How Long Does The Kats Heaters Circulating Tank Heater Take To Warm Up
Question:
How long to heat a V-8 to operating temp in hours at say 0 degrees
asked by: Wayne
Expert Reply:
For starters, the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 would most likely not bring the engine up to operating temperature as that is not its intended purpose. The purpose of the unit is to preheat the engine to a reasonable temperature before startup.
Unfortunately, there would be no way to give an accurate figure as to how long the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 will take to warm your fluids as there are just too many variables involved. These variable include but are not limited to your vehicle's cooling capacity as well as the ambient temperature.
The heater as the title suggest is thermostatically controlled and will shut off when the thermostat reaches 175 degrees fahrenheit. The time it will take to get to this temperature will again vary based on the above factors. The manufacturer does not give a time estimate.
