324-3257 Intake Air Heater (24 V, 1892 W)
Cat® Intake Air Heater Starting Aid
Description
The intake air heater starting aid ensures reliable ignition and reduces excessive cranking or shortens preheating time, improving the cold-start performance of the engine. Preheating the air helps overcome the challenges associated with low temperatures, increased fuel viscosity, and reduced vaporization. It is controlled by a timer or temperature sensor, which determines the appropriate heating duration and intensity based on engine operating conditions and ambient temperature. It is activated during engine starting, especially in cold climates or when the engine idles for long periods.
Features
- Ensures reliable cold starts and reduces preheating time
- Withstands harsh conditions, vibration, and high temperatures, and can be exposed to road debris.
Applications
The intake air heater starting aid can be used in small diesel-powered commercial vehicles to ensure reliable starting in cold weather and improve engine performance.
