Liquid Heat Generator - Shear Heat

Polar is happy to announce the availability of the Liquid Heat Generator.

This belt driven heat generator is inserted into the coolant system of internal combustion engines to provide almost instantaneous heat even in the coldest weather. The Liquid Heat Generator (LHG) will add up to 45,000 BTU/hr to the engine coolant within seconds of start-up.

Many vehicles, especially those with diesel engines, require long periods at high idle to warm the engine and the vehicle interior. The LHG thus reduces idle time and the associated high concentrations of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. It also provides interior comfort quickly and thus eliminates time wasted while waiting for the vehicle to warm-up.

School Busses are often cool and uncomfortable. We have seen situations where cold interiors have resulted in frosted windows and subsequent traffic accidents. An LHG heater will add significant heat to the interior heating system and thus provide quicker comfort and clean windows. This is especially important when diesel engine heat is reduced because the engine is running at idle and not under load.

The LHG heater system is compact and self contained and is driven by a belt from the engine pulley or, in special circumstances, by a hydraulic motor Installation is not onerous and there is no maintenance required. LHG significantly reduces GHG emissions, provides operator and passenger comfort and eliminates warm-up idling; all at a very economical cost and with no ongoing maintenance requirements.
