BlueHeat® Coolant Heater pre-heats the engine to eliminate cold starts and avoid idling.

Starting and idling a cold engine increases the stresses on the engine and drastically increases the amount of engine wear.

An idling engine is not operating at its peak temperature so fuel combustion is incomplete.

As a result, fuel residues condense on cylinder walls, contaminates oil, and damages engine components, such as spark plugs and the exhaust system.

This increases fuel consumption by 4 to 5%.

Letting an engine idle actually does more damage than starting and stopping it. Excessive idling produces sulphuric acid that breaks down the oil and eats into bearings, rings, valve stems and engine surfaces… increases maintenance costs… shortens the life of the engine.
