Heated Wash On-Demand
The Heated Wash M-38OD operates in “On-Demand” mode.
The unit starts to operate when the ignition is on (engine running) and
battery voltage level is higher than 13.0 volts. Once the unit is activated, the
washer fluid inside its heating chamber will be heated and kept within pre-
determined temperature limits (125 – 135°F), so there is always hot fluid
inside the unit’s heating chamber which can be used by a driver for cleaning
the windshield.
Each time the driver activates the factory installed washer system, heated
washer fluid is applied to the windshield for approximately the first 3
seconds of spray. Three seconds of the spray delivers approx. 50-60 cc of
fluid that is considered sufficient amount of fluid for one spray. The next
portion of heated washer fluid is available in 10-20 seconds (depending on
ambient conditions).
The HeatedWash unit uses full power of 50 Amps for 30 seconds to heat
the washer fluid up to pre-determined temperature limits (125 – 135°F), and
minimal power to keep it within these limits. The unit’s power consumption
is less than 2 Amps per hour.
Once the unit starts to operate (engine is running), it will heat the washer
fluid in approximately 30 seconds; driver operates the washer system
manually to spray the heated washer fluid onto the windshield.
Recommended duration of spray is 3 seconds. Driver can spray as many
times as he wants. Best results are achieved when time intervals between
sprays are approx. 20 seconds.
