Avenger V6-2.7L (2008)
Engine Block Heater: Description and Operation
OPERATION
2.0L/2.4L ENGINE - The block heater element is submerged in the cooling system's coolant. When electrical power (110 volt A.C.) is applied to the
element, it creates heat. This heat is transferred to the engine coolant. This provides easier engine starting and faster warm-up when vehicle is operated in
areas having extremely low temperatures.
2.7L/3.5L ENGINE - When power is applied (110 volt A.C.) to the block heater, the heating element transfers heat through the aluminum engine block
and into the coolant without directly penetrating the cooling system.
