differs between models). Install the fuel pump as close as possible to the fuel tank. You should also install a fuel filter between the pump and the fuel source to remove any contaminants from the fuel which could break the pump or heater.
When securing the fuel pump, place a thick rubber gasket between the pump and the affixing structure. This will minimise any vibration from the fuel pump. &#;Quick fists&#; are commonly used to reduce vibration.
If you are using an auxiliary tank, you may need to drill a hole in the tank and install a quick disconnect fitting in the tank.
Step #3: Install the diesel heater exhaust pipe and air intake
Once the fuel line is installed, it's time to install the diesel heater exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe should be routed outside the campervan (facing towards the rear of the van) to vent the exhaust gases safely. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the exhaust pipe is properly installed and secured. Make sure not to install the exhaust beside the door or you&#;ll breathe in a bunch of nasty fumes.
You will need to drill through the floor to install the diesel heater exhaust pipe and air intake. You will need to attach a bi-metal holesaw to your drill. Apply some metal paint to the bottom of the van where you just drilled to prevent rusting.
NB: Use a low RPM, tapping and cutting fluid, and a pulsating action when using the holesaw. Else you risk destroying your holesaw.
Using a bi-metal holesaw to install exhaust and air intakeThe combustion intake and exhaust length should be less than 2 metres.
Don&#;t bend these pipes too much as it restricts air movement. The smallest bending radius is 50mm and total bend is 270°.
Install the air intake facing the opposite direction to the diesel heater exhaust pipe. It should face down slightly to prevent any rain water from getting stuck in the pipe. There should be at least a 10 cm gap between the exhaust and air intake. The end of the exhaust should not exit under the vehicle; the diesel heater exhaust pipe must end outside the vehicle edge.
You can optionally install a muffler (silencer) on the exhaust to reduce noise. Though this adds quite a bit of air restriction, so is not always installed.
Step #4: Route the diesel heater ducting
Route the diesel heater ducting around your van to evenly distribute the heat. Make sure in the inlet for cool air is not beside a heat outlet.
Diesel heater ductingStep #5: Wire the 12V Heater
Wire the 12V diesel heater to your 12V batteries. You will also need to connect the heater's control panel and pump.
Step #6: Test the campervan diesel heater
After completing the installation process, it's crucial to test the campervan diesel heater to ensure that it's working correctly. Turn on the heater and check for any signs of leaks or malfunctions. You should also test the heater's thermostat and timer to ensure that they are working correctly.
If you encounter any issues, consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek advice from a professional. Some common issues include air in the fuel line, improper wiring, or a clogged exhaust pipe.
Step #7: Install a carbon monoxide alarm

The engine block heater ensures rapid heating, fuel efficiency, and fast ignition.
The engine block heaters reduce the stress of fast engine wear and annoying cold start.
The engine block heaters have many qualities. Yet, some questions remain. How can you get a high-quality and reliable engine block heater?
Well, that&#;s exactly what you will learn in this guide. We are starting from the basic definition to the options available. We also include designs, specs, setup process, and many others too.
Let&#;s just dive right in.
Let&#;s start from the basics. What happens when you ignite the engine of your vehicle? The engine oil from the oil pan flows via the engine block, greasing the moving parts, right?
Often, the temperature may fall below freezing. As a result, the engine oil becomes thick and sticky.
So, this makes it difficult for the engine oil to flow through the engine.
If enough engine oil is not moving through the engine, it forces itself to work harder.
As a result, your engine parts can get worn out.
If you want to learn more, please visit our website Top-of-the-Line Electric Vehicle Heaters.
This is where the block engine comes into work.
A block heater is a small electric heater that works within the engine of your vehicle.
They are a type of engine-heating gadget. It works to heat up an engine, and process the applicable fluids before you start it.
This device can handle many vital tasks of your engine. The tasks depend on the surrounding climate.
Often, the term &#;block heater&#; comes up when referring to these engine heating gadgets.
Most designs entail a &#;freeze plug&#; fitted in place of the expansion plug of your engine.
