• for heating of various confined spaces, of vehicles for example driver’s cabin
or cargo compartment of vans or trucks at ambient temperatures up to -45°C.;
• for heating cabins, cargo compartments and other various confined spaces of
maritime transport;
The heater operates independently of the vehicle engine.

heater is channelled to cabins and desired spaces via outlet channels.
Fuel is supplied by a separate fuel pump from the fuel tank of the vehicle or vessel or
from an additional fuel tank.
The heater can be powered by a battery of the vehicle or a separate battery.
Temperature in rooms can be regulated by using a temperature sensor and a control
panel, which sets heating parameters.
When a temperature sensor is present (either built in to the control panel or additionally
installed), the heater is constantly comparing the actual temperature with the set temperature
and automatically adjusts the heating capacity according to the heat demand
