COMMERCIAL VEHICLES - Trucks, buses, coaches, PSV, construction, agricultural, mechanical handling equipment. e.g. fork lifts.
Pt.No. HS5 2.7 85 C. State if 12 or 24-volt isolator required for fleet driver use.
This heavy duty model is designed for large or small commercial vehicles operated by one or many different drivers and to withstand the rigours of fleet life where it will be needed - for example once a day 365 days a year. Pre-heats engine and vehicle heater to 85°C

EMERGENCY STAND BY VEHICLES - Fire engines, ambulances, mountain rescue, paramedics, doctors, police, midwives etc.
Pt. No. HS6 50 C FOR EMERGENCY STANDBY VEHICLES - FOR ASSURED START AND INSTANT PERFORMANCE - State if 12 or 24-volt isolator required.
This heavy duty model is designed for continuous running to maintain the engine between 30C and 50C which is below the temperature where high thermal losses from the surface of the engine block take place and yet enough to ensure the primary objectives of assured start and minimal engine wear are achieved - alll at the lowest possible running cost!

FLEET VEHICLE IGNITION ISOLATOR
With commercial vehicles often having a number of different drivers Kenlowe have incorporated as standard an engine isolator which requires the Kenlowe Hotstart plug to be disconnected from the mains extension lead and parked in a purpose made weatherproof socket. This completes the circuit ready for engine start. The socket can be secured inside or outside the vehicle - however a discreet location enables the plug to be disconnected whilst the driver is away from the vehicle for added vehicle security.

SPECIFICATION
HEATER ELEMENT
The AC 220/240-volt heater element is a double helical coil for compactness and incorporates automatic temperature cycling between 85°C (
+-) and 75°C (+-). Effectively the heater is in operation up to 85°C when it cuts off - should your departure be delayed and the temperature drops to 75°C the appliance will re-cycle to maintain optimum temperature! The standard specification for the HS5 is 2700W. min / 3000W. max and for the HS6 2000W. min / 2300W. max.

RECIRCULATING PUMP
The pump circulates hot water around entire engine and heater; yet as a recirculation (not pressure) pump it presents no obstruction to the engine/heater coolant when the engine is running and the pre-heater is not in use. The integral pump has a patented shaded pole rotor running in coolant, the stator is in an adjacent but separate section so that the magnetic field can be completed whilst allowing the design to avoid any glands or seals. The patented KENLOWE pump ensures efficient distribution of the heat and avoids what would otherwise be mainly hopeful reliance on convected or thermo syphon heat transfer which, because of poor distribution, could only be of limited watts. This would significantly limit the temperature the engine can be heated to.

WATER CONNECTIONS
Six feet of heater hose, hose connectors and hose clips are supplied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections comprise a purpose made weatherproof plug with spring loaded cap to international standards. The cable is sheathed for protection and moulded to the plug at each end. A weatherproof socket is supplied for fitment to the users own extension lead.