The freeze plug ignites the coolant that runs in your motor.
We all know that the antifreeze does not work when you turn off the engine.
Yet, the heat from the freeze plug transmits all over the cooling system. It goes through this fluid and forms a blanket of warmth all over the engine block.
So, this freeze plug prevents the heat from cut-offs. It causes a thick, sticky mess of heat around the engine oil that stays.
After you install a block heater in your car, it will start to operate. This runs smoothly especially during cold weather and winter.
Some block heaters operate directly off your vehicle&#;s diesel or fuel supply.
But, most block heaters use electrical plugs.
Sometimes, the cord of the block heater hangs out of the grille of the car. Not to worry, you can as well find it inside the hood.
The cable plugs into an exterior extension cord. Hence, you connect this plug into an electrical outlet.
But, it may be hard to see and locate the block heater cord.
This happens often with newer vehicles. These vehicles have a covering for the electrical prongs. This covering improves the safety of the cord.
Still, there may be other reasons you cannot locate the plug.
Automobile manufacturers do not pre-install block heaters anymore. As we say this, we point towards certain newer versions or imports. Older versions may still have it, but it&#;s uncertain.
For that reason, you need to find out and buy the right plug.
In case you lack the installation skills, it is best to hire a professional. Let them do the block heater installation on your behalf.
People often set their block heaters right on the engine block. That&#;s why they usually stay dipped in the coolant fluid.
These types are more active than other models.
Yet, they are a bit hard to install. You need to have basic mechanic expertise and professional tools.
Then again, dry block heaters or bolt-on models are easier to install. Even though they are less efficient.
Thus, it is all about selecting the engine heater type that suits your needs. You also need to take the budget and expertise in the count.
It is ideal to buy an engine block heater from your vehicle&#;s dealer. So if you are buying one, make sure you contact them.
In case your vehicle company does not have one, don&#;t worry. Sometimes it is costly too. In such a situation, most aftermarket auto parts shops will be able to assist you to get a universal model.
If you really can&#;t find it, you can log in: www.RVheater.com to buy.
They will find you the one that fits in your vehicle. They do it for a percentage of the dealer&#;s price.
Let&#;s talk about one of the most different from the regular engine block heater. It is none other than the external bolt-on heater.
Here, the block heater heats the entire engine by direct contact.
This bolt-on heater heats the engine in an effective manner.
Just like other block heaters, it also heats the engine by heating the coolant.
The design of an in-line coolant heater enables it to maintain the coolant. It keeps the coolant above a specific heat to keep it in a fluid state.
This type of engine is pump-driven and always moving around the heated coolant. This way it prevents heat fog on cold.
In-line heaters are kind of vintage and indie style.
They were in wide use before. But then drain plugs, and cartridge heaters come up and become more popular.
Yet, they are still as efficient as before.
In case you are not in a position to install an ordinary engine block heater on your vehicle, it&#;s fine. An in-line heater may be a better alternative for you then.
An in-line heater is a heater that you should install in line. you do it with the engine&#;s coolant circulatory system.
In simple terms, it is a heater you are at liberty to install anywhere you wish. Commonly, you would fit it near the thermostat or at the output of the radiator.
You simply slit a segment of any coolant hose on your car. Then you can join both ends of the hose to the input and output of the heater.
The coolant will flow through the heater where it will heat up.
Do not let the name fool you. The role of an oil pan heater is not limited to oil pan only.
This type of block heater entails a plastic pad. So it encases a heating element.
You can simply attach the oil pan heater to any metal surface of your vehicle&#;s engine. Then, it will heat everything that is inside.
Now, many people takes engine oil pan as their most favorite spot. But you can as well install the block heater on the transmission oil pan.
Pre-heating the gearbox oil helps. They does it with a hard shift during cold weather
It will as well cut the overall wear and tear on the components. This affects your transmission due to cold start.
Know that you can use more than a single oil pan heater on the same vehicle.
