In winter pre-start heaters make life easier for drivers. Perhaps the most popular models are "Webasto". Perhaps, that is why many people think, after hearing the word Webasto, that this pre-heater. In fact, this is the name of a well-known German company developing a wide range of automotive equipment.

The name of the company Webasto did not accidentally become a household name for a whole class of heating equipment. Optimization of climate in vehicles, the company took one of the first. Liquid heaters for buses and cars are manufactured since 1935, for trucks - since 1939. Since 1950, the production of autonomous heaters has been mastered. Since 1965 air conditioners for trucks and buses have been produced. Since 1995, much attention has been paid to integrated climate systems for heavy vehicles, buses, special equipment.

Webasto - what is it?

Created almost a century ago, the German company "Webasto" is leading in the production of automobile roofs and climate equipment. The name of the founder of the firm and the name of the town of Stockdorf near Munich, where its headquarters was located since 1907, formed the abbreviation: WilhElm BAier + STOckdorf = WEBASTO.

In the production of air conditioners and heaters, advanced technologies are used. "Вебасто" - the first manufacturer of sliding roofs on solar batteries. Environmentally friendly technology helps to save energy of the car. Technological developments in this field spurred the engineers to create innovative sliding elements of the body - in particular, door systems and spoilers of a new design.

Reference heaters

The Webasto preheater quickly and efficiently warms up the engine. This not only saves the time for the motor to reach operating temperature, but also reduces harmful emissions. The heated engine wears less, less often it breaks down. Thanks to the heater, the windshield quickly thaws, and the driver will not need to clean it in the cold. It is the "Webasto" heaters that are still mounted on the assembly line in Mercedes S, Range Rover, Audi A6 / A8, Volvo S80, VW Phaeton, Maybach, Land Rover.

High quality is achieved by a large-scale test program. In a special climatic chamber, it is checked how quickly the engine and interior warm up. At the MTBFs, when operating at extreme loads, the operation of a heater equivalent to 15 years is simulated. The corrosion resistance is checked by spraying with water and salt mist.

Do not be afraid of increased fuel consumption. For an hour the device burns an average of 0.6 liters of fuel. However, the heated engine consumes less gasoline (diesel fuel), compensating for the losses.

Webasto preheaters have several advantages:

• Dimensions and weights are smaller, and the heating process is more efficient and stable.
• Studies in the acoustic laboratory show that the noise level during warm-up is minimal.
• Before assembling, the conformity of the dimensions of each part is checked so carefully on a special 3D-measuring machine Webasto that this guarantees trouble-free operation of the devices.
• When the heater is connected only to the interior heating, the windshield completely thaws in 30 minutes.
• For each car model, an optimal set of basic kit, controls and installation kit is developed. At the same time for installation on most models of cars are suitable and standard sets.
• Remote control or programmed digital timer.

Principle of operation

1. The heater is connected to the cooling circuit of the car.
2. Heats the coolant.
3. It pumps it through the radiator of the standard heater.
4. Hot fluid is also pumped through the motor, heating it.

Connecting Webasto

This is a rather complex, responsible, scrupulous process. At first, he understands before the car. Then, some parts and assemblies of the engine compartment are removed, so that it is more convenient to mount the heater. When installing from the fuel tank to the heater is an independent fuel path. It is necessary to use only high-quality components, especially the requirements for hoses. Incorrectly installed installation is fraught with a fire!

Despite the apparent simplicity of the pre-heater Webasto, the installation should be done in certified centers. Workers should be trained, and the center itself must have the appropriate permission. If you install yourself (or in non-certified workshops), you can say goodbye to both the car and the installed equipment of "Webasto".

The scheme of installation on an example of the car "Lada Priora"

1. Select the place of installation (for example, behind the battery).
2. The mounting bracket is mounted to the mounting of the motor cushion.
3. Since the fuel tube will interfere with the installation, it needs to be shifted to the side.
4. A cauldron is attached to a pre-prepared metal plate.
5. At the checkpoint, an exhaust pipe is installed, then the dissector is fixed.
6. The heater is connected to the Lada fuel system. To do this, the gasoline pump is mounted on the ABS block studs, and the hoses are attached to the standard fuel line. Then, a tie-in to the fuel return pipe is made.
7. Cooling system and wiring are fed to the boiler of the heater. First, a nozzle connecting the thermostat with the stove is removed and connected to the inlet fitting on the boiler. Then the branch pipe that comes with the heater is connected to the thermostat connection. After installation, it is recommended to remove the air cap.
8. In the cabin, the on timer is set.
9. The last stage is the connection to the battery.
10. Because of the accumulated air in the system the device from the first time can not earn. It may take several attempts for the first start.

Air Top 2000

In addition to pre-start heaters, the company is famous for interior heaters of cabins for trucks, vans, autocampers, buses, cabins for small vessels. The optimal solution to winter problems is a compact, economical fuel-efficient car heater. One of the most popular is the Webasto Air Top 2000. It works directly after startup or with a programmable timer. And it can function without the engine running.

The unit is directly connected to the mains and the fuel tank. Suitable for cars with any type of cooling. The air heater is designed with maximum protection. For combustion, the interior air is not used.

Cost

It is necessary to understand, when buying Webasto, that this equipment is of the highest quality. Therefore, its cost is quite high.

This is not the final cost of the Webasto models, the price depends on additional accessories. Mini-timers, control panels, devices that support control from a mobile phone are all purchased separately.
