Engine preheating is accomplished through electrical resistance heat in the form of thin pads sized and shaped to fit various parts. The pads are surface mounted with a bonding sealant/adhesive. Heated items include, engine accessory/reduction gearboxes, fluids, and attached accessories. Power is routed to the heat elements through a dedicated wiring assembly with power indication and circuit overload protection. System is self-regulating through design. Heated components reach an average state of thermal equilibrium in approximately six hours.
This preheat kit when installed will supply 555 watts with a 4.8 amp draw at 115 volts. |
