PEREGRINE fuel-line heaters have been designed to keep the fuel temperature at approximately 7°C while it flows along the fuel line. We recognize the need to maintain fuel flow on both static and mobile applications, which is why we have developed this innovative heater in an AC and DC format. PEREGRINE fuel-line heaters are fitted directly into the fuel-line, and may be supplied with connections to suit the pipe diameter. Where required, they can be used in conjunction with diesel fuel tank heaters and/or trace-heating tapes. If you think this might be case with the application you have in mind, please contact us.

Preheat Engineering Ltd manufactures a wide range of tank heaters to suit virtually every tank application. Most of these are thermostatically controlled by an integral device or a separate control thermostat, depending on the application. Tank heaters are typically used for preventing the waxing of fuel, for reducing liquid viscosity, and for frost protection, but there are many other industrial applications. PEREGRINE tank heaters are available in standard and weatherproof versions, for side or top tank entry. Side tank entry heaters are available with removable elements so that they can be easily replaced.

Oil tends to have a high viscosity at low ambient temperatures, which can cause drag problems with engine starting and may also cause wear on cold start-up because of poor oil circulation. The prevent these problems, an oil heater can be used to warm the lubricant for reduced viscosity. These are often fitted as a supplement to coolant pre-heaters in extremely low ambient temperatures. In the PEREGRINE range we have two oil heaters - internal and external - which can be used with gearboxes, geared pumps, pipelines, and reservoirs where oil drag needs to be kept at a minimum.

Cold temperatures can have serious effects on battery efficiency and battery output. In order to work to their full potential, most batteries need to remain at a temperature of around 15°C to 20°C. Preheat Engineering has developed a series of battery pan heaters which are fitted in or under the battery tray to warm your batteries to the ideal working temperature. There are three standard sizes to choose from, in AC or DC format, though we can manufacture custom models if specially requested.

Trace-heating tape is a suitable solution for circumstances where space does not permit the use of a heating element. We stock a wide range of self-regulating tapes which are temperature sensitive, as well as a variety of unregulated tapes that are typically used in applications where a higher temperature has to be maintained, for example, in chemical processing, where a bi-fuel tank requires a consistent amount of heat over a relatively short period to deice a frozen valve. Trace-heating tapes may be supplied in any required length, and are terminated and ready for use.

In colder ambient temperatures, diesel fuel needs to be kept at a temperature where it can flow freely. Our Peregrine diesel fuel tank heaters - suitable for all sizes of tank - can help achieve this. There are several types of Peregrine fuel tank heater, including a threaded version for insertion into the tank bosses, and a flanged version for insertion into the tank flanges. Both types are available as standard and weatherproof models, with fixed and removable elements. We have various length, wattage and voltage options for you to choose from.

Peregrine engine coolant heaters come supplied in a kit that comprises of a thermostatically controlled heater, heater mountings, hose clips, high temperature rubber or silicone hose, installation fittings appropriate to the particular engine, and installation notes and drawings. Coolant heaters are available in vertical or horizontal format.
Replacement elements and parts are all available separately if required.
