Vehicle heating system operating independently of engine includes glow body fixed in pipe between burner chamber and fuel supply to vaporise and ignite fuel during start phase of heater

摘要

The heating system has a pipe (1) communicating with a burner chamber (2) and connected to a fuel supply (9). A glow filament (4) fixed in the pipe serves during the start up phase of the heater to vaporise and ignite the fuel. A screen element (6) in the pipe encloses the filament and forwards the fuel in the pipe to the burner chamber. The screen element inside the pipe is spaced in some areas from an inner wall (7) of the pipe facing the screen element.
