The submarine on "Gazelle": description, characteristics, installation and reviews

As you know, as a cabin heater for domestic cars leaves much to be desired. And if on passenger cars with this problem can tolerate, then on the commercial vehicles – no. Because sometimes you have to transport goods over long distances. Some work on clarifying the regular stove, but the result exceeds expectations. The right choice – setting avtonomki. On the "Gazelle" it also set. Well, let's look at that represents this element and how to install it.

Characteristics

The auxiliary heater (or in the language of the drivers “hair dryer”) – this device, which serves for heating the cabin, and the engine. In the latter case, “hair dryer” called pre-heater. The submarine itself is a small device measuring 25 by 20 centimeters. Is mounted in the cabin or in the engine compartment. Is a separate, stand-alone engine. Usually runs on diesel. But some people put the gas on submarine "Gazelle". Additionally, the salon is a timer, by which the device is programmed. On expensive models such as “instructions” running can be done with the FOB, remotely. The heater is powered from the onboard network is 12 or 24 volts. Fuel for combustion is taken from the tank or from a separate container (usually a small, 10-litre plastic tank). Thus, when burning a mixture produced by thermal energy which is then sent to the salon. The car engine can be turned off. The submarine is a Parking heater and it works regardless of the regular stove or motor. By the way, exhaust gases are vented through a separate pipe to the outside. Thus, the driver receives clean air in the cabin.

Varieties

The Submarine on ‘gazelles" may be different. There are several data types heaters:

• Dry.
• Wet.

Dry submarine – a cheaper option heater. However, this “hair dryer” is deprived of the function of your engine. He does not connect with the cooling system of the internal combustion engine. Therefore, when working heats only the cabin or the cockpit. Reviews say that this type of autonomic not suitable for diesel vehicles. So install it only reasonable to ‘gazelles’ with engines ZMZ and UMP. Although some put on "Cummins". But in this case would not be pre-heating system. The motor is harder to start in cold weather.

Wet avtonomki

They are mainly installed on the trucks. Their peculiarity is that they interact with the coolant (hence such a distinctive name) of the engine. During operation, heat is generated to heat not only the cabin, but the motor.

Experienced motorists know how hard it is to have a diesel engine in a strong frost. Thickens because not only diesel, but oil. The crankshaft is very hard to crank in such conditions. The auxiliary heater is able to raise the engine temperature to 40 degrees Celsius. This is a significant plus for diesel cars.

Manufacturers

The Main producers of wet avtonomok:

• “instructions”.
• “Eberspracher”.

Additionally the system can be equipped with a GSM module with programmable start avtonomki. But the trouble is that the cost of such heaters starts from 50 thousand rubles. And if the wheel truck of the type “Volvo" is a small expense, for small the ‘gazelles’ is a significant waste of resources. In addition, the number of the cab they are different. And “instructions” mainly produces avtonomki 2-3 kilowatts. As shown, for ‘gazelles" enough and one and a half kilowatts of power. The question arises: what kind of submarine to choose?

Planar

This is the Russian equivalent of “Instructions”. For ‘gazelles" perfect avtonomka from the 2D. Reviews say that this model is heats the cabin and at -30 degrees. The initial cost of the heater is 22 thousand rubles. Additionally, the model can be equipped with a GSM modem. If you put the submarine on the "Gazelle" with diesel, it should be understood that this “hair dryer” is not dry and pre-heater. However, the device copes with its primary function – heated cab. The submarine, on the "Gazelle" is installed, has the following specifications:

• Maximum power – 1.8 kW.
• Fuel Consumption – 240 milliliters per hour.
• The Volume of heated air – 75 cubic meters per hour.
• Fuel Used – diesel.
• Rated power – 12 or 24 V.
• Trigger Mode – manual.
• Total weight – 10 kg.

Package contents

The package "Planar 2D" includes:

• Auxiliary heater.
• Fuel tank 7 liters.
• Remote control.
• Fittings, hoses and components fasteners.

Set the submarine on the "Gazelle" with his own hands or in the service center. Recommended mounting specialized workshops. If the installation will be done with your hands, you automatically lose the warranty. The good oneswho are engaged in sale of such heaters, produce and installation. To put “hair dryer” right on the spot. By the time it takes no more than four hours. The cost of installation does not exceed five thousand roubles. Below we'll look at how to carry out installation.

How to install a submarine on the "Gazelle"?

First we need to decide on a place. Where usually are installing avtonomki on ‘gazelles"? It is often hidden under the passenger double seat. So you check out. The seat is mounted on four studs with bolts. We'll need a key for 10 (preferably with a ratchet). Do not forget to put all washers and nuts in a separate box and pull the seat out. The Chair is moderately easy, so you can cope alone. Further, the bent part of the upholstery of the floor and drilled several technological holes. They must match the outside diameter of the tubes that go to the fuel supply and at the output of the exhaust gas. Then connect the tank. It can be placed between the cab and the box – this is the most clean place. But ensure that after the installation has been provided normal access to the fuel filler neck. Then laying the fuel pipes and threading through the holes and connecting them to the submarine. Now was the electrical part. Need to file a “plus” and “minus” from the battery. Wires are routed under the floor. Near the gearshift lever is in the junction of floor coverings – between it and the conducting cord. It is derived from the vehicle battery through a small hole in the lower right side of the cab. If you look from the engine compartment, it is located just behind the battery (a little bit higher and hidden elastic). The timer is connected according to the scheme specified in the instruction manual. He unit is displayed upward and is attached to the back wall (between the driver's and passenger seat). In case you have a sleeping bag, you will need a corrugation length of at least two meters. It is important that it was heat resistant: the air from avtonomki very hot, and plastic can melt. Corrugation connected through the splitter and pull the sleeping bag. In the roof making the hole of the appropriate diameter. Corrugation is laid on the right side of the passenger seat. So set the submarine on the "Gazelle". It only remains to install in place of the regular seat and clip it onto those nuts.

Conclusion

So we figured out how to set the submarine on the "Gazelle" and why the need for this element. Auxiliary heater - a very useful thing for the truck. With it, you forget the eternal problem with the regular stove, because the power of the "Hairdryer" will be enough.
