№4 - Lunfea

Contrary to many negative reviews, Lunfea products are one of the most popular on the market. The opinions of users have separated - some prases performance indicators and a democratic price, others, on the contrary, are compiled for frequent marriage and various malfunctions. Thus, buying the device, you do not know - you will be lucky or not. However, it is worth noting that in case luck will still be on your side - you will get one of the best heaters On the market.

The power of the model is equal to 3kW, the coolant is heated by the agent, and the antifreeze run is carried out by the centrifugal pump. Nutrition occurs by connecting to a conventional power supply 220V, while there is a small defects - the cord of the model is short, so it will have to be folded on an additional extension. The question of dimensions disappears - the Lunfea can be equally successfully used for cars and trucks. In stores, the price of this heater is usually 4,300 rubles.

Preparation Heater Lunfea

№3 - Atlant (Russia)

Another product of domestic engineers has become a bronze medalist of our rating - the electric preheater of the Atlant engine. He is assembled, I must say, reliably and firmly. If you disassemble the instrument, it can be found that gaskets are located between the contacts preventing the risk of short circuits. All materials of the housing are high-quality and not flip. Wires consist of copper, and the frame of the motor made of metal plates. The heating element is a monolithic plate with longitudinal ribs.

In the work of Atlant shows itself worthy - the heating occurs quickly, due to which the deadline required by the machine for launch is 2-3 times. After starting the car rides confidently and quietly. This is the reason that the domestic product has collected so much laudatory feedback in his address. If you are looking for a decent heater, the Atlant is the best choice. You can buy it at a price of 3150 rubles.

№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.

EXTRACT SEEEATER NORSTE +

№1 - OWL.

He headed our rating the result of the works of German engineers - the OWL heater. It is assembled extremely reliably, all components are as high quality and equipped with necessary security tools. Due to compact dimensions, namely the small width of the body between the fittings of 3.5 cm, it is possible to install it directly on the hoses without resorting to the help of adapters. brackets and tees. OWL is suitable for any vehicles and engines.

Installation of the device will not be difficult for even a novice car owner. This is a huge advantage of the model in front of domestic devices. The OWL is equipped with a built-in thermostat that shuts off the heating system to achieve a temperature of 60 0 C. When it decreases to a mark of 40 0 \u200b\u200bC, the system turns on again. The performance of the device in 1.1 kW many experts were called optimal, since with such values \u200b\u200bheat from the liquid spreads in the cylinder block sufficiently slowly, so as not to provoke sharp drops of temperature and the local boiling of antifreeze in those places where its contact with the Tane occurs. It is impossible to call this model available, after all, its price is about 7,000 rubles, but this is due to a worthy level of reliability and good indicators in the work.

OWL Engine Preheater

When coldly occurs (usually for any of us, "sudden") every car owner thinks whether his car will be charged or not. And even if the battery coped with a difficult task and the "cold start" was safely implemented, with such a method of exploitation arises a number of negative consequences:

• engine details are faster wear out;
• the load on the battery increases: as a result, the service life is significantly reduced;
• the engine works for a long time on idling (A, this is not the most "useful" mode for it).

The engine heating will not only extend the "life" of the motor without repair, but also to largely increase the comfort of the use of the car in winter.

Principle of operation and varieties of preheating engine

All systems, regardless of the design, installed in cars to facilitate the start of the motor in the cold season, are heated not to the engine itself, and increase the temperature of its ambient coolant (abbreviated it is called PP). Therefore, Tosol, saving engine from overheating while dried up with pre-equipment, heats the engine elements, which contributes to the implementation of its easy launch (even with very low temperaturesoh).

According to the principle of operation, all the preheaters of engines (both gasoline and diesel) are divided into two main groups:

• autonomous;
• electric.

The first as a source of energy use car fuel. To operate the second, it is necessary to connect to 220 volts to the power supply.

Autonomous preheating heaters

This type of engine preheaters is most functional, as it does not depend on the connection to external energy sources (therefore, they are called autonomous). However, their cost is higher than electric. Install such a heated engine with their own hands, not possessing the necessary technical skills and sufficient experience, is quite difficult. In addition independent installation Such high-tech devices leads to a loss of a warranty on the car.

