Circulating coolant heater

On gasoline vehicles?

 

Lol. No.

 

That was his question.

 

Yeah. I was thinking I could be helpful and then remembered

 

Merry Christmas man! Hope you enjoy your time off as much as I am. I am off for two weeks, trying to recover from this year.

 

Oh yeah, about that. I have no time off. It...doesn’t exist. But it will be a quiet holiday. Merry Christmas to you as well!

 

Sorry man. From about June thru November I worked between 12 and 16 hr days including weekends. My wife came to stay with me as I was not home for much of that time. Took a few days off to go to the beach but even then was meetings. Now, after two years, I am finished with that project.

 

@Ack_Thbbft I was bored so here's some real world numbers on how the OEM block heater performs. I have an oil pan and battery heater as well. You can see the heat generated radiates through the engine and transmission. The first hour gives the biggest increase and puts the coolant temperature into a fairly normal range where most people would just start the truck, idle for a minute and go.

Right when I plugged it in, temp was -3°F.



One hour



Two hours.



Three hours.



Four hours.
