Induction air heating system for vehicle engines feeds high temperature combustion gas to induction side before or during heat exchange with fluid for heater core for improved starting

摘要

The system has a heater core (14) for heating a passenger compartment, a burner (15) for burning fuel to heat a fluid that circulates through the heater core and a heat transport arrangement (18-20) between the burner and the induction side (2) of the engine to transport the heat of a high temperature combustion gas from the burner to the induction side during an engine starting process. The high temperature combustion gas is fed to the induction side before or during the heat exchange with the fluid for the heater core.
