Besides preventing the build-up of nasty engine sludge and premature wear, protection against cold starts is one of the main reasons why you should never skip an oil change in your gasoline or diesel ...

Turbocharged engines are far more sensitive to cold-start behavior than older naturally aspirated designs, and mechanics are increasingly seeing premature wear linked to drivers immediately driving ...

Cold start combustion in diesel engines is characterised by low ambient temperatures that impair fuel atomisation, prolong ignition delay and increase unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and ...

Aircraft engines require preheating in cold weather primarily because differential thermal contraction between aluminum and steel components significantly reduces critical internal clearances, leading ...

The Rapid Catalyst Heating system quickly elevates catalyst temperatures, reducing harmful emissions during the critical cold start phase. The system is designed for easy integration into light- and ...

Cold weather adversely affects diesel engines more than gas engines, but that’s only partly due to the engine itself. Diesel engines are inherently harder to crank over to start than gas engines, and ...

Mornings aren’t always kind, especially when they involve crawling out of bed and sliding behind the wheel for yet another soul-draining work commute. But for those of you who haven’t switched sides ...
