Overview
|
E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine heater for the Model 270- 3" X 5-3/4" X 1/32" pad.
Note: Please see "Engine Application Guide" Click Here for the correct EZ Heat model number for your application. Preheating engines for winter operations is at best a miserable chore and at worst can be a disaster for the plane, the pilot & flight operations - until the development of the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Heater. The E-Z Heat was designed to provide very efficient engine heating for virtually all propeller driven aircraft. The heaters consist of a flexible synthetic pad that easily conforms to the contours of the oil pan. This pad will heat 12 qts of oil from -40° to +60°F in an hour while using approximately 300 watts of electricity. The heater is 1/32" thick. which enables the immediate heat transfer from heater to engine. The heaters are thermostatically controlled, so leaving them plugged in overnight means the plane will be ready to go in the morning. Normally, complete pre-heating takes only 3-5 hours for the entire engine to be nice and warm. With this new lighted plug (120V models only, 220V models include no plug to allow for European outlet variance), the owner simply needs to look out the window or peek in the hangar to see if they remembered to plug in their E-Z Heat engine pre-heater. Molded into the male plug end is a newly designed light emitting diode (LED). This LED allows the operator to visually recognize if there is electrical power to the preheat system even from a distance. FAA approved for certificated aircraft. End your cold weather starting problems and reduce premature engine wear. |

Features
Installation:The adhesive is already on the pad. All you need to do is peel and stick it on.
Preheat Time:
3 to 5 hours on cold soaked engine, although, since unit is thermostatically controlled, it may be left on overnight or all the time. Cowl covers and prop covers are recommended for extreme cold weather, they also reduce preheat time.
Lite Brite Plug:
With this new lighted plug, the owner simply has to look out the window or peek in the hangar to see if they remembered to plug in their E-Z Heat engine pre-heater.
Heat Transfer:
Convection/conduction, the safest way of heat transfer available. No flames or glowing elements are potential fire hazards.

Will plan to return item after researching another mfg product that uses aluminum strip instead of this flexible rubberized component. The Reiff product has a 5 year warranty . Aircraft Spruce apparently does not carry Reiff, although I use them 99 percent of the time for my aircraft needs. The Reiff unit is advertised as more forgiving if installation is somewhat not perfect.

so far so good. i put it on a 16kw marine generator in my boat. at least 3 other brands failed on me after a short period of time. only thing it could have been is faulty thermostats. hope this one lasts a while.
