engine heater
in General Tech Discussion
12 years ago
Greetings I'm new to this forum and have an interest in experimental aircraft since the 70's.
I manufacture an engine heater used mainly for sprint car, midgets, and late model race cars but will pre-heat any water cooled engine. The engine heater circulates water throughout the cooling system while sitting in the pits (before starting) up to running temp, saving wear and tear on the (very expensive) engine.
The heater would be perfect to pre-heat a Rotex water cooled engine before starting (summer or winter) and could have it up to running temp while performing the pre-flight inspection. No fuel wasted on warm-up, plus no time on hobbs wasted, longer life between overhauls.
I have searched the internet or a water cooled aircraft engine heaterand have found a lot of heaters that blow hot air but not one that would do the job as good as this one. Does anyone know of such a heater on the market?
I would be interested in someone willing to hook-up the heater to their plane for testing before trying to sell the engine heater for aircraft use.... it can be seen on my website www.TheEngineHeater.com
What do you think?
