Preheater 220. What heater is better for the engine: electro or autonomous

Often in winter drivers face a lot of difficulties. And the main one is not always the perfect launch power aggregate. To solve this task, a special device was created - the engine preheater 220V with POMPE. Such a device is not easy guarantee a stable motor start under all weather conditions, but also to reduce exhaust harmful emissions Environment. Some of the models of electrical heaters due to their action allow you to save a decent amount of fuel. In addition, friction between the elements of the engine is significantly reduced, and therefore the most gentle details wear much slower. And this is the best way to affect the working qualities of all auto units.

Such a device is an ideal option for motorists living and operating a vehicle in cold climatic regions, where engine launch problems in frosts are always relevant. But the car owners living in the regions with a softer climate often install the heated engine 220V with a pump for use in frost.

Auto-heater

In the 80s of the last century, the release of such devices at the industrial level was not yet so actively established. Therefore, many motorists have attempted to make electric heating on their own. At that time, in special stores it was possible to purchase a pallet of the Carter to the Moskvich car, which was equipped with an electric heater, mounted directly into it.

If in the past it is possible to talk about single attempts to manufacture electrical heaters, then in this many manufacturers an industrial production of such devices has been established.

The number of cars every year significantly increases and most of them remain "spending the night" in the open air - parking lots, parking in the courtyard at home and other not adapted for this place. Therefore, it can be argued that the relevance of the use of the engine preheater for them is not lost, especially in frost.

Important! Apply an open source of fire or household heating devices for heating and further starting the engine in the frost is unsafe, as it can lead to a fire.

Details about car heaters

Device and scheme

The device of the auto-electro-heater

The electrical heater is a tubular heater placed in a metal housing. It consists of the following elements:

1. At the bottom of the design and the top cover of the device are located gaskets-compactors.
2. Special temoregulator The temperature mode is monitored inside the system.
3. Electromagnetic pump (pump)operating from the electric drive.
4. Rubber ring Under the base of the pump.
5. Impeller At the bottom of the electric heater, with the flange attached to it.

In addition, there are 2 removal in the housing, with which the connection to the cooling system of the power unit is connected. Due to reliable sealing gaskets in the device, all sorts of leaks are excluded. And, as mentioned above, the work of such a device does not throw in the environment of harmful substances.

The principle of operation of the electrical heater

Typically, auto-heaters are put in the cooling system of the engine. At the same time, a coercive circulation of the cooling composition with its simultaneous heating is carried out. Thanks to this process noticeably Engine heating is accelerated to optimal operating temperatures..

Scheme of heater

The electrical heater begins to work when connected to the power supply with a voltage of 220V. That is why it is advisable to leave the car where it is possible to connect the device to power (with the help of extension cord or other means). After connecting the device, a tubular electric heater starts to work, the main task of which is to increase the temperature of the coolant. Heated toosol / antifreeze with pumps is supplied to the cooling system. In addition, the impeller is also involved in the supply of heated fluid.

This ensures continuous circulation of the coolant inside the system. At the same time, the warming of the power unit is uniformly, but not fast. The thermostat controls the permanent maintenance of optimal temperatures and, if necessary, they open the contacts, which leads to the termination of the supply of electricity to the device.

Package device

Standard the preheater preheater kit contains Special bracket (1 piece) and fasteners (bolts, nuts, engraving and ordinary washers). To improve fixation, the device is also equipped with an intermediate sleeve. To connect the tee to the cooling system, fittings are attached with marking (for example, in a modification designed for voltage 220V, the Marking of K14 is the diameter). To protect the device when installing installation work, nylon elastic homethers ("worm" and for a screed) are supplied to the preheater. In addition, some models of electrical heaters are equipped with a sleeve of small sizes.

Grade heater

What affects the power of the electrical heater

The power of this device directly depends on the limiting frequency of the device. As a rule, this value is 50Hz, although there are some deviations. In addition, in the calculation you need to take the diametrical size of the piston, which directly affects the circulation rate of the heated fluid.

