How do the Hydronic range work?
As soon as the heater receives its start pulse the following procedures are triggered by the central controller;
- Automatic safety check.
- Burner motor starts, preliminary ventilation of the combustion chamber
- Ignition starts and fuel solenoid valve opens
- Atomiser spays diesel or heating oil EL into the ventilated combustion chamber. This mixture is ignited by a high tension spark to produce a flame.
- The hot combustion gases flow through the heat exchanger, which transfers the heat to the engine's water cooling system.
- This thermal energy is forwarded to the passenger compartment via the vehicles own water/air exchanger. The residual warmth continues on to the engine.
- The heater is electronically controlled and works intermittently. In other words, the burner comes on for different lengths of time depending on the heat required.
