What is a block heater?

ATV block heater Titan-P1 installation diagram

A block heater is a type of heating equipment. It can also be called an engine heater, and it heats the engine block or antifreeze inside by means electric element so that temperature rises to melt lubricant (synthetic oil)due to its warmth - which makes starting easier for you!

What types of block heaters are available?

There are three main types of block heaters used on ATVs:

• engine block heater with built-in circulation pump
• Oil pan heater
• Magnetic engine heater

Each one has its own pros and cons that you’ll want to consider before making a purchase decision. In this article, we cover each type in detail so you can decide which is best for your needs.

Engine block heater with built-in circulation pump.

Engine block heater with built-in circulation pump

This engine block heater is the perfect solution for all ATVs and UTV out there! It is ideal for ATVs and UTVs that use antifreeze as their cooling medium.

This type of block heater is mounted on the engine’s water jackets. It circulates heated coolant throughout the entire engine, not just through one part or area. This increases heat everywhere in your engine creating a more even heating effect that allows for faster starts and overall better performance.

It is easy to install

 Installing an ATV or UTV block heater is not as difficult as you think it is, you just need to follow the guidelines. What you need to do is to disconnect the radiator hose, connect the outlet and inlet of the heater to the radiator hose, then bolt it in its place. This is all that must be done for installation in most cases. Make sure to remove any air bubbles you find before connecting.

Safety is our priority. The heater has a temp controller inside, which stops automatically at 65 degrees Celsius (149 F)! The heater inlet and outlet are 5/8 (0.63) inches, so you will need the right coolant hose for this to work.

Don’t worry about the heater not working as sub-zero temps are included that would help the coolant not to freeze.

 You can easily find them.

 You can find quality block heaters like the one described above on Amazon or RVheater.com and princess auto, for example, the Vvkb engine block heater.

 Oil pan heater

An oil pan heater is a great option for those who don’t want to install an engine block heater or if their ATV doesn’t have antifreeze as its cooling medium. This type of heater attaches to the bottom of your ATV’s oil pan and heats the oil.

Vvkb Oil Pan Heater

This is a silicone heating pad that's installed in the engine oil pan. When you plug it in, your oil pan heaters will start to heat up and its temperature transferred from here all over! However, these things have lower power than engine block heaters and magnetic heater ones so they'll take longer too - but are perfect for air-cooled engines.

This is typically used on all-terrain vehicles or ATVs. Generally speaking, they are most useful in colder climates and during winter months when the temperature is at its lowest. Block heaters work by using a standard 120-volt electrical outlet to power up the oil pan heater which then heats the oils inside of the engine directly. This allows for easier starts and better performance all around.

Air-cooled engine ATVs

One of the best things about oil pan heaters is that they are typically very affordable, easy to install and work with most ATVs. You can find a quality oil pan heater on Amazon or at your local hardware store, like this one from Mr Heater .

The only downside to using an oil pan heater is that the drain hole of your oil pan must be open to allow for proper drainage. If you have a lower-end ATV, then there’s also a chance that this heater may not work properly due to engine design or if it was cheaply made.

Magnetic engine heater

 
The second great and best choice for those who want to keep their ATV running in the freezing weather is a magnetic engine heater. This type of heater attaches directly to the outside of your engine and uses magnets to heat the metal surfaces.

This method is said to be more effective than other types of heaters because it can directly heat the engine instead of warming the oil or coolant. Magnetic heaters are also relatively easy to install, typically using magnets that stick right to the outside of your engine.

Magnetic heater works on the principle that alternating current is passed through a coil to create eddy currents. The hot iron material close to this heater becomes superheated and spreads throughout your car's engine to boot up faster at times!

This electromagnetic engine heater is perfect for those with specific heating specifications. It can be used only in one scenario, but that doesn't stop it from being an excellent choice if you can find a place to put it!

What is the benefit of using an ATV block heater - does your area fall below freezing?

It is important to know that a block heater should only be used in areas where the temperatures regularly fall below freezing. If you live in an area where the temps never dips below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, then there is no need for a block heater and it will only be a waste of electricity.

ATV Engine Block Heater Titan-B1

In cold weather, the engine oil of an ATV can solidify. It becomes very difficult to start the ATV and if it is not warmed quickly enough there will be more wear on your precious machine! Using a Block Heater with this problem in mind can give you back many hours out of every day because they make sure that everything starts smoothly no matter how low temperatures get.

The low temperature will increase wear even further as metal corrodes faster at subzero temperatures than it does warm ones; not only do you risk damaging crucial components but also polluting both yourself through exhaust fumes/particulates produced while running vehicles equipped with modern smog control technologies such as electronic air filters.

That is why it’s always a good idea to have a menu block heater on your ATV, even if you don’t live in an area that experiences below-freezing temperatures. The peace of mind and added safety are well worth the purchase price!