In this case, the operating power indicator determines the optimal temperature set time: the higher it is, the faster the heating process occurs. As a rule, the coolant is heated to a temperature of 60 ° C per 3 min.

And yet, at the power of the preheater, which should be well strengthened and not exposed to blowout, affects its location.

Installing the preheater

Before starting to install it is necessary to carefully examine the scheme and device of the cooling system of its machine. Since it affects the method of mounting the electrical heater. In addition, much will depend on the modification of the device itself, but exist general rules Installation.

Scheme installation of heater

First, it is important to understand that the device must be connected to a single-phase network.. And be sure to ground contact. This is done using an automatic shutcher having protection against electric current. Some recommended when installing the device to use the shutdown system. This device makes the process as safe as possible and reduces the risks of lesions by the current when performing work.

Remember! Any closure of wiring often becomes a cause of fire. Knowing this, during the work should not be touched by uninsulated equipment.

Starting the installation of the electrical heater, it is necessary to inspect the cooling system. The device is practical always connected from cylinderswhere it is provided with a pipe with a diameter of 20mm. Place the device in a horizontal position. As a result, it should be lower than the level of the radiator. This must be done to exclude the enclosure of the device. We clarify that if necessary, the installation site of the electrical heater can be changed, but this will require an additional hose (usually included to the device it includes). After joining the device, it must be secure on the housing. Although, sometimes, it is quite difficult to implement it.

A gross mistake is considered to fix the preheating on the silencer collector. Since it is unsafe and leads to fire vehicle.

In principle, installing this device is not too complicated, but, having even minimal doubts about the correct implementation of all actions own forces, it is advisable to contact the masters of the car servicethat will make all the work quickly and efficiently.

Automotive electric heater

Key features of the electrically heater

TO the most important characteristics Preheater the following indicators include:

1. Power - Unit of measurement of this value of kW. For example, a modification with an indicator of 1.5 kW will heat the coolant for 3.5 minutes. And the increase in power up to 2kW allows you to get the necessary temperature for 3min.
2. Another important indicator is type of electric current and its maximum frequencymeasured in Hz. The temperature value of the thermostat is depends on this indicator.
3. The value of the circulated flow measured in l / s. It depends on the diameters of the input and outlet holes. Usually nozzles have diametrical size 12mm.
4. But in the sizes of the device itself strong differences are allowed. On average, the device has a length of 15 cm, width and height of 9 cm.

It is advisable to mention the classification of the degrees of the system protection system for the preheating device. For example, the most common models have label "IP 34". This indicates that the device is safe when operating, and short circuits in the network are excluded.

When buying an electric heater for a car, you must pay attention to the forks. Today, almost all Russian manufacturers of such devices equip their products with an element made according to the Eurostandard. The average mass of the device is 1kg. Note that a good preservation device with a pump running from a 220V network has a price of 4000 rubles.

Preheater

In addition, the device can be added a variety of highly useful equipment. Suppose you can put the start timer, remote control, recharging the battery, fan heater to the cabin, etc. But it will cost more than 25,000 rubles, not counting the installation costs.

About advantages and disadvantages

Benefits of electrical heaters

• for a long time - Due to low power, the device does not need constant control (it does not harm it, so it can work without a break and 8, and 12 hours);
• operating safety - Usually, a special thermal insulation material is included in the device, which protects insulation and located near the wires from melting, in addition, it prevents the spread of energy, increasing the efficiency of the device;
• easy when installing.

Preparation electric heating

Disadvantages of electrical heaters

The main minuses of such a device is for a long time of heating and dependence on stationary power supply in 220V. For example, at a temperature of 0 ° C overboard the car, the device having a power of 600W will warm up the engine approximately an hour, and if the temperature drops to -8-10 ° C, the heating time increases to 2 hours. At the same time, buying a budget device with a capacity of no more than 500 kW, the motorist should be ready for a longer heating time.

