Why Aerotherm
Aerotherm’s Hot Air System has witnessed many copycats over the years. Examples: Chinese space heaters hooked up to a dryer hose and poorly-made heaters inside converted tool boxes. There is no better way of transferring heat than by heating air. Copycats know this as well. However, these are not efficient heaters for the following reasons:
1. Ineffective increase in air temperature when operating in 10 or 20 degree air.
2. No operational thermostat.
3. Must be attended during operation, just like propane heaters.
We tested the Heater in the Tool Box.
It was able to increase air temperature 50 degrees. That was operating in a 70 degree room.
Aerotherm will increase air temperature to well over 100 degrees. This is done by its dual coil heating system. The first coil pre-heats the air prior to entering the second coil. The Aerotherm heater works just like the furnace in your house. It has a hot forced air outlet and a cold air return. You would not
attempt to heat cold outside air when heating your home.
Aerotherm continually returns air from the engine compartment and continually increases the air temperature. The outside temperature is irrelevant. This method is very effective and much faster than trying to warm cold air and blow it into one side of the engine. Our tests show that our heater, in a 24 hour time frame, only needs to run an average of 40% of the time. It raises the air temperature three times higher than other hot air electrical systems and holds the temperature set on the thermostat.
The unit is American Made, designed for continuous use, and does not need to be attended. You will notice pictures from Weather.Com on our website. The Weather Channel uses our system to defrost their large radar dishes. N.A.S.A purchased the AeroTherm to heat the inside of an aircraft at 60,000 feet so the computer would operate normally.
The difference between hot air and resistant heaters
Resistant heaters place heat in one area and use metal to transfer heat. This works just fine. However, this process creates moisture in the engine. One major manufacturer is selling a dehumidifier to resolve this issue. They suggest that as long as the plane is flown after this type of heating, the moisture will burn off. But what do you do when you can’t fly?
Our system is simple, portable, compatible with any aircraft, warranted for five years and made modular so every component can be changed out quickly. It might be the only heater you’ll ever buy.
