摘要:
A modular intake heater for an internal combustion engine. The heater includes a first holder, a second holder, a heating element positioned between the first and second holders, and a retainer mechanism coupling the first holder to the second holder to retain the heating element therebetween. In alternative embodiments of the invention the retainer mechanism includes a clip mechanism and a grommet lockingly engaging a bolt disposed within passages defined by the first and second holders.
摘要:
An air intake heater system includes an air heater adapted to be positioned in communication with an intake passageway of an engine and a controller. The controller is operable to repeatedly supply current and discontinue the supply of current to provide a desired energy output of the air heater.

A modular intake heater is provided for an internal combustion engine. The heater includes a first heater subassembly, a second heater subassembly, an access panel coupled to an intake, and a retainer mechanism coupling the first heater subassembly and the second heater subassembly to the access panel.
摘要:
An air intake assembly for an internal combustion engine includes an intake member having a passage for communicating air and a heater. The heater includes a first holder, a second holder, a heating element positioned between the first holder and the second holder, biasing means for urging one of the first holder and the second holder away from the other of the first holder and the second holder, and a retention mechanism coupling the first holder and the second holder to the intake member within the passage. The retention mechanism includes first and second tabs coupled to the first holder and second holders which biasedly engage the intake member.

A modular intake heater for an internal combustion engine. The heater includes a first holder, a second holder, a heating element coupled to the first holder, biasing means for urging one of said first holder and said second holder away from the other of said first holder and said second holder, and a retainer mechanism coupling the first holder to the second holder against the urging of the biasing means.
摘要:
An air intake for an internal combustion and a heater for use in the air intake includes a mounting flange, a frame coupled to the mounting flange and having a pair of opposed upright walls each defining an upstream face and a downstream face relative to a direction of airflow, a heating element assembly, and coupling means located on or between the upstream and downstream faces for connecting the heating element assembly to the frame and limiting movement of the heating element assembly relative to the frame.
摘要:
A heating device for use in an internal combustion engine for heating the air entering the cylinder head from the intake manifold. The heating device includes a frame having a body defining an air intake opening and a hanger extending from the body. The heating device further includes a first resistance ribbon and a terminal assembly coupled to the frame, electrically connected to the first resistance ribbon and electrically connectable with a power source. Finally, the heating device includes securing means for coupling the first resistance ribbon to the hanger in a vertical orientation.
摘要:
A modular electrical power cord system that finds particular utility for use in truck engines having at least two engine block heaters. A primary cord is used with one of a plurality of different jumper cords whose length most closely matches the distance between the heaters.
摘要:
A heating device for use in an internal combustion engine having an intake defining a passage is disclosed. The intake includes an opening in communication with the passage. The heating device includes a one-piece housing having a mounting flange portion and a first leg portion positioned substantially parallel to and spaced apart from a second leg portion. The mounting flange is adapted to mount to the intake and cover the opening. The heating element is coupled to the one-piece housing and positioned between the first and second leg portions. The heating element is positioned in a heat transfer relation with the passage to thereby heat air flowing through the passage.
