a) turning the heater on and off by command from the control panel;

b) initial diagnostics (serviceability check) of the heater components during startup;

c) diagnostics of heater components during the entire operation;

d) start-up and automatic operation according to the “pre-start” or “economy” programs (transition to various modes depending on the temperature of the engine coolant);

e) turning off the heater:

At the end of the specified cycle (cycle 3 hours or 8 hours);

When parameters go beyond acceptable limits (temperature, voltage and flame failure in the combustion chamber).



Remote Control

The control panel (hereinafter referred to as the remote control) is designed for manual control of the heater.

The remote control is intended for:

- starting and stopping the heater in manual mode;

- selection of operating mode;

- control of the cabin heater fan;
  • displaying the status of the heater (working, not working, or not working due to a malfunction).

On the front panel of the remote control there are two key switches, an LED and a thermostat knob. Switches are designed to execute the following commands:

1. to start (position “I”) and turn off the heater (position “O”);

2. to select the pre-start “3” or economical “8” operating mode.

The “pre-start” operating mode is intended to warm up and maintain the engine warm for 3 hours.

The “economy” operating mode is designed to keep the engine and driver’s cabin warm when the engine is not running; the maximum operating time in this mode is 8 hours.


The thermostat knob is used to control the cabin heater fan (provided that the coolant temperature is more than 55°C and the cabin heater switch on the panel in the cabin is in the position

"OFF", vehicle weight on) as follows:

Today, to warm up a car engine in winter, mainly two solutions are used - alarms with auto start and pre-heaters. Which of these solutions is better? Read about the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to warming up the engine and what to choose.

The main advantage is that the engine is always heated, but at the same time it is not subjected to stress due to frequent starting, which prolongs its service life. However, the heater is quite expensive, and besides, it constantly discharges the battery, and if you do not start the engine after heating, the battery may be completely discharged, and this will not lead to anything good. Another advantage of the heater is efficiency. Its use significantly saves fuel, which also leads to some reduction in financial costs. Features and advantages of alarms with auto-start Alarms with auto-start are a more affordable and simpler solution that both protects the car and warms up the engine during long-term parking. Such systems can operate either in automatic mode, starting the engine by a timer or by an outside air temperature sensor, or in manual mode, starting the engine upon command from the key fob. An alarm system with auto start has an undoubted advantage - it is

Engine pre-heaters and air heaters "Advers"

In this article we would like to introduce you to the products of the Advers company, which manufactures engine pre-heaters and air heaters.

The action of the pre-heater is as follows: first of all, it is a heat exchanger, inside of which the combustion chamber is located; air is supplied to the chamber using a blower under pressure; fuel also gets there using a metering pump. In order to ensure constant intensive circulation of liquid through the heat exchanger body or the vehicle’s liquid circuit, an additional pump is installed on the pre-heater. The control unit is responsible for the operation of the preheater. The control unit contains all the information about what modes and how long the pre-heater worked. The processes of its operation are controlled by the control unit. It sets the operating modes of the preheater. The preheater can operate in three modes. As mentioned above, “Advers” pre-heaters are divided into those that are supplied directly to vans, buses, trucks, special equipment, and those that provide engine heating

Brief job description

Heater diagram Teplostar 14TS-10
The autonomous liquid heater Teplostar 14TS-10 is designed for preheating engine coolant in the cold season. The installed heater is connected to the vehicle’s fuel and cooling systems and to the on-board power supply. The engine heater is started manually using a control device. When started, the heater pump supplies fuel to the combustion chamber, where a fuel-air mixture is formed, ignited by the glow pin. The resulting thermal energy through the heat exchanger heats the coolant, which passes through the small engine circuit due to the operation of the heater fluid pump. When the coolant heats up to 85 degrees, the heater goes into low power mode. Your car is warmed up and ready to go!

Teplostar can be used with a running engine while driving. In this case, the heater heats the engine coolant to operating temperature.
Kit contents

The kit includes: auxiliary heater, 13L fuel tank, control panel, fuel pump, liquid pump, installation kit (fasteners, electrical wiring kit, hoses, connectors, fuel line, air intake, exhaust kit), documentation, warranty card.

Principle of operation

Autonomous engine pre-heater Teplostar 14TS-10 12 is designed to warm up a cold engine before starting. The operating principle of the Teplostar 14TS-10 12 heater is based on heating the liquid in the engine cooling system, which is forcibly pumped through the heat exchange system of the heater. The heat released during combustion of the fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, transmitted through the walls of the heat exchanger, warms up the coolant, which circulates in the vehicle’s cooling system. The Teplostar 14TS-10 12 engine heater can operate in economy mode or in pre-start mode. In Eco mode, power consumption is reduced.

According to a given program, the combustion chamber is pre-purged and the glow plug is heated to the required temperature. The candle turns on for 90 seconds. Then fuel and air are supplied. The combustion process begins in the combustion chamber. The flame indicator monitors the combustion process of the fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. All processes during the operation of the heater are coordinated and controlled by the control unit.

The Teplostar 14TS-10 12 control unit controls the coolant temperature and, depending on its temperature, selects the heater operating modes: “full”, “medium” or “small”. In the “full” mode, according to the “pre-start” program, the coolant is heated to 70°C, according to the “economy” program - up to 55°C, and when heated above 70°C or 55°C, respectively, it switches to the “medium” mode. In the “medium” mode, according to the “pre-start” or “economy” programs, the coolant is heated to a temperature of 75°C, and when heated above 75°C, the Teplostar 14TS-10 switches to the “small” mode. In the “small” mode, the coolant heats up to 80°C (in both programs), and when heated above 80°C it goes into cooling mode, the combustion process stops, the pump continues to operate and the car interior is heated. When the liquid is cooled below 55°C under the “pre-start” program, the heater automatically turns on again to the “full” mode, and under the “economy” program - to the “medium” mode.

The duration of a full cycle of operation of Teplostar 14TS-10 12 under the “pre-start” program is 3 hours, under the “economical” program 8 hours. You can turn off the engine liquid heater at any time during the cycle if desired.