On a note! If you install a heater in an authorized center, then all warranty obligations are preserved.

And despite pretty high costSuch devices are widely popular. By analogy with autonomous systems of building heating, such devices are sometimes called boilers. Until recently, the most famous manufacturers of these products were German "Webasto" and "Eberspacher (Hydronic). But now, Russian firms are worthy of a worthy competition: "Binar" and "Teplostar"; as well as the Chinese "Belief".

Autonomous heating consists of:

• fuel pump;
• the rigid candle or the incandescent pin (from tungsten or cobalt);
• evaporative burner;
• combustion chambers;
• heat exchanger;
• supercharger motor;
• input and cooling fluid outputs;
• control unit.

The boiler is installed in the engine compartment and embed into the fuel and cooling system of the car. The scheme presented below helps to understand how the autonomous heater works.

When the device is turned on (with a button, signal from the timer, the remote control unit, or the GSM module), the air-fuel mixture enters the combustion chamber and is set on its plane candles (or incandescent pins). When combustion, the heat exchanger is heated, which leads to the heating of the coolant. Pump pumps toosol through the engine and radiator of the standard interior heating system. When the fluid temperature is reached, about 60 ° C automation unit turns on the cabin fan.

The "Webasto Thermo Top Evo Start" heater (5 kW), designed to install on cars with an engine capacity of up to 5 liters, with a programmable weekly timer and installation items costs about 25,000 rubles. The remote control unit (range of about 1 km) and the GSM unit (for the possibility of managing a mobile phone) are purchased separately. The installation of the certified dealer will cost no more than 8000 ÷ 10,000 rubles.

Passive electrical heaters

In Canada and all Scandinavian countries, outlets where you can connect such heater, equipped, practically all parking spaces.

We still have such a service only a few paid car parkings. And, so if you live in a private house or keep the car in the garage, then, undoubtedly, this device will greatly facilitate your life in the cold time.

The easiest technical plan and the most economically available way to perform a pre-heating of a diesel or gasoline engine before starting the winter - installing an electric heater to place one of the engine cylinder block plugs. Technologically, it is a conventional boiler for certain sizes and power. The circulation of the fluid is carried out by gravity (the fitting rises upstairs, and the cold drops down). The product selection depends on the specific engine model. The market is widely represented by devices, practically, for all car brands from a wide variety of manufacturers.

For example, the electrical preheating of the engine from "DEFA" for the VAZ-Osky "dozen" with a capacity of 550 W with additional spacer placas (for better fixation with inner The block of cylinders) and the sealing sealing ring costs 1,700 ÷ 1800 rubles. And for " Subaru Forester.»A similar device (with a threaded fastening) with a capacity of 600 W from the same manufacturer will cost 2600 ÷ 2800 rubles.

Depending on the type of plugs, manufacturers produce such devices for both the threaded installation and pressing. The model is chosen depending on the variety of engine itself.

Possessing even minimal technical skills, install such a device for engine heating from 220 in your own hands (with cable and connections for connection) is quite simple:

• partially merge the cooling fluid (usually enough 2 ÷ 2.5 liters);
• we dismantle the plug on the cylinder block (the most closely located to the central part of the engine to ensure better warming up);
• insert the heating element instead;
• we connect the electrical cable;

• a power outlet for connecting the power grid or we derive out through the radiator grille (for those who are not very worried appearance Car), or Breppy in a convenient location on the front bumper (or under it).

To make it convenient to use a similar device, you can additionally set the on / off timer.

Electric heaters with coolant circulation

Electric heaters with pumps (to ensure the circulation of heated fluid through the engine and the cabin stove radiator) allow you to evenly warm the entire engine. Although such devices are more expensive than passive electrical systemsThe effectiveness of their work is much higher. The thermostat built into the case automatically turns off the heating when the fluid temperature is reached 80 ° C.

Installation of such a device is quite simple:

• merge the cooling fluid;
• krepim device body;
• we carry out the insertion into the standard cooling system (between the output from the cylinder block and the inlet nozzle of the cabin radiator);
• fill the coolant.

The Russian engine heater from 220 V "NEXT satellite" (with a capacity of 1.5 to 3 kW, which is chosen depending on the climatic operating conditions and volume of the engine) with pump and automatic power outage costs from 2200 to 3200 rubles.

