AUTOTERM Flow 5D 12V Liquid Heater + Comfort Control | Aloe Gear

Protect your engine and ensure a warm cabin before you even step outside, no matter how remote your campsite. This 5kW liquid heater provides the ultimate peace of mind for off-grid explorers, ensuring reliable starts and interior warmth in the most unforgiving South African winters.

Why the Flow 5D is Essential Gear?

• Engine Longevity: Pre-heats engine coolant to eliminate cold-start wear and tear, extending the life of your vehicle’s most expensive component.
  
• Instant Interior Warmth: Rapidly transfers heat to your vehicle's existing vents, turning a freezing cabin into a comfortable living space in minutes.
  
• Sub-Zero Reliability: Engineered to function in temperatures as low as -45°C, ensuring your systems remain operational even in the highest mountain passes.
  
• Fuel-Sipping Performance: Optimised combustion draws minimal diesel, allowing you to maintain a warm engine without compromising your fuel range for the trek back.

This comprehensive kit contains everything required for a standard installation into your vehicle's coolant circuit, managed by the intelligent Comfort Control interface.
