Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater

Diesel Engine Heater

VVKB selects high-quality Germany imported water pump, whose service is longer than other ordinary ones. It also produces much less noise during working.

VVKB also choose high-quality metering fuel pump.

It can control the fuel output accurately, so it’s much fuel-saving. Equipped with the waterproof relay, it allows the coolant heater to be installed in every convenient place, and no need to worry about the possible damage from the external liquids.

The rubber coolant hose from VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater contains more than 60% rubber raw material, and a high-capacity coolant hose allows the heater to be workable at around -45 degrees Celsius.

VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater can be widely used in different kind of circumstances. It provides heating for the engines from cars, trucks, construction machinery, RVs, boats etc; It can heat up the domestic water from RV’s water system; It can also be used in mobile cabins or holiday homes when with extra radiators.

VVKB Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater features a strategically positioned cold water inlet and hot water outlet above the heating unit. This allows for an easy integration with the vehicles’ heating and cooling system.

VVKB Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater uses the truck’s own fuel and battery to produce sufficient heat. This eliminates the complexity of design hence its simple structure.

With the low voltage protection feature, the Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater cannot drain power beyond which the vehicle may not start.

At the bottom, VVKB Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater has precisely positioned air and diesel inlets besides an exhaust.

It uses the heater’s pump to circulate hot water through the engine and ventilation system, thereby eliminating costly idling time and possible ice or mist in the vehicle’s windows. Even in extremely cold conditions, the unit will maintain a suitable temperature (149°F (65°C) to 167°F (75°C)).

The advanced electronic control system automatically regulates coolant temperature and the smart system safety diagnostics, further reducing heating costs.

Unlike most heaters in the market, VVKB Apollo-C1 Diesel Water Heater is lightweight and guarantees minimal power consumption.

Vehicles like cars and trucks, when in winter, their engine can be very difficult to start because of the cold start issue.

There is two reason why the engines can’t get start normally at low temperature.

When shutting down the engine for a long time, the lubricating oil can only remain at the bottom of the oil sump due to the earth gravity.

When in winter at low temperature, the lubricating oil fluidity will deteriorate, or sometimes even freeze up.

Therefore, when trying to start the engine again, it’s hard for the fuel pump to transfer the lubricating oil back to each lubrication spot.

Moreover, increasing resistance of the piston occurs because the small amount of oil existing between the piston and the cylinder also solidifies.

In this way, the starter may not drive the engine to start normally.

Even if started, the engine wears a lot without lubrication protection.

There is a large contact surface with lubricating oil between the engine piston and the cylinder wall.

It allows the starter to drive the piston to work smoothly.

When the temperature drops to low, the viscosity of the lubricating oil will increase, which will greatly increase the piston resistance.

The engine must be heated and the cylinder must be maintained to the proper temperature, so the lubricating oil melts and the starter can work normally.

Due to the shrinkage effect, the matching gap between the engine parts will become larger, resulting in poor air tightness and incomplete vaporization of the fuel.

Some fuel will just be burnt and discharged into the air. That does much harm to the environment. And some fuel will stick to the cylinder wall.

Due to the continuous movement of the piston, the fuel will clean the little remaining lubricating oil away from the cylinder wall.

Without protection from the lubricating oil, the cylinder wall and piston will be in the extreme wear.

This is just the main reason for the high failure rate of vehicles in winter.

Diesel engine heater also called as a water heater or liquid parking heater is a kind of heater device that transfers the heat to the engine or other equipment through coolant or other liquid.

It consumes diesel or gasoline.

The coolant heater allows the truck engine or other equipment to be maintained at the proper temperature for a long time.

VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater has rated voltage of 12V and rated the power of 5KW.

Its rated current is 3.2 amps, while the output heat is 16000 BTU.

The working temperature is from -45℃ to 30℃, and the temp of the output liquid is from 60℃ to 80℃.

The following is the detailed introduction about VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater.

VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater’s combustion chamber is made of 2520 stainless steel, so it can bear the temperature over 1200℃.

Meanwhile, VVKB Apollo-C1diesel engine heater produces less noise during working with its unique chamber design.

Normally, it’s about 10 lbs lighter than another ordinary coolant heater.

What’s more, the motor from VVKB Apollo-C1diesel engine heater’s can run smoothly at speeds over 9000 rpm.

The control chip from VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater makes it run about 50% faster than other ordinary coolant heaters.

It is imported from Europe.

VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater uses Japanese Kyocera glow pin, which has a longer service life and is much easier to be ignited.

About the water pump, VVKB selects high-quality Germany imported one, whose service is longer than other ordinary ones.

Also, it has much less noise during working. VVKB also choose high-quality metering fuel pump.

It can precisely control the fuel output, so it can’t waste much fuel.

Equipped with the waterproof relay, it allows the coolant heater to be installed in every convenient place, and no need to worry about the possible damage from the external liquids.

The rubber coolant hose from VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater contains more than 60% rubber raw material, and a high-capacity coolant hose allows the heater to be workable at around -45 degrees Celsius.

VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater also equips with one flexible spiral exhaust pipe, which can reduce the noise by more than 10 DBS.

When VVKB Apollo-C1 diesel engine heater is working, the temp of coolant or liquid will remain between 60℃ to 80℃.

When the temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius, it stops heating, but the pump will always work.

When the temperature drops lower than 60 degrees Celsius, the main control panel will send the order to re-ignited.

VVKB Apollo-C1diesel engine heater has three control methods to start:

1. Manual start function;
2. Remote start function;
3. GSM card in mobile phone start function ( This one is optional, and need to confirm the compatibility of GSM card format)

The Application of VVKB Apollo Series Diesel Engine Heater

VVKB diesel engine heater can provide heating for the engines from cars, trucks, construction machinery, RVs and boats.

The engine can be more easily ignited in the cold winter, and keep the cabin warm.

VVKB diesel engine heater can also provide heat up the domestic water from RV’s hot water system so that people can have hot water to take a bath, which will bring much convenience to the travel life.

VVKB diesel engine heater can also be used in mobile cabins or holiday homes. But this needs to be combined with radiators.

Most mobile cabins or holiday homes do not have complete heating equipment.

So here we suggest using VVKB coolant heater and VVKB air heater to create a perfect heating system.

So people can enjoy the warmth there.

FAQ

After installing VVKB Apollo-C1diesel engine heater in my truck, when the night comes, can I turn off the engine and sleep in the compartment?

Yes, VVKB Apollo-C1diesel engine heater warm up the cabin by heating the coolant and circulating the coolant through the vehicle’s warm air system.

However, we recommend you VVKB air parking heater to use. (https://www.vvkb.com/parking-heaters/Apollo-V1-air-parking-heater/) Because it’s designed to heat the air in the cabin.