Supplementing such a device relay with a thermal sensor to turn on the stove fan, we can count on not only the easy engine start, but also breathed to a comfortable temperature of the car.

Flexible thermoplasties

The above-considered devices embedded in the cooling system do not provide heated oil in engines. This is their significant disadvantage. With severe frosts, even a good warm engine, the thickened oil is quite problematic. Flexible wrapping plates for the preheating of the engine make it possible to make a self-made device without much difficulty (in just 20 ÷ 30 minutes) an increase in oil temperature. Technologically, they are a heating element pressed between two layers of silicone. On the one hand, the plates are adhesive composition (3m), with another porous material with good thermal insulation. The power of one heating element ranges from 60 to 400 W. Such devices are released to connect to the on-board network of a car with a voltage of 12 or 24 V, or to household electrical power grid by 220 V. The cost of these products from "Hotstart" or "Keenovo" depending on the size and power is 2000 ÷ 8000 rubles per piece.

With the help of such devices, you can easily heat the engine crankcase pallet or automatic box Transmissions. One plate with a size of 127 x 152 mm and a power of 100 W is enough for a car with a motor with a volume of up to 3 liters.

Installation of such products is quite simple:

• clean the place of installation from dirt and paint;
• then remove the protective film and do not forget to glue the plate;
• at the edges we apply a layer of sealant;
• we fix the electrical wires and drag them to the location of the connection.

By installing such plates (with a built-in thermal sensor) to the car tank and fuel filter, you can create a heating device fuel system diesel engine.

The main advantages of such devices are:

• Low power consumption.
• Ability to use for heating a variety of components and car mechanisms.
• Easy installation (regular systems of the car remain unaffected).
• Autonomy (when using plates with 12 V nutrition).

In custody

What a heater is better to install on the car depends on your personal preferences, financial capabilities and parking sites. By installing the heating system from the proven and well-proven manufacturer, you will not only save time, but you will be sure that your car will start with serious frosts.

For the morning heating of the engine during the winter months, with long trips or flights, the car is equipped with means to facilitate the starting process. Raised launch prevent premature wear Engine, save time and nerves. In addition, the use of frequent heating of the motor is harmful.

Engine heaters

Preparation mechanisms for heating the engine are divided into two groups:

• stationary (gasoline or diesel) - operate autonomously, independently;
• dependent - devices independently do not work, but only from the electrical network 220V.

An example of heating equipment

Electrical heaters are produced 12V or 24V.

Electric (dependent) Heated engine is called a boiler (TEN - tubular electric heater), which heats up to a predetermined temperature cooled toosol and passes, washing the machine cooling system.

In the future, as soon as antifreeze heated to the desired temperature indicator, the equipment automatically turns off, the TEN stops heating the antifreeze.

Electrical heaters for starting are installed on the radiator. This mechanism regulates the correctness of the cooling system. Structurally in the unit such a device:

• directly the one-piece, unsolved boiler - gas feed, burning cavity, water tubes;
• burner - with two cylinders;
• pump system - electric fan, pumps for fuel and water;
• panel (shield) control;
• block - electric heater of petroleum products, nozzles, electromagnetic valve, air fitting.

The heating unit enters the car engine cooling module. The cooling agent comes through the tubes into the cavity of the boiler, where it is divided into two streams. One of them is directed through the combustion chamber of fuel and pipes, supplying gas. Cooling toosol goes inside the surface of the water shirt.

Another stream is washes on an external water jacket of pipes.

Both flow means for cooling are connected in the device housing. Next of the starting pipe enters the engine vehicle.

Operating principle

At the heart of the electric heater of the antifreeze of TEN. It warms the toosol from the battery or 220V power grid.

The principle of operation of the boiler is to connect with the power grid 220V, the result of which the substance in the housing is heated. Heating the temperature of the fluid, in turn, gives rise to pressure. The catch is overlapped with a suction pipe, the fluid is heated in the outlet. With a decrease in pressure in the motor, the valve opens and gives the means to get into it by the inlet nozzle.

Thus, the effect of targeted thermosifer circulation from the heater to the cooling system appears. The thermal controller automatically adjusts the fluid temperature indicator, which completely levels the risk of overheating of the boiler.

