So, what models can the TOPSFLO preheater water pump be matched with? And what are the advantages of using TOPSFLO pumps? This article will explain doubts in details.

Principle of car preheater water pump

The car preheater realizes that cars don’t need to heat the garage in winter, and eliminates the trouble of difficult starting after parking. Even in the freezing cold of minus 30 degrees, you can leave at will and travel at any time. At low temperatures, the car preheater heats the car's engine, while heating the car's interior and helping to defrost the windows. The heat source of the fuel vehicle engine preheater comes from the burning gasoline, which can be used after the engine is turned off, or can be used as auxiliary heating during driving.

So what role does the car preheater water pump play in it?
The water pump of the automobile engine preheater draws out the coolant in the engine body, heats it through the automobile engine preheater, and then circulates it into the engine body, thereby heating the engine and achieving the purpose of starting the engine in low temperature conditions.

What preheater heater model does TOPSFLO car water pump match with?

TA50 series can be matched with 5KW liquid heater
TA60 series can be matched with 10KW liquid heater

TOPSFLO Car Preheater Water Pump Installation Guide
We recommend that you install the pump between the outlet of the engine and the heat exchanger of the interior heater. The water flow direction is the water outlet of the engine -> the inlet of the preheater water pump (the direction of the central axis of the circulating water pump) -> the outlet of the preheater water pump (the tangential direction of the circulating water pump) -> the cooling water inlet of the preheater (marked with "IN") -> cooling water outlet of the preheater (marked with "OUT") -> interior heater heat exchanger.

The circulating water pump should be installed at a position lower than the preheater.

Fasten the water pipe joint with the pipe clamp in the accessory bag.

Do not extend the water pump wiring harness. The distance between the water pump and the main engine is exactly specified, and the installation of the extension of the water pump wiring harness will cause the preheater to malfunction.

Pay attention to the loss of antifreeze during installation. It should be supplemented with antifreeze of the same specification after installation, and filled to the specified capacity after the engine has been cycled for a certain period of time.

Special Note
Each time the product is started, if it’s necessary to exhaust the air inside the pump, it is recommended to install the product in the following figure, which is conducive to the exhaust of the product and reduces the noise during startup; if the product does not need to be exhausted during startup, the product can be installed in any way.

Advantages of TOPSFLO car preheater water pump
1.Without starting the engine, the engine and the interior of the car can be preheated at the same time, allowing the car owner to open the door in the cold winter to enjoy the warmth like home, and solve the difficulties of defrosting the windows, shaving snow, and wiping fog.
2.The preheating is convenient and equipped with intelligent control, which can realize the advanced remote control and timing system to easily heat the car at any time, which is equivalent to having a car warmer.
3.The water cycle realizes environmental protection, efficient and quick start, and avoids the wear and tear of the engine caused by low temperature cold start. Research shows that the engine wear caused by a cold start is equivalent to the normal driving of the vehicle for 200 kilometers, and 60% of the engine wear is caused by the cold start. Installing a car engine preheater can fully protect the engine and prolong the service life of the engine by 30%.
4.The cumulative service life of TOPSFLO brushless dc centrifugal water pump is 5-10 times stronger than that of traditional brushed pumps. Once invested, you will benefit for a lifetime.
5.The structure is compact, easy to install and maintenance-free.