For instance, you could use one for the engine oil. Then use the other for the transmission oil.
Even so, always use two different power cords for such a connection.
But, if you have one power cord only, you should connect the two heaters in parallel. That way you can make sure they serve to their full potential.
Connecting them in series leads to less performance. Then the two block heaters would serve at only 50% of the overall power.
This means that you will have to plug them frequently. This is to meet the same outcome as in parallel connection.
That would be counterproductive.
You need to know that a stick on heater is not as efficient as other old heaters.
Oil needs more time to warm up. Same happens when transmitting the heat to the oil pan from the heater. As a result, the oil consumes more energy as well.
On the other hand, these heaters are affordable, easy to install. You can have several of them in one vehicle.
A freeze plug heater is a relatively smaller and simpler gadget. It is to protect your vehicle&#;s engine from extreme cold.
They are block heaters that you install directly on the engine block of your vehicle. They works as a substitute to one of the freeze plugs
If you are not aware of what a freeze plug is, have a look at the rear end of your engine. Search for round metal cups on the side of every cylinder.
These plugs&#; role is to prevent your vehicle&#;s engine from crashing.
They achieve this by popping out. The coolant fluid freezes up within the coolant flows.
Freeze plug heater is one of the most usable types of engine block heaters.
Even though freeze plug heaters can be very efficient, you should be aware. The setup process can turn out to be difficult.
This is particularly tricky when you plan to move it from one vehicle to another.
The working principle of a drain plug heater is nice. It is almost similar to that of a freeze plug heater.
The difference comes in only in the process of installation.
During their installation, drain plug heaters replace the drain plug of the engine block. It does it instead of freeze plug as is the case with freeze plug block heaters.
Hands down, the Cartridge heaters are the easiest engine block heaters to install.
There is only one setback though. It is that you can install only one cartridge heater on your vehicle engine block.
On certain car models, there exists a special metal casing. It stay close to the coolant chamber.
This is normally on the engine head&#;s side. There you can always glide a cartridge heater and fasten it to a bracket.
This way of setup places the heater right beside one of the channels of the coolant. So the coolant will receive heat by thermal conduction.
You may have a design factor where the cartridge heater works as an add-on. If you do, you should not opt for this type of engine heating system.
The installation of these block heaters takes no more than 15 minutes. Then they works pretty well like any others
Still, cartridge heaters tend to cost more than other block heaters.
But, it is worth the investment. Imagine, you never have to experience leakage of freeze plug coolant with this type of block heater.
These types are like power blankets. They can hinder your engine from freezing.
They are like the electric blanket type you might love to sleep on cold nights.
What do you do to make the engine warming blanket to function? You have to plug it into a power source.
This aids them in producing enough heat. This way it is capable of preventing the engine from freezing.
Even though they function well, power blankets can be more of a headache to operate. This is less in comparison to worth.
Basically, engine warming coats are heavy duty heating blankets.
You only need to glide one beneath the hood after parking your vehicle at night. Then connect it to the power source. This way it will keep the engine of your vehicle warm all night.
There is only one type of engine heater that you can&#;t install permanently. It is none other than the Power Blankets.
This property gives you the flexibility to use it on more than one vehicle. It also lets you decide on the time you would like to use it or not.
You can also use engine warming coats as warming pads. You can use these to spread on the floor.
It is obvious that you want to perform some mechanical work inside an empty garage.
You can also complement it with a power pack. This is to give heat when winter camping by putting it under a sleeping bag or a tent.
If you need an engine heating system that you can keep and re-fit on your following vehicles.
Or, if setup bothers you, we have a solution for that too. Purchasing an engine warming blanket is your best option then.
You can temporarily place this type of block heater in your dipstick opening. This will warm up the air and oil within the crankcase. As a result, it is to prevent the cloud of the fluid during cold weather.
Warm oil offers better lubrication for a durable, smoothly-running engine.
When the climate falls below freezing, your engine might face difficulties. It then needs some aid to start. Sometimes that help comes from block heaters.
