b) diagnostics of the heater units during the whole operation;
- in case of loss of operability of one of the controlled nodes;
- when the parameters go beyond the permissible limits (temperature, voltage);
– in case of flame failure in the combustion chamber.
When determining the malfunction of the control unit, it is necessary to make sure that all components of the air heater are in good condition, and then replace
control unit, and if the air heater with a new control unit is operational, then the removed one is considered inoperative and must be replaced.
Dismantle the control unit to carry out in the sequence specified in subsection 5.5. Installation when replacing the control unit is carried out in reverse order.
– Appointment, dismantling and replacement of the combustion chamber .
The evaporative combustion chamber (see Fig. 11) is designed to create and burn an air-fuel mixture.
A sign of the failure of the combustion chamber is the failure to start the heater
(with all other serviceable elements of the heater), increased CO content (more than 1%), temperature increase (more than 500 ° C) in the exhaust gases, burnout or loss of tightness in the combustion chamber housing.

8 Appointment, dismantling and replacement of the heat exchanger
Heat exchanger pos. 1 (Fig. 12) is designed to transfer heat from hot gases generated from the combustion of the air-fuel mixture to radiators pos.4 (Fig. 12) which, in turn, transfer heat to the air.
Malfunctions that may occur during the operation of the heat exchanger are the loss of thermal conductivity due to the deposition of products
combustion of diesel fuel on the internal walls and fins of the heat exchanger, as well as burnout as a result of non-compliance with the rules for operating the heater and, as a result, loss of tightness and the release of combustion products into the heated
room. The heat exchanger should be dismantled in the sequence specified in subsection 5.7, while in order to remove the radiators it is necessary to remove the clamps pos. 5 (see figure 12). It is not allowed to remove the radiators without removing the clamps.
After dismantling, clean the inside of the heat exchanger from carbon deposits and
soot. When replacing the heat exchanger, installation is carried out in the reverse order, while it is necessary to replace parts 813 and 817 (gaskets) (see fig. 2) . It is not allowed to move radiators fixed with clamps along the heat exchanger in order to avoid scratches on its surface.
Appointment, fault detection, dismantling and replacement of the fuel pump.
The fuel pump (Fig. 13) is used to dose the fuel into the combustion chamber.
The main parameters of the fuel pump:
– rated supply voltage – 12 V or 24 V (depending on the heater);
a) 4.5 - 5 Ohm (for 12 V fuel pump);
b) 14.5-16 Ohm (for 24 V fuel pump).
– Possible types of malfunctions of the fuel pump as part of the heater:
a) during the start of the heater, fuel does not flow to the fuel pipe of the heater and no characteristic knocking is heard in the fuel pump;
b) fuel is delivered to the fuel tube of the heater with a delay
(2 start attempts exhausted).
5.9.2 Troubleshooting and determining the performance of the fuel pump should be carried out as follows:
– before eliminating possible malfunctions, it is necessary to check the presence and quality of fuel in the tank;
– make sure that the electrical wiring and connectors are in good condition;
- make sure that the fuel pump works when the heater is turned on and a characteristic knock is heard from the movement of the piston inside the pump.
It is allowed to remove the fuel pump and shake it (if a characteristic knock is not heard, then the piston may stick inside the pump due to long-term storage or due to failure to take preventive measures).
activities according to the Operation Manual);
– make sure that the fuel line is sealed all the way to the fuel pump and from the fuel pump to the heater;
– check the tightness of the connection between the fuel pump housing and
inlet fitting. The test should be carried out with air at a pressure not exceeding
1kgf / cm 2. Apply pressure from the inlet and outlet side at the same time. If the connection is leaking, then install the fitting on the sealant.
If all of the above malfunctions are eliminated, then it is necessary to check the fuel pump for performance. Install the fuel pump in the fuel supply system to the heater heater and the pumping device
fill the fuel line up to the heater with fuel. Remove the fuel line from the fuel tube of the heater and place it in a beaker with a volume of 50-100 ml with a division value of not more than 1 ml to measure its performance.
Start the heater and check how much fuel the fuel pump will pump into the beaker in two automatic attempts to start the heater. The amount of fuel in the beaker should be 5.5? 6 ml. If the amount of fuel
will be less or more than 5.5 - 6 ml, then replace the fuel pump.
Traditionally, a house, an apartment, an extension, in extreme cases, a garage, if it serves as a part-time workshop, needs heating. Both industrial and public premises are heated, and even open areas, for example, with the help of infrared heaters.
But in a harsh winter, car interiors also need to be heated: trucks, buses, and the like.
