Small coolant circuit with auxiliary heater
The small coolant circuit employed with
auxiliary heating is designed to ensure rapid
warming of the passenger compartment.
With the engine stopped, the coolant shutoff
valve N279 switches to the small heating
circuit until a defined temperature value has
been attained. The coolant exiting from the
heat exchangers via the pump/valve unit is
conveyed by the circulation pump V55 into
the auxiliary heater. After being warmed, the
coolant is pumped back into the heat
exchangers and initially heats the passenger
compartment.
