An engine block heater is a device designed to preheat the engine block and engine oil in ATV or UTV, particularly in cold climates. By warming up the engine before starting, it facilitates easier engine ignition, reduces wear on internal components, and enhances fuel efficiency. Engine block heaters are commonly used to prevent issues like thickened engine oil and difficulty in starting the engine during extremely low temperatures.
The heater typically includes an electric heating element, a built-in water pump, and two thermostat. It connects to the ATV's cooling system, either in series or parallel, to heat the engine by warming up the coolant. This helps the engine reach its optimal operating temperature faster, enhancing performance and reducing harmful emissions.
