Ez heat how does it work

But putting the control box to the side of the drain plug puts the side of the heating element over the side of the oil pan, which has semicircular cutouts long the sides allowing for the application of a long socket wrench when undoing the oil pan.

There was really only one place to put it--the entire thing behind the drain plug, with the control box towards the plug. This wasnt great though as the oil pan is sloping up there, the rear edge of the heating pad is completely against the rear edge of the oil pan towards the accessory gearbox , and--most importantly--the control box is near behind the drain plug.

The curvature of the pan in that location led to the control box not sticking along one edge, despite my preheating all surfaces per the directions and applying pressure longer than the specified 15 minutes. I hope that this wont result in the whole pad peeling off or otherwise coming unstuck over time.

It seems this model should really be just a bit narrower with a centered control box on the short side. Perhaps a 3. I hope mine stays put. The product I am sure is a good product however it will not fit my application. I had to order another part to accommodate. It was disappointing not having more information to know whether it would fit.

The measurements provided do not include the thermostat thus you need additional surface area to make the contact. Had to remove it and confirmed that when you plug it in, it will attempt to burn down your hangar.

Ordered a REIF which has been a success.

Per the supplier: You can leave this on for about a week or two as long as you fly your aircraft at least once or twice a month. These are the same units, only difference is the input voltage.

The is intended for use with v input voltage. The is intended for v input voltage. The USA wall outlets are all v. The heaters can take a slight curve but can not be creased due to the fact that they have heating elements throughout the pad so they can get broken, burning out the pad, if creased or bent to sharply. The round sump will take the which has tabs so that you don't have to bend it.

As long as the paint is in good shape and not chipping or pealing off, you can just stick it on the painted sump. It would depend on the aircraft. On my I ran the cable down the engine mount and zip tied it where I could plug it in through the opening on the bottom of the cowl. This is mostly to heat the oil to prevent wear at start up, but their will be some ambient heat that would spread through the engine. We also offer Tanis systems that have heating elements for the cylinders, if you would like a total heating solution.

Quick Shop. Length Quantity. Your Cart. Quantity Delete. Add Options. EZ Heat Model No. 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. 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 hours for the entire engine to be nice and warm. With this new lighted plug V models only, V 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. E-Z Heat Installation Instructions. Installation: The adhesive is already on the pad. Time-Saving: You will no longer have to wait for the FBO to get to your airplane for engine preheats. Plug the system in either three to five hours ahead of time or the night before your flight and when you get there, the aircraft is ready to go! Lightweight: The entire E-Z Heat system weighs less than 9 ounces.
