Overview
Preheating is accomplished using electrical resistance heat in the form of thin pads sized and shaped to fit various parts. The pads are surface mounted with a bonding adhesive. This includes engine, accessory and propeller reduction gearboxes, attached accessories, and engine oil tank. Power is routed to the heating elements through a dedicated shore power plug, circuit protection, and wiring assembly. System is self-regulating, heated components reach an average state of thermal equilibrium in approximately six hours.

Heli-Preheat System – Airbus (Eurocopter) AS350D with Lycoming LTS101
Preheat is supplied through electrical resistance elements in the form of thin pads sized and shaped to fit engine, main & tail rotor gearboxes, and oil tanks. Power is routed to the elements through a dedicated wiring assembly with circuit overload protection and power indicator light. System is self-regulating through design. Heated components reach an average state of thermal equilibrium in approximately six hours. RTB0001 required. This kit is not eligible for an 8130-3. |
