AIR INTAKE HEATER WITH VERTICALLY ORIENTED HEATING ELEMENTS

摘要

A heating device (210) for use in an internal combustion engine for heating the air entering the cylinder head from the intake manifold. The heating device (210) includes a frame (212) having a body defining an air intake opening and a hanger extending from the body. The heating device (210) further includes a first resistance ribbon (256) and a terminal assembly (216) coupled to the frame (212), electrically connected to the first resistance ribbon (256) and electrically connectable with a power source (277). Finally, the heating device (210) includes securing means for coupling the first resistance ribbon (256) to the hanger in a vertical orientation.