An installation that heats the cab or driver's workplace with the help of warm air flows is called an air heater. The design includes a heating element, a pump for supplying diesel fuel, ballasts and wires for connecting the elements. The devices are produced by the Russian plant Planar (Samara) and are characterized by an affordable price with high efficiency, as evidenced by the reviews. In the photo - a heating car installation.
The principle of operation of the Planar air heater is as follows: the fuel mixture is pumped into the combustion chamber by a pump. The heat generated during combustion is transferred to the heat exchanger. The latter is blown by an air stream, and then the heated air is supplied to the driver's cab. Combustion products are removed from the car interior, therefore it is forbidden to use the Planar heater in enclosed spaces - a garage, a workshop.
The fuel mixture for the device is diesel fuel obtained from the tank. The heater works offline, regardless of the state of the engine.
Each time the heater is turned on, a preliminary test of the overheating sensor, pump status, burner indicator and electrical circuits is carried out. If there is a deviation in the state of the elements according to the instructions, the ignition will not be initiated. If the test is successful, the combustion chamber is pre-purged - the air is removed from the passenger compartment, the candle ignites, and then a mixture of fuel and combustion air is supplied. Upon reaching normal stable combustion, the candle is turned off.
When switched off, the supply of the fuel mixture is stopped, the burner is extinguished and the combustion chamber is purged.
The temperature is adjusted automatically, according to the set value: from 15 to 30 degrees. When the air temperature in the cabin reaches the set value, the device switches to a mode with less heat output. If the difference between the parameters is large, the device may activate the ventilation mode, which helps to cool the workplace. When the air temperature drops, the Planar autonomous heater switches to a more active mode. Optionally, the device can be equipped with a remote temperature sensor, which is located in the cabin
Installation of the installation is carried out only by specialists.
The device works offline - the engine can be turned off.
Reported low fuel consumption. The latter is supplied to the heater from the tank.
The products of combustion are removed from the car interior, providing a clean atmosphere inside.
The device is compact and lightweight - up to 12 kg depending on the model. At the same time, the cabin is heated literally in a matter of minutes. The photo shows a sample.
Affordable cost.
The disadvantages include some limitations in application - the installation cannot be placed in places where dust accumulates or accumulation of vapors of flammable substances is possible, and a battery is also required.
The Planar heater is equipped with several security systems that ensure stable operation of the device and emergency shutdown in case of emergency.
If the launch attempt fails, a second attempt is made by default. If start-up is still impossible, the device switches off.
In the event of a burner malfunction, the device switches off immediately.
It also automatically shuts off when the heat exchanger overheats. When the current decreases or jumps, the unit turns off.
All of the above events are reflected on the remote control by flashing the LED - red or orange, in a certain mode. The instruction contains a decoding of the signals, which allows you to quickly determine the cause of the non-working state, as evidenced by user reviews. In the photo - the control panel.
You can extend the life of an autonomous heater and significantly reduce repair costs by following the rules of use recommended in the instructions.
Fuel - it is known that the efficiency of the engine depends on the ambient temperature. For the Planar heater, it is also recommended to comply with certain conditions. So, at temperatures up to -5 C, diesel fuel 3-0.2 is used, at values from -5 to -20 C, it is desirable to use a mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel, and at lower temperatures - A-0.4 brand fuel.
It is recommended to turn on the heater for 5-10 minutes once a month, even when there is no need to heat the passenger compartment. Thus, the appearance of film deposits in the fuel pump is anticipated.
Do not turn off the device until the end of the purge phase. At any other time, a shutdown is possible.
The charge level of the battery should be checked. If the car is not used for a long time, then the Planar heater must be disconnected from the battery.
Do not connect the heater to the electrical circuit of the machine while the engine is running. The device is powered only from the battery, regardless of the weight of the vehicle.
When refueling the vehicle, the device must be switched off.
Repair of the device is recommended to be entrusted to specialists. However, with simple problems that are not related to the burner and damage to electrical parts, you can handle it yourself, judging by the reviews. The instructions that come with the device describe in detail the most likely of them.
Quite often, if the recommendations for switching to winter fuel are not followed, the fuel filter waxes. As a result, the Planar device does not turn on. In this case, you should first change the fuel to the one corresponding to the weather conditions, and check the operation of the fuel intake. If, after cleaning its filter, the Planar heater still does not work, the fuel supply pump should be dismantled, and, having unscrewed the fitting, remove the filter. The element is washed in gasoline and blown with compressed air, and then installed in place. The fitting at the end of the repair should be fixed on the sealant. The video shows the filter cleaning process in more detail.
