USA Diesel LHG (Liquid Heat Generator)
So, what is this product and why would anyone want or need it? There are plenty of solid reasons: People don't like freezing in the winter or wasting expensive diesel fuel letting a truck idle/warm up for 15-20 minutes. People don't like having gummed up turbos, paying to have a clogged DPF filters cleaned or replaced, running in limp mode, or prematurely wearing out their expensive diesel engines. What can the LHG do to prevent/solve those issues?
The LHG provides for extremely rapid engine and passenger compartment warming. This system will, quickly and efficiently, brings a diesel engine up to, monitor and maintain, proper operating temp, dramatically reducing idling warm-up and cold (dirty) run time. The result? Improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, lower maintenance costs and reduced engine wear.
How does it work? In the past, to help resolve these problems, people installed aftermarket diesel fueled flame heaters or systems that re-routed exhaust gasses to bring a cold engine up to proper temp. Somewhat effective, but like many older solutions, it was antiquated technology. The LHG uses the coolant that's already in your motor and is driven by the serpentine belt. Coolant is plumbed to the unit and via the properties of fluid dynamics (hydraulic friction), the unit rapidly generates heat. The unit's smart controller then monitors temps/load/conditions and ensures ideal operating temp is achieved as quickly as possible and then maintained throughout every drive cycle. The LHG works when it needs to and shuts off when it doesn't. The result? A dramatic reduction in the amount of time the engine is running at sub-optimal temps. Cleaner, more efficient combustion cycles dramatically reduce DPM contamination. i.e. so you'll see fewer regen cycles, extended DPF filter lifespan, and far less engine wear.
Any real test data? During testing in freezing conditions an LHG equipped 6.7L vehicle was blowing hot air into the cabin within a couple short minutes and achieved full operating temp in around 6 minutes. A stock rig? 22 minutes to reach proper operating temp; a dramatic difference. The average commute time runs around 27 minutes, so during a typical 27 minute commute in freezing temps, a stock truck is "running dirty" 81% of the time. For shorter drives, it's essentially running dirty all the time. With an LHG installed, a truck reaches optimal operating temperature much faster, and then that temp is maintained. In cold climates, even if a truck is already warmed up but allowed to sit and idle, it can drop well below proper operating temp. (more dirty run time) The LHG doesn't allow that to happen. Any time operating temps start to drop below optimal, the LHG activates and brings the truck right back up to it's ideal temperature. The smart controller even monitors vehicle usage. If your truck hasn't been ran/driven for an extended period of time the LHG will initiate a self-cleaning cycle. It helps takes care of your truck, and it takes care of itself.
LHG units outperform, have fewer maintenance needs, cost less and are far easier to install than older solutions. LHG installation can be completed in a couple hours with a set of basic tools.