These engine heating systems are a perfect investment. They boosts the lifespan of your car and to make sure it is set to operate at all times.
There are many reasons to desire and consider buying a block heater. Below are some of those reasons and values that add on.
If you start your vehicle&#;s engine when it is freezing, it strains your engine.
In a cold atmosphere, your car&#;s oil becomes thick. This leads to some negative side effects.
First, as the oil gets thickers, the amount of work needed to turn the crank engine by the starter increases.
This leads to extended starting times of the vehicle.
Second, thicker oil cannot shoot through all the channels of the engine. They usually do it to lubricate crucial parts.
So, when you start the engine, those components rub against one another. But they don&#;t grease
These cause wear and tear on the parts. Later on they may result in damage.
Also, there are other ways your engine may receive damage. if the engine of your vehicle is running with cold components it happens too. Especially if they are not warmed and expanded to the appropriate size.
Starting becomes difficult, and this wears out your engine parts.
Moreover, it harms not only the engine but also your starter motor and battery.
The initial few seconds in a cold car can be just as stressing as for your car.
When heating your engine coolant fluid using a block heater, your vehicle&#;s cabin can suck in heat. This can happen almost right away after starting it in the morning.
The block heater needs one hour to heat the engine at the start.
The newer engine block heaters make it possible to install timers on them.
This lets you set the power of one-two hours before the time you will start your journey.
The timer can assist you to save up to about $25 on your utility bill.
In most cases, you will save up to 15% of fuel during the initial 20 Km of driving. This is of course if you install an engine block heater in your vehicle.
And if you are wondering, hybrid vehicles enjoy the 15% fuel save as well. Even though that extra 15% in fuel-efficiency is insignificant. This is because hybrids usually combust less fuel.
The bigger your vehicle&#;s engine, the greater the savings. It is that simple!
Unless your vehicle comes with a pre-fitted heater, it&#;s expensive for you.
The general cost of a block heater will be a worthy investment too. This is if you distribute the lifespan of the automobile in the long run.
The use of a block heater enables cold-weather starting. It quickens cabin warming as well as reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.
As a fact, tests are carried out in a laboratory using a dynamometer. The results show that a plugged-in motor vehicle releases:
Next, let&#;s look at the main accessories of the block heater:
The electric heating element is the main part of the heater.
After the electric heating element receives energy, they generate heat.
It transfers to the coolant inside the heater later on.
After that, the coolant will move to the engine parts to complete the heating.
The electric heating element is usually an electric heater tube. There are also block heaters that use PTC heating elements.
Inside the electric heating, the tube is an iron-chromium wire. It stays connected to two power terminals.
Wonder where they are? They stay between the iron-chromium wire and the wall of the electric heating tube.
It fills up with magnesium oxide powder. Inside the heater tube, there is almost no air present. This will extend the service life of the iron-chromium wire.
The typical service life of electric heaters can reach hours.
The power of electric heating tubes goes in a wide range. They start from 500W to W, W, W, W, and many more. They conform and can heat various engine sizes.
We offer three different types of electric heaters.
One is the ordinary electric heater, which is steep in the coolant.
The other type is a die-cast electric heater tube in an aluminum case. This protects the heater tube. This can extend the life of the electric heating tube.
There is another kind of PTC heating piece, which has fast heating up and high thermal efficiency.
The heater can rely on gravity flow to get the purpose of heating. It uses the water pump to assist the flow. This way, the heater works much better.
The block heater is set next to the engine. So, this figures out that the shape of the heater cannot be too large. And the water pump as an auxiliary device, its size should be relatively small. Thus, the power of the water pump will not be very high.
Usually, the water pump inside the engine block heater is one of a kind. It consists of a miniature magnetic pump that has the same structure as the water pump. It cleans the water in the aquarium.
The structure of the pump of the block heater is:
In a motor frame made of silicon steel sheet, there are two coils. Then in the position of the head of the silicon steel sheet, there is a magnet of ferrite. This magnet is set inside the stator of the pump by a stainless steel shaft. At the head of the stainless steel shaft, there is an impeller installed.
