Interior Heater
The means of heating the interior of a car, depending on the diversion of engine coolant to a small radiator through which air is driven into the passenger compartment by an electric fan. The flow of hot coolant is controlled by a valve and the air is ducted from outside the vehicle, so that fresh air is constantly supplied and, when the coolant flow is shut off, the air flow gives some cooling effect. |
