Engine block pre-heating can reduce fuel consumption, decrease pollution, extend engine life, and it is often necessary for reliably starting diesel engines in cold climates. This report describes the application and experience of applying 36 diesel fired coolant heaters in a demonstration school bus fleet. This demonstration was conducted at Brown Coach facilities in Amsterdam, New York and Scotia, New York. Benefits beyond those obtainable when using more traditional immersion electric block heating were experienced, including: Pre-heating to near full operating temperature without need for engine idling; Inter-run cabin auxiliary heating to facilitate anti-idling; and Supplemental heat during the drive cycle for better engine efficiency, reduced emissions, and increased passenger comfort.