When the coil gets energy, a magnetic field builds inside the silicon steel sheet. At the position of the head of the silicon steel sheet, the magnetic field cuts the ferrite. This makes the ferrite move. As a result, it drives the impeller to rotate.
The coil will generate a high temperature when working for a long time. This requires the coil&#;s enameled wire to be heat resistant. The usual enameled wire for the cylinder heater needs a certain amount of heat. It is somewhere near 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
Many block heaters only have heating tubes and wires. They are also not paired with a heat controller due to the power being too low.
But, a block heater without a thermostat is an obvious safety hazard. It can cause antifreeze to boil or other safety incidents due to high heat.
Such a heater with a thermostat can take the heat up to 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit). This gets rid of the potential for antifreeze boiling and fires due to high heat.
The temperature controller is a temperature protection device with a ceramic body structure. Inside the ceramic body, there is a bimetal.
At the head of the bimetal, there is a silver contact. It can move, and this silver contact moves with the bimetal.
On the base of the ceramic body, there is another stationary silver contact.
At room warmth, the stationary silver contacts on the base of the ceramic body. Also, the movable silver contact on the bimetal is touching each other.
When the ceramic body detects that the heat of the heater is slowly increasing, the bimetal will bend. Also, when the heat reaches 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), the silver contact is on the ceramic base.
The silver contact on the bimetal can then completely cut off the power.
When the heat drops to 45 degrees Celsius, the two silver contacts turn the power back on.
We have two heat controllers for the heater. They attach to the zero and fire wires of the power supply. Two temperature controllers can make the heater safer.
The block heater with a built-in water pump consists of different types of fittings. There will be gaps between these fittings.
We need to seal these gaps. We use silicone rubber seals as sealing material.
Silicone rubber seals are resistant to high temperatures and abrasion. Even if the heater is not set up, you can use these seals again.
There are two options for the connection cable of the block heater.
One type of linkage is that the cable coming from the cylinder heater comes with a plug.
It connects to the power supply and the heater is able to work that way.
The advantage of this connection is that it is easy to install.
Also, it only requires placing the plug inside the cabin or next to the cab.
But, it can be troublesome to power up the heater.
You need to open the engine compartment cover or open the driver&#;s door.
Another way to connect the heater is to have a connection port on the heater.
This is compatible with our matching connection cables.
We provide two connection cables. One of them is with armor protection.
It is inside the engine slot to prevent electrical safety from the high heat.
It prevents those who can cause damage to the cable.
The other cable connects the bumper plug to the power supply.
It is a cable that makes it easier for you to operate the heater.
One side of the cable with armor connects to the heater and the other side stays on the bumper.
When you need a heater, you only need to connect the external power supply to the connector of the bumper.
Then connect the power supply, and the heater will be able to work.
Block heaters are mostly called for in many cold regions of the world. So you will need to choose the right plug style for your country&#;s standards.
We prepare for you.
The ordinary block heater has no housing, it mounts directly on the cylinder.
Block heaters with built-in water pumps usually have a die-cast aluminum ingot housing.
The block heater fills with antifreeze inside. That&#;s why this puts strict demands on the heater housing. As a result, it needs the heater housing to be leak-proof.
So, the heater housing is usually die-cast on a very high-pressure machine.
This machine is in need to completely exclude the air holes and sand holes. These holes and sand holes exist inside the aluminum coat.
After the shell die-casting, it is also necessary to do the anti-leakage treatment. Do it to the shell to ensure that the shell will not leak.
The advantage of this connection is that it may take a few extra minutes to install. But trust me, it&#;s worth the time. It will save you a lot of time later on in the process.
Understanding how to operate a block heater is like a rite of passage for everyone.
The climate often changes. They even fall below the freezing point and where winters are very harsh.
You realize you are living in a cold region of the world when you observe in detail. Small plugs hang from the grilles in such climates. It happens to almost every vehicle on the road in winter.
