Product Information

The most common type of diesel heater is the air heater which simply blows out hot air. The air and water heater blows hot air and acts as a water heater. Finally, the most modern type of diesel heater is the hydronic heater which blows hot air and heats water but also use the excess heat energy produced by the engine as a fuel source, effectively providing a limited amount of free energy from your drives. As we’ve already seen, van life diesel heaters fall into two distinct categories: expensive European heaters and cheap Chinese and Russian heaters.
