DEFA has several hundred different types of engine heater to suit different types of car. These are fitted to the engine in different ways and pre-heat it by different methods. This is so as not to affect advanced sensors and electronics.
Examples of different engine heaters:
Engine block heater
Hose heater
Oil heater
Contact heater
All DEFA’s engine heaters are designed to provide the optimum pre-heating effect , whichever method they use.
The purpose of an engine heater is to create heat and transfer it to the engine in the best and most efficient way. This may be done by convection, by directly heating the oil and/or water or through conductivity by indirectly heating the fluids with a contact heater on engine block or sump.
For engine types that may present accessibility problems for fitting, there are DEFA engine heaters with special flanges, engine block heaters fitted via hoses or contact heaters.
DEFA always strives to find the best solution for every single car engine, so it is vital to use the engine heater that has been designed for exactly the engine in your car if you want it to work as it should.
To ensure that you get the right engine heater for your car and that it is fitted correctly you should use qualified help at a garage or workshop.
The engine heater is the heart of DEFA’s car heating system. If you use a pre-heater the engine starts more easily, suffers less wear, uses less fuel and causes less pollution.
DEFA has engine heaters to suit most car models and engine sizes and is constantly expanding the range as new cars come out. The easiest way is to ask your dealer to fit an engine heater when you buy a new car. You can have an engine heater fitted to your existing car by an authorised garage whenever you like. Of course you can also have it done when buying a used car that doesn’t have an engine heater already.
You can choose to install just the engine heater to start with and then add interior heater , battery charger and
control unit whenever you wish, or you can buy everything in one package as DEFA WarmUp.
