Overview
Fixed Wing Preheat System – DHC-8 Q400 PW150.
Full aircraft preheating is accomplished through electrical resistance heat in the form of thin pads and belts sized and shaped to fit various parts. The pads are surface mounted with a bonding sealant/adhesive. Belts are secured around the perimeter with cable ties. Heated items include, engine accessory/reduction gearboxes, fluids, batteries, and attached accessories. Power is routed to the heat elements through a dedicated wiring assembly with power indication and circuit overload protection. System is self-regulating through design. Heated components reach an average state of thermal equilibrium in approximately six hours.
This kit is not eligible for an 8130-3.

Heli-Preheat Kit – Robinson R44 – 115V Standard (CHT wells not required).
Preheat is applied through electrical resistance heat elements located in each cylinder assembly, on engine crankcase and oil sump/tank, main and tail rotor gearboxes, and hydraulic reservoir, preheat critical components, oil, and attached accessories. 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. Known Engines: O-540-F1B5 , IO-540-AE1A5 This preheat kit when installed will supply 633 watts with a 5.5 amp draw at 115 volts. |
