recommends turning the coolant heater
off when the engine is running. A pressure
switch that senses engine oil pressure is
utilized to shut the heater off on increase
of oil pressure and to turn the heater on
when engine oil pressure drops.

All Kim Hotstart heaters with thermostats, designed to operate on 3-phase current (at any
voltage), require the use of a control system with a 3-pole contactor. All Kim Hotstart
heaters with thermostat designed to operate over 480 volt (1 phase or 3 phase) require a
control system to reduce the primary voltage to 120 volts for the control circuit. For
increased thermostat life, use a control system on all heaters above 277 volts either single
or three phase.
These control systems allow for quick electrical installation of all Kim Hotstart engine
preheaters. They are designed as a time and labor saving component. They are especially
useful on installations that require two coolant heaters or combinations of a coolant
heater and oil heater/hydraulic heater etc.

Technical Information & Heater Installation Instructions


OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Kim Hotstart Engine Heater operates on the principle of a thermosiphon. As the temperature of the coolant in the heater
tank increases, its density decreases causing it to rise through the outlet of the tank to the engine. The coolant leaving the
heater tank is replaced with coolant drawn from the engine and the cycle is repeated. A flow-through thermostat is available
for the inlet of the engine heater that keeps coolant within the preset temperature range.

CAUTION
Prior to heater installation, check the cooling system. Poor coolant conditions
will interfere with proper function of the heater and can also cause element
failure. If there is sediment or foreign matter present or the coolant does not
meet the engine manufacturers specifications, the system should be drained,
cleaned, flushed and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of low silicate antifreeze,
deionized water, and low silicate supplemental coolant additives. Do not exceed
a concentration of more than 60% antifreeze, as element failure may result. A
cooling system containing anti-leak additives can cause premature element
failure.
MOUNTING
Mount the tank heater in a horizontal position with the outlet neck pointed up.
The heater can also be mounted vertically with the inlet neck as the low point
(see figure 1).
Bolt the heater to the truck frame or skid frame on a generator package with
the mounting straps provided. See Figure 2.The heater must be mounted below
the lowest level of the engine water jacket to ensure a good gravity flow of
coolant to the heater.

CAUTION

YES

DO NOT mount the heater to the engine. Engine vibration can damage the
heater and void the warranty.
Connect the heater intake to the lowest accessible point of the water jacket. If a
connection point is unavailable in the water jacket area, connect heater intake
line to lower radiator hose.This hose should run down to heater intake.
Connect heater outlet to the highest accessible point in the engines water
jacket area at the furthest point from the engines thermostat.The heater outlet
must be connected at a higher point on the engine than the intake. See Figure
3.

FIGURE 2

YES

NO

CAUTION
DO NOT route outlet hose above engine block connection, or loop or kink hoses.
This will cause air locks in the hose and block circulation of the coolant by the
heater. See Figure 3.
To eliminate air locks in the heater and hoses, refill the engine with the heater
outlet line disconnected at the engine until outlet line is full of coolant. See
Figure 4-1.Then connect the outlet line to the engine and finish filling the
engine. See Figure 4-2.
Before energizing heater, all air must be bled out of the system by running the
engine. If not, air could be trapped in the block causing the heater to fail.

FIGURE 3

NO

NO

CAUTION
The bi-directional ball check valve located in the inlet of the heater allows a
reduced amount of coolant to reverse flow through the heater when the engine
is running.This will maintain a full coolant level in the tank at all times to
protect the element from overheating.This is a safety device only. Kim Hotstart
recommends NOT running the engine with the engine heater energized.
On standby and automatic start engines, heaters should be de-energized when
engine starts.This requires an oil pressure switch or other automatic cut-off.
These systems are often operated at voltages above the 277 Volt rating of the
Kim Hotstart thermostat and are also often 3 Phase. All heaters above 277 Volt
should be used in conjunction with a contactor and control transformer. All
three phase heaters must be used with a contactor. See pages 37, 38, and 39.

FIGURE 4

Note: It is recommended for V engines larger than eight cylinders or over 1000
C.I.D. that 2 heaters of equal wattage be used. One heater installed on each bank
of the V.
Example:To adequately heat a 1000 cubic inch V engine for ambient temperature
above -20F use (2) 2000 watt heaters total 4000 watts.
For the most efficient heating of this size engine and electrical savings, see the
forced circulatiing heating system on pages 16 & 17.

Specifying
an Engine
Pre-Heater

1. Determine the best type of heater to be used for the application.


Direct Immersion or Tank Type?
Weathertight unit for all indoor or outdoor applications (hospital, communications
building, shopping mall, pump station, off-road equipment).
Explosion Proof unit for Hazardous Locations (off-shore platform,
oil rig, gas compression station).
2. Determine engine size.
Cubic inch or litre displacement.
3. Determine wattage required by using this general formula:
3 watts x cubic inch displacement = watts required.
Example: Engine is 855 C.I.D. 855 x 3 = 2565. Requirement is 2500 watt heater.
This formula is a very good rule of thumb to use down to 0F ambient
temperature. This formula will generally hold engine temperature at
approximately 100F above ambient.
Very large engines may require a forced circulation system (see pages 16, 17 and 59).
4. Now that you have the required wattage, you need to determine:
Voltage available that will power the heater (120, 208, 277, 240, 380, 480).
Is the power source Single Phase or Three Phase?
5. For thermostat selection, determine the desired engine temperature to be maintained.
100F to 120F applies 95% of the time. However, specifications vary with respect
to the user and a higher or lower range may be required.
You now have the specifications needed to select the required engine pre-heater
from the many products listed in this catalog. For other technical information and
installation tips, see pages 40 and 55. If you have other questions or need additional
assistance, please contact our customer service department.
