Heater planar for heating cabs and vans of cargo vehicles

When transporting goods and working with special equipment, emergency situations often arise in the winter period, when it is necessary to heat the cab, trailer or especially important components of structures. An excellent solution for such cases can be an independent heater Planar 4D, which is able to effectively provide such objects with heat.

Important product features

These products are manufactured by LLC Advers in Samara. Since 1995, the organization has been selling air conditioning equipment that is in demand in the markets of our country, so the main advantage is the high quality of the product.

With other positive qualities of devices can be found below:

• Such devices can function reliably. at ambient temperature up to -45 degrees.
• Compact size provide the ability to transport the product without any difficulties.
• Operation is simplified thanks to the remote control that allows you to turn on and off the device, as well as to select the operating mode.
• There are certificates for the products, confirming safety and compliance.
• Heating devices are energy efficient, thanks to what the long period of use is possible.
• Installation of the heater can be done by hand, and this leads to savings in cash.
• Reasonable price allows you to purchase products, regardless of the financial capabilities of the consumer.

Addition! It should be noted that the autonomous devices for heating of this type are characterized by low consumption of electric energy, which is very important when heating the cabin from the battery during long-term parking.

Installation work

Connecting the heater is not a complicated matter, so it can be done on its own. At attraction of experts it is necessary to spend decently. (See also the article Air heating systems: features.)

If the instruction below is fully followed, then there should be no problems during the installation process.

1. First, the installation location is selected, after which a preliminary marking is applied to the surface of the frame.
2. It is mandatory to protect the device from various contaminants and moisture.
3. The device is installed directly, and the angles of inclination must be respected.
4. The product is given stability through the use of additional gaskets and washers.
5. The heating line is connected to the vehicle fuel system.
6. The system required for air intake from the street and the release of exhaust gases is installed.
7. At the last stage, testing and final adjustment of parameters is performed.

Note! The fuel tank, which is supplied with the main unit, can be not used if you carry out a tie-in directly into the fuel wire. For this you need a rubber hose with a tee.

Specifications

The main parameters, which are given below, are relevant for the most popular model 4DM 24. When they are indicated, an error of no more than ten percent in one direction or another is allowed. All characteristics were obtained at nominal voltage and temperature conditions of +20 degrees. (See also the article How to build a greenhouse with heating: features.)

Device operation

In the process of using this device for autonomous heating, it is necessary to follow certain rules in order to increase the service life of the product and to achieve a high level of safety. The following are the most important points to consider when operating.

Safety

• The heater is allowed to be used only for those purposes that are reflected in these operating instructions.
• Do not use the device in places where vapors are collected in large quantities that can easily ignite.
• Do not use the device if the car is indoors, as the combustion products will accumulate.
• It is forbidden to disconnect and connect the connectors when the electrical supply of the product is turned on.
• After the heater is turned off, it can only be restarted after 5-10 seconds.
• When refueling the vehicle, the device must be in the off state.
• Do not turn off the power from the electrical network until the purge stage has ended.

Attention! If the above requirements are not fully met, the warranty service of the consumer may be suspended. Repair in this case will have to pay.

Work with the control panel

In any case, it is necessary to start and shut down the system, change the temperature and determine the state of the device. For this there is a special control panel. On the front of the device is a small LED pen.

Thanks to a small light bulb, you can determine the status of the device. If its color is red, then the heating or ventilation mode is activated. A flashing LED indicates a malfunction. When the heater is turned off, the light does not light up at all.

The handle on the case is necessary for the execution of various commands. If it is on the left, the device is completely turned off. Launch can be done by turning the knob clockwise. Depending on the position of the handle, the system will operate in a certain power range.

Possible faults

• If a flame is interrupted, check the fuel supply and the air intake system.
• If the connection between the main unit and the control panel fails, test the wires for a short circuit.
• Increased ventilation time usually occurs when the air supply system is poorly functioning.
• If the flame indicator is faulty, then the circuit must be checked, since a break may be observed.
• When overheating in the area of ​​the control unit should inspect the inlet and outlet air.

As a conclusion

Thanks to the above information, potential consumers can understand what Planar autonomous heaters, which are highly popular in our country, are. This topic will be primarily interesting to those drivers who spend a long time behind the wheel. As for additional information about heating devices of this type, they are reflected in the video.
