BENEFIT
Here’s how it works
Fleet managers use engine coolant heaters to
prevent costly “no starts”. The heaters are
routinely plugged in when the ambient air reaches
a specified low temperature, typically around
32° F (0°C). The heaters installed on vehicles
parked in the bay continuously draw electrical
current until the driver unplugs prior to start up.
Energy costs are reduced by controlling electric
power consumption with the Phillips and Temro
thermostat system. The thermostat regulates the
coolant temperature by cycling the heater on and
off according to the temperature range settings.
This ensures a fleet owner or manager control over
electric costs whether the truck is parked in the bay
or away. (Turn to the backside of this sheet to view
the thermostats available at Phillips and Temro and
actual test results).

DATA SHEET
Thermostatically Controlled Engine Immersion Heaters
Test results illustrate potential cost savings
Tests conducted with the thermostat system in extremely
cold Minneapolis, and the less severe climates of Boston
and Kansas City, reveal the benefit of using a thermostat with a
750 Watt heater on a Cummins 3.9L ISBe engine. It is evident
that the thermostat system greatly reduces heater operating
hours and electrical costs in each of the cold weather months.
Weather conditions, block heater wattage, and engine size
will determine the best thermostat model to use. A lower
temperature thermostat setting improves economy. A higher
temperature thermostat setting provides more engine heat.