Preheater - device, indispensable for most drivers in the cold season. Thanks to a simple, but efficient device, the start of the engine at a minus temperature will occur in minutes. But at the same time you do not have to warm it up for idling.

Many will probably think that it is impossible. After all, the engine warming during the cold period of the year is simply necessary, and for this you need to start the unit and stand for some time with the engine center. Only after that you can touch from the place, and that without accelerating to high speed.

This process usually requires considerable time and gasoline. And the lower the temperature ambient, the longer you have to warm the engine. Of course, this factor does not very benefitly affect the environment. A reasonable alternative is the installation of the pre-heater for the motor. Next, we will tell you how this mechanism acts and how it can be installed on your car. And at the same time - on the features of the operation of the premise mechanism. Also provide video to install the preheater 220V on the car.

What is the engine preheater

Before installing the mechanism on your car, it should be understood in principle of its action. The fact is that the heater heats up not the aggregate itself, but antifreeze fluid. It works as follows: The tungsten spiral is placed in a special block.

It is placed under the engine, it works temporarily until the mechanism is warmed up, and the car will not start working in its usual mode. That is, the device performs the same function as the long-term heating of the engine, only the fuel is not spent. It is enough just to turn on for a while, after which you have a car and start moving.

Regardless of the gasoline or diesel, the car is running, the device will be equally effective for both types of motors. A particularly relevant preheater is for diesel units that are much more complicated at low temperatures than gasoline.

What are the engine preheaters

At the moment, we will throw out the version of the self-made device, since most of the specialists are inclined to think that experiments in this area are acceptable only with certain skills and knowledge. Otherwise, they will be dangerous.

As for the heaters from the manufacturer, they are divided into two main types:

• electrical preheaters 220 V, the installation of which we will look more in more detail. One of the advantages - low cost and simplicity, because to install such a device on your car can almost everyone who wants;
• autonomous preheating heaters, for which no connection to the power supply is required. Such mechanisms are very convenient. In order to use them, just press the button. Food comes from fuel system either from gasoline located in a special fuel tank. But their cost is significantly higher than those devices that feed from the power grid.

Autonomous preheating heaters

Autonomous devices Mounted so that the machine can be started at any time of the year, at any temperature, and regardless of whether there is a 220 second socket nearby, they are easy to perform and are based on the principle of air recycling.

In general, the heater works in about the same way as the analog that operates from 220 V. The coolant is heated directly in the device block. Heated antifreeze rises over the system when it comes out of the block. In the radiator, it cools again, and through the natural circulation comes again to the heater. So the liquid circulates until the unit does not get inspired.

Depending on the characteristics of the device, it can be mounted in two ways:

• connecting to car electrical systems;
• connect to the cooling system.

In addition to standard functions, the heaters quickly warm the car's salon. You can install them in any free space under the hood of the car.

Electrical Preheaters 220 V

As mentioned earlier, the electrical heater has a pretty simple device. The entire main work performs a block with a small element designed to heat the coolant. In this case, it will be the opposite, to warm up the unit. In addition, the preheater has a power cable connected to the outlet 220 V. It is this variant of the preheater that the craftsmen are most often done manually.

Depending on the configuration, the heater can be equipped with the following options:

• device to recharge the device power battery;
• timer with thermostat;
• fan;
• remote control.

The price of the preheater is usually low and mainly depends on the availability of certain options. The circuit of the installation of the electrical preheater is quite simple. Installation does not require certain skills, because it is possible to do without a visit to the service center.

Important! The preheater operating from the network in 220 V consumes quite a lot of electricity, since the TEN installed inside the device has a sufficiently high power. Its indicator can fluctuate depending on the characteristics of the product.

How to install the preheater for 220 in your own hands

The installation of the heater does not require much time and some special knowledge. Almost every motorist can cope with the task, which knows where the main working components of the car are located. The installation process itself will take no more than 3 hours. Video instructions for installing the premium mechanism will help in performing all necessary work:

But if there is no confidence that the installation will be performed normally, it is better, after all, to visit the tokens.

