The unrivalled quality of air and liquid heaters from the German manufacturer Eberspächer, combined with the wide range of autonomous heaters (heating units) available from UKRAVTOTERM – the official Eberspächer dealer in Ukraine – allows you to find the perfect heating solution for any commercial vehicle.

Eberspächer is a renowned manufacturer of autonomous heaters used to heat the air in car interiors, lorry cabs, buses, campervans, vans, as well as on yachts and specialised vehicles. Their main advantage is that they operate independently of the engine, allowing a comfortable temperature to be maintained without straining the engine and whilst significantly saving fuel.

Our extensive experience in the sale and installation of heaters from various manufacturers enables us to highlight the key advantages of Eberspächer heaters fitted in cabs, passenger compartments and working compartments of lorries, buses, minivans, specialised and construction machinery:

• High efficiency: Rapid heating of the passenger compartment, allowing a comfortable temperature to be maintained even in extremely cold conditions.

• Low fuel consumption: The heaters consume very little fuel, drawing it directly from the vehicle’s fuel tank.

• Quiet operation: Thanks to the use of brushless motors and an optimised design, the heaters operate very quietly.

• Automatic regulation: Modern models feature built-in temperature and altitude sensors, which allow the power output to be automatically adjusted for optimum performance.

• Durability: Long service life (up to 5,000 hours) thanks to high-quality components.

• Safety: They prevent cold starts, thereby reducing engine wear. They also ensure driver safety by defrosting windows and preventing them from misting up.

UKRAVTOTERM offers Eberspacher Airtronic air heaters, which are designed to provide heating whilst the engine is switched off, ensure rapid heating of the driver’s cab or passenger compartment, and are characterised by low noise levels, efficiency and economy. The Airtronic series comprises various models that differ in power, fuel consumption and other specifications; the designations S, M, L denote the size and power of the heater (S – Small, M – Medium, L – Large), D denotes the fuel type (D – Diesel), and 2, 4, 6 denote the rated heat output in kW.

Also available is the most powerful air heater model in the Airtronic range - AIRTRONIC L3 D6L (ОЕМ 25.2959.05.0000, 25.2960.05.0000), designed to heat very large spaces. It is capable of maintaining a set temperature by automatically reducing the power output to 1.5 kW once the set value is reached. Applications: buses, large lorries, specialist vehicles, and large motor and sailing yachts.

Eberspächer has partnerships with many of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers. The heaters are integrated into the vehicle’s systems during the production stage. Below is a list of vehicles in which Eberspächer heaters can be factory-installed or are frequently available as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) option:

AIRTRONIC S2 D2L and AIRTRONIC M2 D4L / AIRTRONIC S3 D2L and AIRTRONIC M3 D4L

• Lorries: Often installed as standard or as an option on lorries from leading European manufacturers such as DAF, MAN, Volvo Trucks, Scania, Renault Trucks and IVECO. They are installed to heat the driver’s cab, particularly in models with a sleeper berth.

• Minibuses and vans: Some commercial vans, such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter and Ford Transit, may have them as an option, particularly if they are designed to carry cold-sensitive goods. They are also frequently installed to ambulances and specialist vehicles.

• Specialised machinery: Often used in the cabs of construction and agricultural machinery, such as excavators, bulldozers and tractors from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Liebherr and John Deere.

• Motorhomes: These are either standard or a very popular option for heating the living area in motorhomes from manufacturers such as Hymer, Dethleffs and Knaus.

AIRTRONIC L3 D6L

• Lorries: More powerful versions are generally designed for heavy-duty lorries and large cabs, where the D2L or D4L may not be sufficient.

• Buses: Often used to heat the passenger compartment in small and medium-sized coaches, particularly on local routes.

UKRAVTOTERM also offers the Eberspächer Hydronic series of heaters – liquid-based heaters that operate by heating the engine coolant. Unlike Airtronic air heaters, which heat the air in the passenger compartment, Hydronic heaters are connected to the vehicle’s cooling system. This technology not only heats the passenger compartment but also pre-heats the engine, which significantly extends its service life and makes cold starts easier.

General advantages of Hydronic liquid heaters

• Dual-action: simultaneously heat the passenger compartment and the engine.

• Reduced engine wear: eliminate the ‘cold start’ effect, which is the main cause of wear.

• Efficiency: rapid heating of large volumes, defrosting of windows.

• Versatility: they can be used not only to heat the interior, but also to provide hot water in motorhomes, campervans and on boats.

• Fuel economy: starting an engine that is already warm requires less fuel.

Also available is the Eberspächer HYDRONIC L II HL2-35 kW (ОЕМ 25 2600 05 00 00) – a powerful liquid-filled heater from the Hydronic L II series. Models in this range are designed for industrial, large-scale and specialised vehicles. Applications: City buses, large construction machinery (e.g. excavators), railway rolling stock, fire engines, as well as industrial and commercial vessels. This model is also used for heating cargo holds and fuel systems.

Eberspächer Hydronic liquid heaters can also be factory-installed or are frequently available as an OEM option

HYDRONIC M II 10 and HYDRONIC M II 12

• Lorries and buses: These powerful heaters are very common as standard equipment or as an option in lorries with large-capacity engines from Scania, Volvo, MAN and Mercedes-Benz Trucks. They not only heat the passenger compartment but also pre-heat the engine, which is critical for diesel engines during the colder months.

• Construction and agricultural machinery: Installed to large machines where reliable engine starting at low temperatures and a comfortable cabin temperature are required.

• Passenger cars: Some premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, offer Hydronic liquid heaters as an option for defrosting windows and warming up the engine before a journey.

HYDRONIC L II HL2-35 kW

• Large buses: These are industrial-grade heaters installed to large city and intercity buses to heat the entire passenger compartment. Manufacturers such as MAN, Mercedes-Benz (Evobus) and Neoplan frequently use these heaters.

• Specialised machinery: These are installed to large-scale vehicles, such as fire engines, road maintenance vehicles and railway rolling stock, where exceptional heating capacity is required.

Thus, although the exact list of ‘standard equipment’ may not be available to the general public, it is fair to say that Eberspächer heaters are an integral part of the factory fit-out of many lorries, buses and specialised vehicles, particularly those operated in cold climates.
