Arctic Kit

Electrical Preheating prior to Engine
Start

The hydraulic excavator can be preheated with an external electric power
supply (80 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz). The electric power supply must be connected
to the excavator through a connector situated on the cab elevation. The
following heating equipments are installed on the excavator and each heater
is designed to heat a part of the machine:
Electrically driven water
engine preheater units

________

2 preheaters from 4 kW
automatic preheating/warm keeping (own
thermostat) of coolant of diesel engine

Electrically driven warm
air blowers

________________________

6 blowers from 3 kW
automatic warm keeping (blowers with own
thermostat) of the ambient air temperature in
pumps compartment, main valves compart-
ment, cab elevation and engine compartment,
warm keeping of the hydraulic piloting units
and electric boxes

Electrical oil heater units

in the hydraulic tank

______

7 resistors from 2 kW
automatic preheating/warm keeping (own
thermostat) of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic tank

in the splitterbox

__________

2 resistors from 500 W
automatic preheating/warm keeping (own
thermostat) of splitterbox oil

in the engine oil pan

______

4 resistors from 500 W
automatic preheating/warm keeping (own
thermostat) of engine oil

in the suction pipes

______

2 resistors from 500 W

and operator’s seat

Two forced circulating
heating system

__________________

2 preheaters from 9 kW
automatic preheating/warm keeping of all
working pumps, slew pumps, fan pumps, slew
motors, drive motors and valves blocs

Fuel preheater

__________________

heat exchanger with warm engine coolant,
preheated fuel at the entry of the engine

Features of the Electrical Preheating
System

Electrical system is designed corresponding to europeen standards
400 V/230 V/50 Hz. Optionally the system can be delivered corre spond ing
to CSA standards.
– Different components with CSA approval
– Different tension and frequency 440 V/254 V/60 Hz
Safety IT-System

________________

isolated ground, monitoring of: short circuit,
overload, isolation; system reactions: warning
(acoustical/optical), shut down

Battery charge

__________________

continuously during standstill

24 V board network

____________

continuous power supply

Accessory parts

________________

additional alternator to ensure 100 % lighting
and heating, additional battery pack for
emergency lighting

Electrical Heating After Engine Start
(without Electrical Supply)

Continuous flushing of swing and travel motors with an additional gear
pump, in order to supply oil at operating temperature even if travel or swing
functions are not actuated.
Continuous preheating fuel with a warm engine coolant heat exchanger.

Stand-by Heating Operation

If the machine is turned off for more than one hour and the ambient air
temperature is below – 10 °C, connect the external generator set to start the
heaters (auto-regulated) in order to maintain the excavator in predefined
temperature and to be able to restart quickly.
Heated areas

____________________

operator’s cab, cab elevation, valve bank
compartment, engine compartment

Heated components