Ever wonder what those dangling cords are?
Or how does an engine block heater work?
It is a fascinating, yet simple gadget that has presumably saved more engines. It also helps more people get to work on time. This is faster than any other motor vehicle add-on that is winter-specific.
Thermosiphon circulation and Forced-flow circulation heaters increase the engine coolant heat. Their work is to maintain the heat of the engine block.
The difference between these two is in the technique of circulating the engine coolant.
A thermosiphon circulation is a heater. It serves with the passive change of heat. It relies on natural convection. Also, it helps the flow of fluid in the absence of a mechanical pump.
When an engine block heater applies this tool, it gets some issues. It has a slow coolant flow. It also functions as a raised supply temperature.
This enables the thermosiphon effect.
A lab test finds out that, thermosiphon heaters a sign. It shows the coolant hitting a boiling hot surface.
This leads to hot spots and localized coolant evaporation. It also takes extra care.
Also to service and efficiency problems, thermosiphon block heaters often get installed sub-optimally. It cuts off proper rise to the hoses. This all stops the natural flow.
Forced flow spread heating systems use a pump. This flow coolant across the heating part and the engine.
Block heaters using this technology can keep a constant temperature. This way they don&#;t overdo any spot. Hot spots in the hoses and engine need such care.
This block heater type also hinders low-coolant alarms. Along with coolant boiling, and coolant concentration problems.
These types of block heaters need current as the outer source of power.
Let&#;s have a quick look at how it serves.
The engine block heater has a heating element in it. It is within the engine block.
You can connect the heating part to an external power supply using its external cord.
Electric block heaters can swap one of the core plugs of the vehicle.
In most cases, the system gets fitted by diving the heating element in the engine&#;s coolant.
It keeps the vehicle&#;s engine warm by heating the coolant.
Typically, electric engine block heaters lack pumps.
Nonetheless, there exist those fitted with pumps. This assists in the flow of the warm coolant all over the vehicle engine.
With these engine block heaters, there is no need for an exterior power supply to warm up the engine.
They are some of the most convenient block heaters since you can heat up your engine anywhere and anytime.
As the name suggests, these engine block heater types operate on diesel or gasoline.
You can operate the heaters on either gasoline fuel or the diesel of your vehicle.
In this type of block heater, either the diesel or gasoline combusts to generate the heat needed to warm the engine block.
The block heaters have a pump, which transmits gasoline or diesel to the combustion chamber.
Air-fuel mixture takes place in the combustion chamber.
The mixture ignites and combusts to generate heat as soon as it gets to a certain threshold.
Transfer of the heat generated to the engine then takes place via heat exchanger.
Typically, these block heaters employ thermosiphonprinciple to run.
In this concept, engine heater system preheats the engine coolant fluid by convection.
The heated coolant will consequently move upwards through the hoses to the engine of the vehicle.
On this account, the rising air dislodges the cold coolant that flows down into the block heater system.
The cycle goes on and on till your vehicle&#;s engine attains a suitable temperature.
For optimal performance and reliability, you should determine:
If undersized for the use, these standardstipulations may lead to low-temperature alarm signals and an engine that fails to start.
In summary, engine block heaters mainly function under forced-flow circulation and thermosiphon circulation concepts.
Nevertheless, some block heaters entail advanced working technology to boost efficiency.
There exist different kinds of block heaters. The type you select will rely on the make and model of your car. You should also take your mechanical powers into the count too.
The basic type of engine block heater is the one that swaps the oil dipstick.
A modestly more complicated block heater type mesh into the upper radiator hose.
You can install it within minutes using a screwdriver.
The most efficient types of block heaters substitute a drain plug. It is located at the bottom of the engine block.
Engine warming blanket and dipstick block heaters are easy to install. You can also transfer them from one vehicle to another.
Actually, installing a dipstick heater is much easier than checking your car&#;s oil.
There are also other types of block heaters in this line. The in-line coolant heaters are examples of those. They are easy to install if you are familiar with a vehicle engine.
