Engine Pre-heater for Generator Sets and Mobile Equipment

SPOKANE, WA - Hotstart® Manufacturing offers a range of small, compact engine pre-heaters for stationary engines and mobile heavy equipment. Available in both 120 and 240 V models, the TPS line of pre-heaters are constructed from a polymer called poly phenylene sulfide (PPS). The durable, high-density plastic construction reduces heat loss throughout the pre-heater tank which allows more heating efficiency at 1800 watts as compared to a 2000 watt aluminum tank heater. The TPS series heats engines ranging in size from 150CID to 700CID.

Designed with a dome-type construction, the thermo-siphoning heating action is very efficient and the PPS composition offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion as compared to metal tank designs. All heaters come standard with a built-in thermostat with three temperature ranges available: 80-100F, 100-120F, 120-140F. In-line adjustable thermostat assemblies and remote thread-in fixed thermostat assemblies are also available. Hotstart® offers replaceable parts for all major components of the heater and the twist and lock type of construction permits ease of servicing, requiring minimal time for replacing the element or power cord.

TPS engine pre-heaters are available in 500W, 1000W, 1500W, 1800W and 2000W. The heater is CSA-C/US and UL-C/US listed to United States and Canadian safety standards. All TPS engine pre-heaters meet requirements for installation on any UL 2200 listed generator set.
