We’re excited to introduce our newly designed solid-state thermostats.

These are now being integrated into our Peregrine thermosiphon engine preheaters.

Engineered to overcome the leading cause of mechanical thermostat failures, engine vibration.

Our innovative thermostats offer enhanced performance and durability in even the most demanding environments, offering more efficient, reliable, and an environmentally-friendly solution.

Thermosiphon engine preheaters are devices used to preheat engines before starting, ensuring that engines are warmed up to the right operating temperature, even in the coldest conditions. This process is crucial for reducing engine wear, improving fuel efficiency, and minimising emissions during cold starts.

Traditionally, these preheaters have relied on mechanical thermostats to regulate temperature. However, with the introduction of our solid-state thermostats, there is a significant upgrade in terms of precision, reliability, and energy efficiency.

The Advantages of Solid State Thermostats

Solid-state thermostats are electronic devices that do not contain any components sensitive to vibration, making them more durable. In contrast, mechanical thermostats, which have a biometric design, are sensitive to vibration, which can shorten their lifespan.

This absence of moving components results in several benefits:

1. Enhanced Reliability: Solid state thermostats are less prone to failure, as they eliminate the mechanical wear and tear associated with traditional thermostats. This reliability is critical in maintaining consistent preheating operations, especially in harsh conditions.

2. Improved Precision: These thermostats offer highly accurate temperature control, ensuring that engines are heated to the exact required temperature, thereby optimising performance and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

3. Energy Efficiency: With better precision comes enhanced energy efficiency. Solid-state thermostats reduce the risk of overheating and the corresponding waste of energy, leading to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint.

4. Durability: Built to withstand extreme temperatures and conditions, solid-state thermostats offer longevity that surpasses that of conventional thermostats. This durability makes them ideal for use in challenging environments where engine reliability is paramount.

Solid-state thermostats are set to become a standard in the industry. This means more reliable engine start-ups, reduced maintenance costs, and a greater commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Why choose Preheat’s new solid state thermostat

Key Advantages of Our Solid-State Thermostats:

– Enhanced Accuracy and Efficiency: Leveraging electronic components for precise temperature control.

– Extended Lifespan: Eliminates physical switches, reducing wear and tear.

– Improved Durability: Less susceptible to dirt, dust, and mechanical failure.

– Simplified Temperature Adjustment: Easily adjustable with a wide range of applications.

 

 

Unlike traditional mechanical thermostats, which rely on delicate switches and levers, our solid state models are designed to withstand the rigours of vibration prone environments. 

Advanced Features:

– Wide Temperature Range: Adjustable from 10°C to 70°C via an easy-to-use potentiometer.

– Built-In Hysteresis: Prevents oscillation in the heating element’s on/off cycle, ensuring consistent performance.

– Safety Monitoring: Actively checks the rate of temperature change to detect potential issues like sludge accumulation or sensor malfunction, automatically deactivating the heating element to prevent damage.

– Visual Indicators: A flashing LED shows the status of the relay, while a red LED alerts you to any fault conditions.

Our new solid-state thermostats represent a significant advancement in engine heater technology.
