Engine heaters warm up the engine to enable easy full power starts and to stabilise the required temperature for all engines and drive systems. Engine heaters come in different types depending on the method and medium through which the heat transfer takes place. Coolant heaters heat the engine’s coolant bringing the engine to the required temperature. The circulation is either generated by a built-in pump or by natural convection. Other types instead of using forced circulation or natural convection work by immersion. Besides the engine’s coolant, oils and (bio) fuels can be heated to support the engine.
The great number of applications and industries requires multiple solutions.

The Benefits of Preheating
Protecting the Engine
At its core, engine preheating is engine protection. Preheaters are key to bringing the engine and fluids to the temperature where they are best protected from wear.
Better for the environment
There are more environmental benefits than increased sustainability. Most fuel is consumed during engine start-up until it reaches its operating temperature. Consequently, a cold engine emits more harmful substances. Preheated engines consume less fuel and lower the overall engine emissions. It is simple: Engine preheating is beneficial for the environment.
Cost and time savings
A preheated engine being less sensitive to wear, less maintenance is required. Consequently, maintenance costs go down. Fuel costs are also reduced as a warm engine consumes less fuel. By preheating your engine, you eliminate the engine warm-up time. Full engine power is immediately available, saving time in all applications. In some applications such as emergency power supplies, sprinkler systems, ambulances, rescue services, etc. this is essential.
Efficient
Heating is an important part of the overall temperature management. Thermal control is key to prolong the engine’s service life. The same is true for liquids and batteries. They also have an optimal temperature for optimal function. Extreme temperatures or extreme temperature differences result in faster degeneration. The steadier temperatures achieved through heating preserve the liquids’ qualities and batteries’ charging capacity remains at high level.
