What it heats and how it works
The heater is designed to warm engine coolant, with compatibility for water and other suitable fluids in supported systems. It uses the thermosiphon principle, which means no pump is required to circulate the fluid. This simpler flow path reduces moving parts and can simplify installation on many vehicles and machines.
- Applications include diesel and gas engines, construction equipment, trucks, marine vessels, and industrial machinery
- Heats engine coolant, water, and other compatible fluids
- No pump needed thanks to natural circulation (thermosiphon)