But, you would rather get a professional to set up in the traditional way.
What if you want to do it by yourself? You certainly can. It&#;s just there are some elements that you need to keep in mind. You need to resolve them to do the set up by yourself.
Each engine block heater comes with an electrical cord. You need to route within the engine compartment safely.
In any event, the cord comes into contact with moving parts. Such as the belts or pulleys. They can get damaged.
If such a scenario occurs, your block heater will not function, or even short circuit the next time you power it on.
Let&#;s look at the general guidelines for installing an engine block heater type above.
Working on a cold motor vehicle will stop you from having burns.
But operating on a warm engine? It enables you to easily detach the drain plugs. Even in case the metal used to make them is different from the engine block.
Select the alternative that you are comfortable working with.
Block heaters have different wattages.
So, choose one that meets your needs and is in harmony with your car.
Jack up the forepart of the vehicle and detach the plastic casing of the engine.
Before you do this procedure, there are some essentials to do. You need to confirm with your user&#;s manual for guidelines specific to your block heater.
You have to detach the clips holding the cover. It stays with the radiator and bolts holding the mounting bracket.
Glide a pan below the engine of the vehicle and pull out the marked drain plug.
This is normally located at the back end of the engine block. Take out the cap of the radiator to fasten drainage.
Pre-fit the joint between the power cord and the heating rod if you have to perform it blind later.
Put the male tip of the cord into the engine compartment.
Oil the rod or hole using grease up to, but not beyond the metal clip.
Lodge the rod inside the hole, and in case the trapped air is exerting resistance, use more grease to displace it.
You should place the metal clip so that it faces the back of the vehicle.
It will produce an audible snap if the block heater glides into position.
Some types may need you to fasten them. Do it by using a wrench to a particular torque.
Fix the cord onto the rod. Route the wire harness via the engine compartment and out through the front grille.
Make sure you adhere to the stipulated instructions or improvise.
Ensure you do not move any hoses or parts.
Once you have placed the cord in the right position, tighten it using wire ties.
You should not leave any looseness behind the first tie.
Also, you need to ensure the cable does not come into contact with the engine manifold.
You now own a car that will be more fuel-efficient!
The best way to run a block heater is up to the heat you are working.
In some cases, you may live in a region where it becomes cold to freeze up. This way you antifreeze and fracture your block.
Then it is wise to plug your engine block heater anytime you park your vehicle for some time.
You should always plug in a block heater overnight. Do it if the heat is to drop below levels of your user level.
Still, if you happen to be in an area that provides power outlets for block heaters, plug in and make it easy.
Besides, it will reduce wear and tear on your vehicle&#;s engine. This happens even if you are not parking overnight.
On the other hand, the scenarios can be different. It can be normal where it does not get extremely cold, capable of cracking your engine block. Then you can always cut costs of electricity by employing a timer.
You can set the timer to power on the block heater 3-4 hours before you get into the car every morning.
Doing so will help you void the wastage of electricity for overnight heating.
But you will still enjoy the advantages of an easier and quicker start. The hot air from the vent is much faster, and reduced wear and tear on the engine.
Block heaters often find use in areas with cold winters. Such as Canada, northern United States, Scandinavia, and Russia.
In these regions, It is standard to have block heaters in vehicles.
In extreme cold weather, you will find electrical outlets a lot. Most of them are in private or public parking lots. You can select the one multi-story car park.
Certain parking lots switch the power supply for about 20 minutes. It also switches off for about 20 minutes. This way it reduces the costs of electricity.
If you&#;re planning to buy a black heater, you need to confirm the following technical specifications:
Depending on the type of block heater, it may use electricity or fuel.
The fuel may include gasoline or diesel.
Typically, block heaters come in different voltage rating.
The most common rated voltage fall range from 110V &#; 120V/220V &#; 240V; 12V/24V
Just as rated voltage, the rated power of block heaters is not always similar.
They are different depending on the kind and size of the engine block heater you desire to buy.
The rated power may range from 500W, W, and W, W, W or even higher.
