EA-HEATER Diesel Aircraft Heater
Mobile diesel aircraft heater delivering up to 130°C hot air at 1,725 CFM for pre-flight cabin warming and cold-soak protection in ground operations.
The EA-HEATER is a self-contained, trailer-mounted diesel heating unit designed to supply a controlled flow of hot ventilated air to aircraft cabins, cargo holds, and systems during ground servicing in cold-weather environments. It is powered by a Kubota 4E60-OC diesel engine producing 4.5 kW, with a maximum air output temperature of up to 130°C and an airflow rate of 1,725 CFM. At those parameters it can warm a cold-soaked narrow-body cabin to boarding temperature, or maintain equipment temperatures above condensation and icing thresholds during overnight ground holds in northern climates. The corrosion-resistant casing incorporates sound insulation, reducing noise impact on adjacent apron operations. Controls include a thermostat, an hour meter for scheduled maintenance tracking, an emergency stop, and a straightforward operator panel — designed for reliable use by ground handling personnel in cold, high-stress ramp environments where complex interfaces slow turnarounds. ElectroAir provides a 24-month warranty with structured maintenance intervals covering filter replacement and oil checks. The EA-HEATER occupies the cold-weather counterpart role to the EA-PCA series: where PCA manages cooling in hot ambient conditions, the HEATER manages warming in cold ambient conditions. For airport operators in northern climates, the Middle East's winter months, or high-altitude airfields with significant diurnal temperature variation, a diesel heater is a standard ramp readiness asset during the cold season.
