Vegtherm Standard Vegetable Oil Heater |
Unlike other heaters, the vegetable oil is not in direct contact with heating elements. Uses state of the art heating technology. Tube is internally fluted for maximum heating in the shortest possible distance. The Vegtherm is famous for fast heating of vegetable oil, and has been used on thousands of SVO conversions. It has been added to many SVO systems to boost temperature of SVO to acceptable levels where owners found that coolant-only systems were not heating quickly enough nor thoroughly enough (this is very common!).
It can also be used to preheat biodesel. Inherently self-limiting, so is more reliable than a thermostat-controlled device. The Vegsensor can also be added, for finer control of upper temperature of vegetable oil in low flow rate applications. Alternator, alternator belt, battery, etc. must all be in good conditon, and minimum recommended alternator rating is 55 amps. A "looped return" is assumed (return fuel is sent directly back to engine, not returned to the vegetable oil tank).
The Standard is recommended for most 4 and 5 cylinder diesels with an average highway fuel consumption rate of more than approximately 25 miles per gallon (less than 9.5 litres per 100 km), or, for tractors/generators/boats, etc., less than 9.5 litres per hour.