We can even customize cylinder heaters with special power according to your requirements.
Because of the inbuilt temperature sensors, the block heater will automatically halt operation when the temperature hits 65°C.
The engine heater will resume operation when the temperature falls below 45°C.
They differ based on the heater&#;s design.
Nonetheless, most block heaters have their weight ranging from 1Kg to 2Kg.
The safety should be your top priority when shopping for an engine block heater.
For this reason, make sure that the engine heater you are planning to purchase adheres to the RoHS, FCC, TUV, and CE requirements.
If your engine block heater breaks down during cold weather, you will need to perform some speedy repair to have your car up and running properly.
As I have already stated, a block heater helps in keeping your vehicle&#;s engine warm during cold days.
This enables it to fire up without troubles due to cold start when you power the engine on.
VVKB Engine Heater with In-built Pump
This mechanism is practical with majority other diesel engines, and on other vehicle models that incline to have congealing problems with the oil or other fluids within the motor.
Locating the source of the complication on these devices would entail inspecting the electrical outlet to your garage or home to make sure it is not a bad wired connection or blown circuit.
The initial step in repairing your block heater is checking the power cord to make sure it is working correctly.
To perform this, connect the power cable to a working outlet, and confirm whether the coil and the heater unit are becoming warm.
If the heater does not warm up, then you might be having a broken power cable.
Driving away with the cable still plugged in, or it getting pinched or entangled in something are some of the causes of this problem.
This is always the first area to inspect and ensure to observe and confirm that the power cord connection to the heating unit is done correctly.
Poor connection to the block heater could as well lead to a complication with transmitting the right voltage.
The next frequent problem relating to engine block heaters would probably be the heating unit, which others sometimes refer to as the heater coil unit.
This is the electrical attachment of the block heater, and you can easily replace it by unfastening a few screws.
Simply remove the old unit, and then connect your cable to the new one before reinstalling it.
As you take out the wiring and related connections on the power unit, make sure you label the wires to avoid confusion when you will be reinstalling them.
When working with the electrical parts and components on your vehicle, ensure to detach the negative terminal of your battery to prevent electrical shock.
If during the repair of your engine block heater, you do not realize any electrical problems, and the device is still not working correctly, there are higher chances that it is the block heater leading to the complications.
You can easily remove this part from the engine, and the technique of carrying out this is ordinary, and you can execute it without much hassle.
You will have to drain all the oil and excess fluids from the engine of the vehicle before detaching the block heater to prevent a serious mess of things during the exercise.
Remember to label all the electrical connections during the process of disconnecting the old unit.
Keeping track of the connections help you avoid electrical cross wiring.
The replacement parts varying in prices.
They usually come with guidelines on how to correctly assemble them, since some of the process can differ based on the make and model of your vehicle.
A faulty thermostat can lead to too little or too much cooling.
When it is thrust open, the engine will require quite some time to warm up since the coolant will flow at all times.
You can take out the thermostat and probe it in a basin of almost boiling water.
It ought to open slightly before the water hits the boiling point, then shut as the water cools.
You should replace the thermostat if it does not move.
The only method to fix a faulty temperature sensor or thermostat is to substitute it.
If the coolant level is low, or there exist an airlock (after substituting any faulty parts), you ought to fill the system appropriately.
To carry out this, tune the block heater controls in the vehicle to maximum heat.
Take out the radiator lid (or remote mounted coolant pressure lid, at times on the overflow tank) and top up to the right level.
Now turn on the engine without returning the lid and idle for some minutes.
Check for the level of the coolant to fall as the thermostat opens.
With the engine still running, maintain the coolant topped up to the maximum level.
Compress the top radiator hose to promote the pumping of air around the system (ensuring that you avoid contact with any moving parts, specifically the radiator fan).
You should force out all the air between the water pump and the engine heater.
Once the coolant is full and warm, return the lid and test drive.
At times, you may consider the following preventive measures for your block heater:
Regularly examine hoses and replace if need be.
Once every year:
