Forced Circulation Engine Heater Saves Energy and Money
SPOKANE, WA - A coolant pre-heating system is available from Hotstart® that offers energy-efficient engine heating for engines ranging in size from 15L to 100L. The pump-driven CSM offers more efficient heating than thermo-siphon tank heaters, delivering uniform heating throughout the entire engine. On larger engines, one CSM eliminates the need for two thermo-siphon tank heaters, reducing the cost of installation and material. The heater is UL listed to United States and Canadian safety standards with CE compliant models available.
The CSM is a turnkey system that includes all required controls and a 10GPM circulating pump. Forced circulation of the coolant extends element life and offers a significant reduction in electrical consumption. Outlet temperatures are greatly reduced which results in extended hose life and reduced maintenance. The CSM features a low-watt density heating element and adjustable thermostat with optional temperature settings. The compact design requires minimal space for mounting and requires less installation time compared to two tank heaters.
The unit is available in 3KW, 6KW, 9KW and 12KW with all standard voltage ratings in 50Hz or 60Hz. CSM pre-heaters meet requirements for installation on any UL 2200 listed generator set.