To sort out what boiler from 220V to choose from all the diversity model Row On the market, it is important to take into account such factors:

• 220V boiler with specialized coating;
• boiler without boiling points so that deposits are not formed;
• a cheap boiler is poorly combined with an aggressive antifreeze medium.

The boiler is made with such a gradation for power:

• 1.5 kW - for engine 16kl;
• 1.0 kW - for engine 8kl;
• 0.5 kW - for use in the parking lot for regular engine heating.

The period for heating is selected individually, experimenting and choosing. Decisive factors:

• motion type;
• rated power of the boiler;
• environmental air temperature.

Now boilers are produced from plastic square form.

On average, the boiler is heated 40-60 minutes. At the same time, it is important that the engine is hot, but no boiling liquid occurred.

Buying the boiler only in proven trading producers of this type of product.

You can buy the boiler on the manufacturer's sites, in specialized vending points or in the car market.

Due to the wide range and set models, the device is selected for passenger and trucks carsmobile, SUVs.

Installing the boiler

Installed boiler in a special engine department. In earlier cars, such a place is not provided.

The manufacturers of the preheater in the instructions are regulated by the process and scheme of its installation. The installation procedure is simple, it is performed on its own. What is needed for this:

• purchase toosol;
• two hours of time.

Depending on the manufacturer's company at the installation scheme, several variations. Installation is performed:

• with installation in the block - the complexity of the installation, but more Efficiency of work instrument;
• as a separate device - in lower point Cooling systems are crashed into a small circle ring.

Visual boiler installation scheme:

• mounted electrical heater to cylinders for specialscasses;
• remove the automatic temperature sensor;
• connect a fitting;
• screwed into the fitting the temperature sensor;
• remove the drain plug;
• out up tolets for tosol feeding;
• both hoses put clamps.

The installation scheme contains both the option in which the output from the heater into the tee. For this, the top nozzle of the radiator is cut. Then the coolant goes to the block to access the boiler. In this case, the head is strongly heated, and the block will be warm.

Sometimes use the connection method is the opposite, in which the output from the heater goes to the block. Cooling fluid is hot, with less density, it is easier for it to go into the cross-section of the adapter. In this case, the block is too warm up, unlike the head, and during the start of the engine, its operating temperature does not omit.

Installation scheme

For this type of models of pre-registration electrical heaters, in accordance with the location of the thermostat and the drain hole on the motor, one of the types of installation schemes is used:

• progressive method;
• parallel method.

A parallel method involves not the use of a smaller coolant circulation revolutions from the resistance of the heater itself. The scheme is effectively executed by several solutions.

The thermal sensor on the top nozzle, there is no crane for draining:

• selection and tosol grinding from the reversal pipe through a triple disk;
• selection of coolant from the lower radiator hose, stacking into the stove tube;
• selection from the reversal pipe, grab through a tee in the upper pipe.

The thermal sensor on the lower element, on the block there is a crane for a drain:

• selection of means from a drain crane through the fitting, the chalk - in the engine block;
• selection from the lower tube of the radiator, grab into the block;
• selection from the block, grab into the upper nozzle through a triple element.

Mounting:

• determine the supply and selective hoses according to the instructions;
• choose a place and calculate the distance for both hoses;
• drain coolant;
• remove the tubes going to the stove;
• install ready-made hoses;
• the heater is fixed to the free edges of the hoses;
• fill the cavity to Tosol.

It is recommended to ensure that the system is completely filled with liquid. With air traffic jams, heater threatens a serious breakdown. For full filling, you need to wait a certain period. The stove cranch for works is open, the temperature regulator is set to the maximum permissible indicator.

Some aspects and nuances

• the switch with a temporary timer will provide the heated engine in the mode that the owner needs motor vehicle;
• the engine is started with squeezed clutch;
• wire 220V I do not lay through high-voltage supports on the road;
• if the boiler power is higher than 1.0 kW, you should not leave it on the night.

The execution of these rules will protect against fire inspection and unpleasant situations.

