– PTI’s silicone pad heaters protect engines and hydraulic systems against falling temperatures –
Eden Prairie, MN (1/15/2019) Phillips & Temro Industries (PTI), the developer and manufacturer of engine heating and cooling products, has launched Silicone Pad Heaters for the European market to fulfill market demand.
Cold weather compromises oils, lubricants and fuel systems, making them the single most critical issue in cold regions. PTI CE certified Silicone Pad Heaters are electronic heating pads designed to provide warmth to areas with fluid that are susceptible to freezing or thickening. They utilize direct heat transfer to maintain viscosity in cold weather applications and are applicable to standby generators, automotive and SUVs, light and heavy-duty trucks, and off-road equipment. The Silicone Pad heaters are available in various sizes, 12VDC, 24VDC and 230VAC to address a wide range of applications.
PTI will leverage new distribution channels in Europe, the largest market for standby generators driven by economic growth, demand for steady power supply and environmental cold weather applications. Silicone pads help ensure fast generator start up by preheating batteries, fuel filters, gear boxes, hydraulic tanks and engine oil.
PTI has three categories of Silicone Pad Heaters:
- Adhesive mounting on smooth metal surfaces to warm engine oil and hydraulic fluid;
- Flexible pad heaters that wrap around metal diesel fuel filters with a hook and loop closure; and
- Slim design battery heaters that are acid resistant and easily installed in the battery box or tray.
“Cold weather starts can be frustrating and costly if generators and engines are not properly prepared,” said Tom Moser, President, Phillips & Temro Industries. “CE certified Silicone Pad Heaters complement PTI’s line of products for the gen set market, including block heaters, circulation heaters, fuel warming product to prevent diesel gelling, and engine fans that can be designed to meet exacting cooling performance and noise specifications.”
