What is a Diesel Parking Heater?

A parking heater is similar to a home central heating boiler. However, the diesel parking heater only uses diesel as fuel. The glow plug, also known as the glow plug, is heated when the parking heater is started. After twenty seconds, the fuel pump pumps diesel into the combustion chamber. An electric motor with two impellers simultaneously brings combustion air inside: one for heating air and another for combustion air. The glow coil ensures that a mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber is ignited. The combustion gases are expelled through a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger guides the warmed air through and then flows into the cabin to provide heating.

While we continue with the installation of the Liwolf Diesel Heater, understanding the basic functions will be helpful. Make sure you are familiar with these concepts before starting the installation.

Professional Installation Recommended

It is absolutely necessary that the installation of a parking heater is carried out by a qualified and experienced installer. The correct installation of the parking heater not only ensures the best performance, but also the safety and durability of both your vehicle and the parking heater.

Location determination for the 'Liwolf Parking Heater'

Before you start, you must ensure where you want to place the 'Liwolf parking heater'. Also consider the dimensions of the supplied parts. The parking heater should be placed in a safe location, as it can reach temperatures of around 110 degrees Celsius. To ensure the safest possible installation, we recommend following the steps below:

Important Considerations:

1. Proximity to Fuel Pump: Place the Liwolf parking heater as close as possible to the fuel pump. This minimizes the fuel lines and promotes efficient operation.

2. Proximity to Diesel Tank: Choose a location close to the diesel tank. This simplifies fuel supply and optimizes performance.

3. Component Dimensions: Carefully check the dimensions of the supplied components of the installation kit. Ensure that there is sufficient space available for the parking heater and all associated components.

4. Avoid Combustible Materials: Avoid locations in direct contact with combustible materials such as carpet or plastic floors. Choose a location that can withstand the high temperatures that the heater may generate.

5. Carbon monoxide detector: Always install a carbon monoxide detector near the heater. This provides extra safety by detecting any carbon monoxide emissions.

6. Using Mounting Bracket: Always use the supplied mounting bracket. This prevents direct contact with flammable surfaces and ensures a stable and secure attachment.

For a safe and effective operation of the Liwolf parking heater, it is important to place it in the right location. Take these considerations seriously and ensure that the installation is carried out in accordance with the highest safety standards.

 

Fuel Tank Information

The 'Liwolf Diesel Parking Heater Air 5D (5 kW)' consumes an average of 0.20 liters of diesel per hour. So, with a 10-liter diesel tank, you can use the parking heater for approximately +/- 50 hours.

It is also possible to install the Liwolf parking heater on an existing diesel tank of, for example, a car, camper, or boat. However, please note that additional resources may be required to achieve this.

Error codes

Sometimes it may happen that the diesel parking heater or its associated components are not connected correctly. In such cases, an error code will be displayed on the multicontrol screen. Here you will find an overview of all error codes, together with possible solutions:

E-00	No Error No error detected. Everything is working as expected.
E-01	Under Tension - Your battery is low, please charge it. Ensure that your battery is sufficiently charged to ensure proper operation.
E-02	Spanning - The tension exceeds the allowed level, bring the tension back to 12V. Check and reduce the tension if it is above the recommended level.
E-03	A. Defective Glow Plug - Check if the glow plug is still intact. B. Check Voltage - Ensure that the voltage is correct. C. Combustion Chamber Problem - If A and B are correct, dirt in the combustion chamber may be the cause. This can occur when the parking heater runs at a low temperature for an extended period. Prevent this by regularly running the parking heater at a higher temperature. (the combustion chamber video)
E-04	Fuel pump Disconnected - Check the cable to the fuel pump and make sure the plug is properly placed. This can also be caused by low voltage.
E-05	Overheating - Check if the air intake at the rear of the heater is not restricted, inspect the fan for blockages. Also, verify that the vent is not blocked and that the heating duct is not damaged, which could restrict airflow.
