Car salon heater - an indispensable device for motorist in winter. A large range of products, which is presented in the automotive market, allows everyone to choose a suitable model. About this further in the article.

Heating car salon

Warming a car in winter occurs quite quickly, but the motor heats up faster than the windows are thawed and the interior is heated. The standard car heater uses the heat of the motor, but when the power unit is started in winter, the stove goes to the optimal mode of operation only after 15-20 minutes.

During this period, the engine warms up, but in very cold weather the air temperature in the cabin remains low enough. However, the main problem is that the stove does not give enough heat to quickly catching up windows, so the motorist has to wait for a while until the ice on the glasses melts.

Salon car heater

All heaters, regardless of the type, have a similarly simple device, which repeats the thermal gun device. The base of the heater is the case. It is usually plastic. It has a fan and heating element. Also, the device can be equipped with the simplest automation (in order to shut down when a certain temperature is reached) and heating controls.

The principle of the heater is also simple: with the help of a fan, cold air is sued into the heater and its run through the heating component. For more efficient operation, the heating component is made in the form of a plurality of cells or thin plates. Thus, the best heating is achieved with small heater sizes.

The heater package may include legs to install it on the car dashboard, pull-out handles that allow you to use the device as a hairdryer, blinds to guide the flow of air, and so on.

car heater

When choosing a heater for the car, pay attention to the number of main points:

1. Power cord length. Often the heater is included in the power cord one meter long, which is sufficient in most cases. However, for cars with a bulk salon, it is advisable to choose a device with a longer cord so that it is possible to warm up passenger places in the back seat.
   
2. Ability adjustment. The ability to adjust the power of heating and other parameters is a good advantage of the heater.
3. Type of heater. The best solution is a ceramic heating element, as it is fireproof, durable and reliable. Yes, and works more efficiently.
4. Power. As a rule, the power of heaters varies from 150 to 300 W. But it should be understood that very high power is not always needed, because the onboard power grid can simply not withstand high current.

autonomous heater

The autonomous salon heater is a device, heating air in the TC cabin, or its working fluids, regardless of the engine operation. Depending on whether they are intended for heating, all autonomous heaters can be divided into three types:

• Liquid. Capable to warm up both the fuel system, which is very important for diesel cars and the cooling system, if the latter is not activated by the engine. Also can be used to heat the cabin, windshield and thawing locks.
• Air. He is warm only the air in the cabin. Often are a conventional fan that blows heat.
• Oil. Sold the oil line of cars, which also simplifies and speeds up the launch of the motor in the frosty time.

air heater

Basically, it does not have additional functions and is intended only for heating the cabin. According to the principle of operation, it is similar to the usual household hair dryer. When combustion of fuel in this device, heat is highlighted, heating the incoming cold air. The heater is installed in the cabin, and nozzles are provided for removal of spent gases. The combustion chamber is also sealed.

Benefits of the system:

• Easily installed.
• It has a simple design.
• Consumes minimum fuel.
• Does not discharge the battery.
• It may continuously work during the day.

Disadvantages of the system:

• Do not heal the motor.
• With a long application, moisture significantly reduces.

Fuel Preheating

Installed inside the engine. The heater must be enabled before starting the power unit. From disadvantages you can note a fairly high fuel consumption. Advantages: High efficiency, quickly heats not only the power unit, and the car's interior. On some models there is an opportunity to run it from the phone or remote control.

Preparation electric heater

Just just equipment. As a rule, in the car, such a heater warms up little or antifreeze, which allows the machine to easily start. To enable this device, you just need to connect it to the outlet. However, not every driver has the ability to park its car next to a 220 volt socket. Of the advantages can be noted relatively cheap operation, since the device does not consume fuel, and ease of use.

Salon gas heaters

Work through the use of liquid gas. Due to its combustion, a fan is launched, which provides natural air circulation in the cabin, warming it to the desired temperature. To speed up the heating process, in some cases additional fans are used. Such heaters can work even when the engine is turned off and without connecting to the car power grid.

Diesel models of autonomous car heaters machine

Diesel models have one disadvantage - the fuel used for functioning can be subjected to the negative effect of negative temperatures, as a result of which it is also difficult to run such a device in the cold, as well as the diesel engine itself. The advantage of diesel autonomous heaters is that often modern designs of the device at a minimum are used by the battery, which is very important when traveling in winter time.