When independent installation You should follow the detailed instructions. As a rule, it comes complete with the device.

Sequence of actions when installing the preheater for 220V.

Operation of heater

Often, the manufacturer promises that for complete heating of the unit will require no more than half an hour. But at low temperatures, this indicator can be from one to two hours.

The preheater, directly connected to the car stove, quickly warms not only the unit and the system adjacent to it, but also air in the car cabin. Thus, the engine preheater performs both two functions simultaneously. The engine does not need heating if the ambient temperature is +10 degrees and above. In this case, there is no need for excess electricity costs.

The problem of engine wear is one of the most important headaches of each car owner. Especially strongly on the service life of the power unit affects the launch in winter time of the year, when, because of Frost, the motor is required much more forces to get started. In order to prevent the sad outcome to simply use the engine preheater 220V with POMPA. However, do not everyone know - which model is better and why.

№2 - Sever Force + - (Russia)

The preheater "SeversE" is the pride of Russian engineers who managed to create a truly successful product, which is the perfect combination of price and quality. The device is embedded in the car cooling system and when connecting to a network, a TEN, which is located in the housing, begins to warm the circulating antifreeze. At the same time, the circulation pump is started, pumping the heated fluid through the cooling system. When the required temperature mark is achieved, automatically triggers the thermostat, turning off the TEN and the pump. Once the indicator is reduced below the set mark, repeatedly starts. This leads to the fact that the temperature of the coolant is always in the specified range. According to measurements, after half an hour of the heater, the temperature of the coolant is 70 degrees - and it is very much in comparison with competitors. The power of the device: 2kW. As for the price, everything is quite democratic here - 2100 rubles.

Thanks to the built-in sensors, the air of the cabin will be heated to a comfortable level, and with further temperature growth, an automatic shutdown occurs (55 ° C inside the device). Judging by the reviews, this device does not have any comparison with ceramic heaters working from the onboard network (their power is clearly not enough to fully warm the car's salon).

The device is an autonomous system operating on diesel fuel, and is a more affordable analogue of the heaters "Webasto". It can be put on any kind of transport - it greatly warms the salon from the car to the minibus, and also cope with heating the body space in small freight vans.

In the reviews of the owners, the compactness of the equipment is noted. Installation is quite simple and can be performed on your own. When installing on cars with gasoline engine It is necessary for your small fuel tank. The presence of a remote console is also positively, with which the temperature of the cabin can be adjusted. At maximum power (4 kW), per hour of work, the planar-44D will spend a little less than 0.5 liters of fuel. With the usual heating or a small amount of auto consumption will be only 0.12 liters of diesel fuel per hour.

Autonomous heaterMounted on the engine reduces the warm-up time to a few minutes. Many car owners will be skeptical to such a perspective. However, in practice, install the heater is much easier and more efficient than waiting for 10-15 minutes in a cold car.

Installing the heater for the engine 220V is not affected by the engine itself, but on antifreeze, significantly increasing its temperature. This is due to a tungsten spiral and a special block.

The preheater of the engine 220V, connected under the engine, does not work constantly, but only until the engine dials its operating temperature. Then, with the help of the sensor, it turns off, and the motor continues to work in the usual mode.

The owners of the diesel engine will appreciate the installation of the engine heating from 220V, since this type of motor is much more complicated at low temperatures. But on the gasoline car to put heating can be as comfortable as for a diesel engine.

Another significant plus, for which it is worth connecting the heater, is saving gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as the fastest heating of the entire cabin, which is very relevant for the owners of leather seats.

Famous types of devices

Make an engine preheater with your own hands is quite possible if there are some skills and skills. But for a start, it is necessary to figure out what they are in serial production.

Fuel heater There are two types:

• autonomous;
• electric.

