PTC Heater Core

Overview

The PTC Heater (electrical type) is a heater supporting system. It is added to an existing heater core. The Electrically operated system helps to heat air which exits from an existing heater core. Because diesel engines have better cooling loss during low engine load as compared with gasoline engines, the engine coolant temperature does not rise adequately, this effects heater performance.

Operation Condition

  • Engine running
  • Blower motor: turned ON
  • Air mix motor: Max Hot position
  • Outside temperature is low
  • The number of operating PTC heater(s) change(s) with engine coolant temperature
