Lube Oil Heaters and Heating Pads

Model OE, OW

Lube oil heaters that thread into the engine oil pan, plus silicone heating pads.

Description

OE and OW lube oil heaters thread into the engine oil pan to keep oil warm, transferring all thermal energy directly to the oil. When cold, oil becomes very viscous and may not protect engine components; warm oil at start-up reaches critical wear points and allows easier starts. Adhesive silicone/fiberglass heating pads are ideal for oil pans, engine blocks, hydraulic reservoirs and diesel fuel tanks.

Key features

  • Heat power of 75 to 500 W
  • AC voltages as well as 12 and 24 V DC
  • OE series is for hazardous-location engine applications and has no thermostat
  • Threaded mounting; CSA certification
  • Low watt density heaters recommended when heating gear oil

Applications

  • Engine oil pans, engine blocks, hydraulic reservoirs and diesel fuel tanks