Installation of the electrical heater is considered simpler. It has a small cost, and its installation is very simple. It is based on a special block that heats the unit. It works properly connected engine heating from 220 V. Complete with it often:

• battery;
• remote control system;
• thermal sensor and timer.

The installation circuit of the electrical engine heater is very simple, so it can use it every car owner. The main minus can be considered only the amount of energy consumed, which is quite high for such a device.

Autonomous preheating of the engine, made with their own hands to set much harder. Its system is more difficult, the cost is higher. They are included using the button, do not require the presence of a power supply network. The installed autonomous heating is running from the fuel system or from a special gasoline tank.

The basis of the work is based on the principle of air recycling, which allows the engine to start and quickly start moving regardless of weather conditions and the power supply network. The device warms the antifreeze, which then rises, enters the radiator, cooled and returns to the heater.

So the fluid circulates to the cazen until he warms the entire system, and she will not reach operating temperature. Autonomous heating connected to the cooling system can be installed in any place that freely under the hood of the car. And also he quickly carries out the salon heating.

Installation and installation of the device

The prospect does not expect frosty morning Extra minutes will warm the engine, it seems very tempting for car enthusiasts. Many motorists at this stage will create a question, there is a homemade heating. And how to install the heating of the engine on their own?

To understand how to make the engine preheater, first will have to come to terms that it will work from electricity. Therefore, the presence of outlets in the parking lot will be one of the operating conditions.

So, the engine heater 220V assembled with their own hands will consist of a tan, reinforcement and several fittings. The TEN must be connected to a small circle of the cooling system and supply it to the pump so that the liquid can be circulated when the engine is turned off.

Installing the engine preheater has a fairly simple instruction, and for more convenience on the Internet there are videos, step by step explaning the course of action.

The first thing that will be required to collect and install the heater is a tee for an inch tube of a standard sample. It can be purchased at any store for the sale of plumbing, you can also buy a TEN, which will also need to collect your assembly. The best option will be a TEN with an already built-in thermostat for 1.5 kW.

The TEN is installed in the end of the tee, and a decade-cated tube is mounted on the other end. It is necessary for a faster heating system. On the free output and end of the pipe, plugs are installed for further hoses.

Now the resulting part is connected to the circulation system of coolant in the car. To do this, it is necessary to find the place of the hose break from the bottom, where the output to the stove is carried out, and to embed homemade device. The cable cross section is connected to the TEN contacts, and this first step can be considered successfully completed.

This is followed by connecting the pump with which the liquid will circulate. The easiest way will be used by the pump from the gazelle, as it is universal and has a fairly affordable cost. It is connected before the heater using an open relay to the network of a car or a regular outlet.

These are the main items for which the engine heating is made.

Danger of unverified systems

If you do not have absolutely no skills to perform such work, the best option It will be the purchase of a ready-made device. How to connect heated in this case will tell the instruction that is attached to the aggregate.

With independent intervention in the engine system internal combustion And the cycle of its cooling, there is a risk of damageing some elements in the event that you know the internal structure of the car.

If the desire to figure out and independently perform all the work too large, then you should enlist the help. Usually an experienced motorist can figure out the part of the system where the heating is made and prompts the location of the necessary parts.

The easiest to use, but the most functional is the device for diesel engines of PZD. It is modest, but it works efficiently. Supports manual and automatic launch, works with toxol and antifreeze, on average power mode consumes less fuel liter per hour of work.

Pospz is able to withstand temperatures up to -45 degrees. You can install it yourself using the instruction or by contacting the nearest car service where this work will be performed in a few minutes.

Remember that any interference in the inner structure of the car must be qualified.

Before wondering how to install the engine preheater in the winter season, consult the master. An experienced specialist will help determine which model is best suited for your car, model, year of issue and run, or it is not at all heated.

Each car is unique. And it's not a fact that the heater that is wonderful to the neighbor's car will also well reduce the time of warming the engine of another vehicle. Always relying only on the authoritative opinion of the specialist.
