Heater interior. Autonomous interior heater

For many car enthusiasts and professionals, it is natural to desire to surround yourself with maximum comfort and safety. As you know, these factors cause different parts and devices, without which driving is either impossible or uncomfortable.

Device for heating the interior

For the heating of the car, especially in the winter season, to prevent freezing of windows inside and outside the machine, as a rule, the interior heater is installed. It is recommended to switch it on only after the engine has fully warmed up.

The interior heater is mainly installed under the front panel of the vehicle. It consists of the main components: a radiator, a guiding casing, a fan, an electric motor and an air filter. The radiator is connected by a branch pipe and a faucet with one of the pipes of the cylinder head cooling jacket. Another pipeline communicates with the pump, which circulates the fluid in the engine cooling system. How does this interior heater work?

When driving the car, the external air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, passes the counterflow of air through the interior heater, its filter and radiator. The fresh stream warms up and flows through the nozzles into the car's interior. At a time when the machine stops, the air is pumped by the fan. It is installed in the heater radiator casing. The fan speed and the air intake function are adjusted from the car's instrument panel.

In winter, in the most severe frost, the engine cooler is recommended additionally To insulate, blocking the direct arrival of cold air. But this need not be done completely to avoid overheating of the motor.

Heater

What is it for? The autonomous interior heater is used mainly on long-distance routes, when drivers have to stop for long parking in unoccupied places.

The difference between this device is in the process of obtaining heat. The auxiliary heater of the passenger compartment is characterized by a slightly different principle of operation. It is based on an electrospiral, which has a separate combustion chamber and is installed in the furnace itself. This device has a separate exhaust pipe. It works by the principle of the primus and is installed outside, under the hood of the car. It is connected to the accumulator, due to which the heating element in the combustion chamber is heated. There, in turn, fuel is supplied separately installed electric pump. Due to this, the ignition occurs and the oven is heated. The heater fan is forced through the pipes (forced) into the cabin by heat. The control and adjustment of the device under consideration is made by an electric pump and a fan from the instrument panel of the machine.

Such a furnace works separately from the engine of the car and is most often used in KamAZ, "Gazelles", buses. It is also installed in machines with a large internal volume. Autonomous heating The device is an indispensable thing for travelers who use trailer-camping accommodation.

The heater is electric

There is also an electric heater for the salon. It is incredibly easy to use and practical. Heating is carried out due to the operation of the heater from the car's cigarette lighter. But here there are pluses and minuses. The undoubted advantage of such models is a small and compact size, an electric power of 150 watts.

The main disadvantage is his little heat emission. It is not recommended to turn it on when the engine is not running, so as not to land the battery. This heater is best used in the morning to further warm up the car's interior during the first start-up of the engine. At a time when the car's stove has not warmed up yet and the engine has just started to work, the ceramic heater helps to normalize the temperature in the cabin.

In this way, you can save time that is required to warm up the car. Such a device is considered safe because it is not heated by direct sun rays, does not burn oxygen and, Accordingly, does not dry the air. Due to this, it can be used as a fan in the hot time of the day.

Additional device for maintaining the climate in the cabin

Often used an additional heater of the car's interior . What is he like?

The principle of operation of the device is the same as in the conventional interior heater. It has a radiator with an electric motor, a casing and a fan. Only it is installed in the rear of the car. Quite often mount additional heater salons yourself.

Principle of installation

Special hoses of a certain length are also installed. They are connected to the main furnace of the car so that a consistent circuit is obtained throughout the system. The procedure itself is simple. If there is not enough fluid pressure in the cooling system, then another electric pump is installed to supply it. The additional interior heater is usually installed under the passenger seat. With the help of fastening, screws and gaskets (made of foam rubber or foam), the oven is fixed. This is done so that it does not interfere and does not The surrounding parts of the car heated up.

Such furnaces are installed, as a rule, in the salons of minibuses, buses and other large vehicles.

Security measures

The car interior heater is recommended to be checked regularly and on time. It is necessary to inspect it for possible clogging of the radiator and the flow of liquid. As necessary, you need to clean the parts of the device. The radiator of the heater can be purged with a strong air pressure from the compressor hose (so that no debris remains). Having checked in the engine cooling system all places of possible liquid flow (radiators, clamps, hoses and their connection points), eliminate the detected defects.