• check spray - for this include a heater;
• carefully examine the entire surface of the heater;
• purge of holes - in the cavity of the nozzle and the entire case;
• checking the correctness of the suspended bolts, fastening nuts and pump;
• disassembling nozzles and cleaning its parts in petroleum products;
• cleaning devices;
• flushing burner, incandescent candles;
• flushing valve filters;
• cleaning the fuel pump pipes.

Equipment for heating simplifies the use of the vehicle, prolongs the operational time of the engine. Acquisition is justified.

Types of heaters 12V and 24V

For travelers and long-distance trips on shipping, acceptable, and sometimes it is simply indispensable not stationary, and the network of the car in the cabin is electrical heaters that feed from the electrical network, or autonomous (onboard):

• electric heaters (dependent) - equipment with modules with a timer and with a fan, mechanisms for recharging batteries;
• autonomous heaters are attached under the hood and connect to the car.

Installation option

The autonomous heater 12V or 24V is mounted only in the power supply system or also into the cooling system. The advantages of this type - the installation where it is better for the motorist. In production, do not flow into the vehicle.

Autonomous devices are equipped and equipped with a remote control panel. Modern models are controlled from mobile devices. Latest models - manageable with a fairly significant distance using GSM (control through auto electronics cars). This is for devices that act from 12V and 24V. It is possible to use smartphones for these tasks, and a number of diverse devices, which is indisputable a huge plus in favor of convenience when using such a device.

The advantages of 12V and 24V units:

• mobility, no dependence on the 220V electrical network;
• multifunctionality;
• the cooled fluid retains the specified temperature of the two-three days.

The disadvantages include:

• discharges acb;
• high price;
• a rather difficult connection to the car's network;
• installing the battery with a more powerful potential.

Both types of heaters are installed independently or in automotive service centers.

Analogs of thermosuma

Thermal devices store specified operating temperature two days. The principle of operation is that fuel (gasoline or diesel) is burned in the heater, which is closed from the engine heating system. Antifreeze pumps up to a greater circle and passes into a stationary radiator. The radiator warms the air masses, the heated flow of which is sent to the car salon. Thus, the vehicle's self-consolidation inside and the cooling system is also heated.

24V Heater

Advantages:

• reliability;
• no need for additional nutrition;
• simplicity of connection;
• low power.

The cooling substance circulates only on the temperature difference (under pressure). When it warmed in the heating housing, then it comes along a small circle of cooling.

This process takes from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the air temperature of the environment. The device consumes 450-550 ml of fuel per hour. For comparison, electrical analogs consume about 40W electrical energy over the same period of time.

Making homemade heating

Factory boiler or heater is practical and safer than made by its own. Although the option with homemade device Also with the right to exist.

It is important to remember that with the independent production of a device for heating the engine, the maximum possible dilution is observed upon subsequent operation. This is especially true of fire safety.

There are many options for home masters. One example:

• in the side panel and in the bottom of the weapon sleeve, cut the hole, for cutting the thread under the candle;
• the sleeve is connected to the suction branch;
• installing the design directly to the machine tank;
• submission of the onboard network cables.

The peculiarity of this method of installation is that it is used to heal not the engine, but fuel.

To avoid breakage, the use of this type of heating is possible after the engine is turned off.

In contact with

Engine heater, created specifically for the car, allows you to start a vehicle motor with amazing ease. Special technique is required to facilitate the launch of the power unit, and in some cases - to warm the air in the automotive cabin. It is not surprising that many Russians try to understand what engine heater is better to put and how to implement heating system.

A similar question, first of all, is interested in car owners with a diesel engine, since the diesel fuel is manifesting a big inclination for freezing. In fact, car owners with gasoline engine Also can also assess the advantages of using the unit, because it always allows you to bring the oil temperature to the optimal indicator and simplifies the launch of the car for a further trip.

Types of heaters

Wanting what engine heater is better to choose, you need to carefully examine them technical features. A variety of species makes it possible to understand which option it is desirable to stop the choice with a guarantee of a high level of functionality of the unit.

Electric heaters

This option provides for the lack of autonomy in the work, but it pleases with reliability. The unit appeared back in 1949 thanks to A. Fremen.

Attention! Electric heater It is accepted to screw in place of one of the bolts of the engine cylinder block used. In the future, it uses an electrical network with a voltage of 220 volts, which is supplied from a special outlet. Taking into account such a connection scheme, the device is often included in the machine package.

