Combination Heaters

C&R offers 2 versions of the “Combination Heater”.  Both utilize a self-contained, diesel-fired heater to handle all of your engine pre-heating requirements.  Its 12-volt design makes it entirely independent of an external power source, providing up to 2 hours of continuous operation on a full charge.  A 7-day timer can be programmed to start the unit at a desired time, providing you with a race car that is already up to temperature when you arrive at the track.

The Indy Car version utilizes a separate oil circuit so gearbox or engine oil can be heated to approximately 200°F in minutes.  A 3-way valve then allows for the option to heat the engine water as well.  Depending on the system, the water temp will reach 150-170°F within 30 minutes with a maximum temperature of approximately 200°F.

The Sprint car version is the same as above without the 3-way valve system.
