Thermostatic Air Cleaner: Description

A thermostatically-controlled air cleaner is used to preheat the incoming air. This system allows closer control of incoming air temperature which, in turn, allows closer calibrating of the combustion system for better performance and emission control. System consists of an air intake pipe for outside air, a shroud and pipe for manifold-heated air, a control box for allowing heated or cooled (or both) air in, and a thermostat which reacts to incoming air temperature to set the air door.
