Hotstart’s thermosiphon heaters play a crucial role in pre-heating coolant before circulation, ensuring optimal operating temperature during downtime and eliminates unnecessary idling.
- CL Heaters: Heavy-duty thermosiphon heaters offering higher wattage options for increased heat output. Features a pressure die-cast aluminum tank for durability.
- SB Series Heaters: Compact and heavy-duty, designed for aftermarket applications requiring reliable heat for diesel and gas engines.
- TPS Thermosiphon Heating System: Developed to maintain optimal temperatures for stationary land power, marine, and construction equipment engines.
Designed for generators 500 watt and smaller, Hotstart’s pump-driven heaters are more effective than convection heaters. Upgrading an existing standard convection engine block heater to a pump-driven model can reduce overall maintenance and extend heater life.
- CKM Model Heater: Designed as a true drop-in replacement for legacy convection-based systems. Features a mechanically-driven pump and a custom-designed pump volute mated to a stainless-steel construction for enhanced durability.
- CSM HOTflow Engine: offers exceptional performance with the most powerful pump (10 gpm) and heating element options (up to 12 kW) in the HOTflow® lineup. Designed for large-engine installations up to 100 L displacement, it efficiently replaces costly convection heaters. Available in various power and voltage configurations, it’s perfect for non-hazardous locations and provides reliable heating for water or coolant systems.
- HOTflow® CTM: Our popular CTM series thermosiphon heaters feature an integrated control box for automatic operation, eliminating the need for additional control components. These heaters support engine sizes from 15L to 100L and operate at voltages from 240V to 575V.
- EVRHEAT Series 20: Built for efficiency, versatility, and reliability. Indicator lights on the operator display show current heater operation and temperature status, ensuring easy monitoring.
