Motor für Kraftfahrzeuge mit Heizvorrichtung

摘要

In an engine for a motor vehicle, the engine housing (1) has a recess (3) in communication with the engine coolant stream (4). A heater (8) with a housing (12) and a rotor (17) that may be rotated by the engine and is located in the housing (12) may be mounted in said recess (3). The rotor (17) heats by shearing a viscous liquid (38) contained in the housing (12) and its heat is transmitted to the engine cooling medium.
