- [Engine protection]: It’s well known that starting a vehicle can wear and tear the engine in cold winter. The preheating function of our heater perfectly solves the problem of cold start. It’s an independent heating system and installed between the engine and the water tank in series, achieving heating of the cabin and engine w/out starting the car. It overcomes the limitations of heating systems relying on engines. This will extend car life by more than 30%, and greatly reduce maintenance costs
- [Efficient and Rapid]: When you start the parking heater, it heats the coolant in the water tank and then transmits the warm air to the cabin through a fan. Junyize parking heater can not only heat inside the car but also preheat the engine. In just 15 minutes, ensuring a comfortable environment. When the water temperature reaches 78°C, it automatically stops and the remote control will prompt that the heating is complete. The entire process only consumes up to 0.2L/0.05 gal of fuel.
- [Remote Control]: Our parking water heater is equipped with a smart LCD display and remote control. Take control of your heating experience with our 33ft long-distance remote control which adjusts the temperature effortlessly, even before stepping into your vehicle. Preheat your vehicle from outside, and keep the interior warm. The large LCD allows you to get a clear view of your heater's status. Perfect for chilly winter mornings.
- [Wide Application]: As a universal heater for both diesel and gasoline, it fits any 12V motor vehicle. Our heater is suitable for altitudes below 16400 feet/5000 m and operates smoothly in surrounding temperatures ranging from -104 °F to 104 °F / -40 °C to 40 °C. As a heating companion for vehicles, it is widely used for heating the engines of cars, RVs, RV trucks, caravans, campers, pickup, trucks, trailers, snowmobiles, snowmobile trailers, ships, etc.
- [Points for Attention]: It is necessary to prevent the surrounding objects of the heater from being affected or even damaged by high temperatures. When installing the oil pump, always pay attention to the nozzle tilting upwards, and The best installation angle is between 15.1° and 35°; Can be between 35° and 90°; It must not be between 0°and 15°. It involves extracting a small amount of fuel from the original vehicle fuel tank. New energy vehicles require an external tank.
