How does the parking heater work?
In the cold winter, getting into a cold car and holding a cold steering wheel must be the nightmare of many car owners. The emergence of parking heaters perfectly solves this problem, allowing you to enjoy a warm and comfortable driving experience in the cold winter. So, what is the working principle of parking heaters? This article will unveil its mystery for you.
Working principle of parking heater:
As the name implies, a parking heater is a heating device that can provide warm air even when the vehicle is stationary. It operates independently of the car engine, generates heat by burning fuel, heats the coolant, and then transfers the heat to the cabin to achieve the purpose of heating.
The working process of the parking heater can be summarized as the following steps:
1. Start: Start the parking heater through an independent switch.
2. Fuel supply: A small amount of fuel is drawn from the parking heater tank.
3. Combustion: The fuel is mixed with air in the combustion chamber and ignited to generate heat.
4. Heat exchange: The heat generated by combustion is transferred to the coolant, and the coolant temperature rises.
5. Circulation: The high-temperature coolant is pumped to the warm air radiator in the car, and the heat is dissipated into the car through the radiator.
6. Emission: The exhaust gas generated by combustion is discharged outside the car through the exhaust pipe.
