Autonomous diesel heater - a universal solution for comfort

An autonomous diesel heater for a car uses diesel fuel to efficiently heat the interior without the need to start the engine. The process begins with the supply of diesel fuel to the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air and ignited. The combustion of diesel fuel generates heat, which is transferred through a heat exchanger. The exhaust gases are discharged through the exhaust system, and the resulting heat is sent to the vehicle interior to maintain a comfortable temperature. Autonomous diesel heaters are a reliable solution for heating a car in the cold season, providing high efficiency and fuel economy.

The length of time a stand-alone diesel heater can operate to maintain the required temperature depends on several factors, including fuel tank capacity, power settings, outside temperature and vehicle insulation. Skargart stand-alone diesel heaters have a 10-liter tank that provides continuous operation from 15 hours at full power to 40 hours. Alternatively, the heater can be connected directly to the car's tank - in this case, the operating time depends only on the amount of fuel in the car's tank.

The operating time of an autonomous diesel heater for a car powered by a DC battery depends on the heater's power and battery capacity. Skargart 5 kW heaters consume an average of up to 40 watts per hour during operation. For example, if you have a 100 Ah (ampere-hour) battery at 12 V, you can calculate the runtime of the heater as follows: 1) Determine the power of the heater in watts (W). 2) Divide the battery capacity (in ampere-hours) by the heater power (in watts) and multiply by the battery voltage (in volts). Operating time = (100 Ah * 12 V) / 40 W = 30 hours

Yes, an autonomous diesel heater can operate while the car is moving. These heaters are specially designed to operate safely and efficiently in a variety of conditions, including driving. During operation, the heater consumes diesel fuel from a separate tank or the vehicle's tank, providing stable heat even at high speeds. The main advantages of using a stand-alone diesel heater while driving: Constant heat: The heater maintains a comfortable temperature in the vehicle's interior regardless of the outside conditions. Fuel economy: The use of an autonomous heater reduces fuel costs, as there is no need to keep the engine running for heating. Safety: Heaters are equipped with safety systems that prevent overheating and other potential hazards.

The choice of air diesel heater size depends on several factors, such as vehicle size, insulation level, and operating conditions. Here are some tips to help you determine the optimal heater size: Vehicle size: Consider the total amount of space you need to heat. For small cars, vans or minibuses, 2 kW heaters are usually suitable. Larger vehicles such as trucks or buses may require a 5 kW heater. Skargart's 5 kW stand-alone diesel heaters can adjust the power from 1.4 to 5 kW, making them versatile for any conditions Insulation level: If your vehicle is well insulated, it will retain heat more efficiently and you may need a less powerful heater. If the insulation is poor, you may need a higher wattage heater. Climate conditions: In regions with very cold winters, you should choose a more powerful heater to ensure a comfortable temperature even in extremely cold temperatures. Specific needs: If you plan to use the heater for specific purposes, such as heating a workplace in a van or the interior of a tourist bus, this should also be taken into account when choosing the heater's power.

Our stand-alone diesel heaters are covered by a 12-month warranty. We always have the necessary spare parts in stock, which allows us to carry out repairs quickly. In most cases, repairs can be carried out remotely - the problem can be identified very quickly thanks to the electronic control unit that shows errors. We can send spare parts to customers to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Our specialists are always available to provide advice and technical support to ensure the smooth operation of your heater.

The fuel consumption of a stand-alone diesel heater depends on its power and operating mode. On average, heaters consume 0.14 to 0.5 liters of diesel fuel per hour. Approximate fuel consumption by power: 1-2 kW: 0.14 to 0.2 liters per hour 4 kW: 0.2 to 0.4 liters per hour 5 kW: 0.3 to 0.5 liters per hour Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on the heater settings, outside temperature and vehicle insulation level. Using the economy modes and maintaining the optimal settings will help reduce fuel consumption while providing efficient heating of the cabin.