Electric heaters won the greatest popularity in Canada and Scandinavia, as both regions have a climate with the northern characteristics.In Russia, the application will also be appropriate.

The considered variety is characterized by a complex structure.

1. The main functional part is the heating element. Its power is 500-5000 W. The heating element is located in a sealed heat exchanger, which is installed in the special openings of the engine cooling system. In addition, there is a connection with a shirt of cooling on the basis of pipes.
2. Additional component - ECU with a timer. It is envisaged to preserve a timer that allows you to manage the time of charge work.
3. The charging unit must be provided by the design of the main device.
4. The fan allows you to warm the interior and automotive boost space.
5. Advanced models include a pump that allows you to evenly warm the engine.

Despite the complex structure, the principle of operation is characterized by the simplicity and understanding of the general laws of physics. The heating element interacts with the coolant, which circulates until the optimal temperature is reached. For the successful operation of the device, it is recommended to install at the bottom of the cooling system, as the warm liquid always rises, cold - lowers down. The heater, equipped with pomp, implies the ability to refuse the upper placement of the structure.

Autonomous heaters

Autonomous heaters are always installed under a car hood.

To use them require one of the following fuel options:

• petrol;
• diesel fuel;

Mandatory is the implementation of the right structure autonomous device, and the control unit is characterized by complex execution.

A special control unit allows you to control the following characteristics:

• temperature regime;
• features of the supply of fuel used;
• air flow nuances;
• the pump, which is responsible for the supply of fuel;
• air blower;
• the boiler connected to the fuel combustion chamber;
• pump for cooling fluid circulation adjustment;
• relay with salon fan stove (optional attributes).

Tip! Choosing modern model, You can warm the engine and car salon. I wonder what kind of engine heated is better, it is recommended to pay attention to the autonomous species. The use of a timer and remote control will allow you to maintain comfortable conditions in the cabin.

The principle of the device is distinguished by a clear and affordable scheme. To start the system, a remote control panel is required or timer. To work, a fuel pump is needed, capable of pumping fuel from the tank into the combustion chamber. At the same time, another pump contributes to the injection of the air flow. Fuel ignition due to modern candle Ignition, after which the coolant obtains the necessary heat. For its circulation, the third pump is used. After achieving the heated fluid of the optimal temperature, the cabin fan starts to work, ensuring heating the entire cabin and the creation of comfortable conditions for the passenger. The system may turn off after the optimal temperature mode is achieved. The heater provides an increase in the volume of gasoline costs by 0.5 liters per hour. Despite this, financial investments are fully justified.

Disadvantages are reduced to the following aspects:

• using the energy of the battery installed on the car;
• a weak battery involves the risk of its full discharge with the inability to start the car in the morning.

Analyzing other sides of the device, the shortcomings cannot be revealed.

Heat batteries

Thermal batteries are a kind of thermos, which is always assembled by the desired amount of heated coolant. After the motor is started, a liquid will be injected from the device. In most cases, the temperature rises by 10-15 degrees, so the excess load for the power unit is excluded. It is important to note that thermal batteries are capable of preserving a heated fluid, taking into account the optimal temperature to two days. Trying to understand what engine heater is better for a diesel engine, you can stay at this option. In addition, no use of fuel, electricity is not required.

How to choose a heater

Each motorist who tries to understand which engine preheater is better to use, must determine the main aspects right choice Devices.

Autonomy

In this case, it is desirable to choose a special autonomous heater, which is comparable to a stove running on gasoline or diesel fuel.

Features and advantages:

• the achievement of a suitable temperature mode provides for the use of a small current, due to which the battery saving is guaranteed;
• the cabin fan when 30 degrees of the liquid used is also turned on, so the comfortable conditions for the driver and passengers are maintained much easier;
• the transition to the "half" mode, and then - to standby mode, occurs after heating the fluid to a temperature of more than 70 degrees Celsius;
• the cycle is repeated in automatic mode if the temperature of the coolant decreases by about 20 degrees.

This option allows you to count on successful vehicle warming without extra effort.

In most cases, the convenient turning on the device provides for the use of a timer, with which you can program the time of inclusion and duration of work. However, you can use the remote control, as it also pleases the maximum convenience.
