Where is the classic Transit diesel heater?

The classic Transit diesel heater is located in the lower part of the automobile throttle.

Many car owners have the same experience, that is, in the severe winter, after starting the vehicle overnight, they find that the vehicle is as underpowered as "not enough to eat". In fact, this is caused by driving without preheating in winter, which shows how important the heater is to the car.

The role of the heater:

Normal engine warm-up can not only give full play to the normal power of the engine, but also prolong its life. However, the wear of the engine during cold start is almost the same as that under other working conditions. Usually, the engine wear during cold start accounts for about half of the total wear.

Preheating at this time can reduce this wear. At low temperature, metal will show less elasticity and wear resistance, and only at working temperature can the engine achieve normal fit clearance and maintain the best working condition.

Benefits of engine preheating:

Engine preheating can prolong the service life of the engine.

Generally speaking, after the engine is left standing for one night, the residual pressure of lubricating oil on each friction surface has already disappeared, and the oil film protection is lost; Low temperature greatly increases the viscosity of lubricating oil and deteriorates the adhesiveness and fluidity.

At this time, the motion resistance of starting the engine is greatly increased, and more than 60% of the power during starting is used to overcome the motion resistance of the cold machine. Authoritative research results show that the cooler needs preheating.

The wear amount of the engine during cold start is almost the same as that under other working conditions. In other words, the engine wear during cold start accounts for about half of the total wear. Normal idle preheating can reduce this wear and prolong the service life of the engine.
