How a parking heater works
Technology explained in easy terms
- You activate the parking heater using one of the remote controllers, your mobile phone or using the digital heater timer.
- As soon as the unit is activated the dosing pump delivers fuel from the vehicle's tank to the heater unit.
- An electric current is applied to the glow plug inside the heater unit and the plug begins to glow. At the same time ambient air is drawn into the heater.
- The fuel is vaporised by the hot plug. The fuel/air mixture ignites once the required temperature has been reached.
- The cold coolant water now flows through the heater, is heated and is then pumped through the coolant circuit.
- The hot water is fed into the vehicle's heater radiator and the fan blows the warmth directly into the passenger compartment.
- The warm water then flows from the heater radiator to the engine which is also warmed up.
- Once the warmed coolant has returned to the heater unit the cycle begins over again.
