Autoterm Air 4D Heater
Description:
The Autoterm Air 4D diesel forced-air heater, also called “Planar 4D”, is designed to provide optimal thermal comfort in medium to large vehicles (trucks, minibuses, Motorhomes, boats up to 15 m). Its modulating power range (1 to 4 kW) allows adaptation to temperature variations and user requirements. Thanks to an oxygen sensor, it maintains performance at altitudes up to 4200 m.
At the heart of the Autoterm Air 4D Heater is a brushless motor ensuring the rotation of the fan and air intake into the combustion chamber.
- Improved efficiency: this type of engine limits friction and energy losses.
- Extended lifespan: no brushes = reduced mechanical wear, enhanced reliability.
- Combustion chamber: made of high-strength metal, it is designed to optimize diesel combustion, even in difficult conditions (extreme cold, low pressure at altitude…).

Mounting
- Possible position in a technical compartment, under a seat, or a dedicated compartment.
- Respect the orientation and required space (see Autoterm manual) for optimal ventilation.
Power supply
- Available in 12 V or 24 V depending on your vehicle.
- Provide a suitable fuse or circuit breaker (see max consumption of 57 W / 56 W depending on voltage).
Duct adaptation
- Air outlet: diameter ⌀96 mm. To connect a Ø90 mm duct, use the ATR2-A9690-BK adapter.
- Air intake: diameter ⌀80 mm. To switch to Ø90 mm, use the ATR2-A8090-BK adapter.
Control panel
- Mandatory choice among several models (Comfort Control, Simple Control, etc.) to control the air heater.
Advantages of the Diesel Air 4D Heater:
- Modular performance: range from 1 to 4 kW to cover large volumes and adjust heating according to ambient temperature.
- Oxygen sensor: stable operation up to 4200 m altitude, ideal for mountain activities.
- Low consumption: between 0.12 and 0.51 L/h of diesel, combining economy and autonomy.
- Versatile installation: buses, trucks, minibuses, Motorhomes, boats (up to 15 m), special vehicles.
- Quiet: discreet fuel pump, reducing nighttime noise.
High altitude usage tips:
Thanks to an internal oxygen sensor, the Autoterm Air 4D Heater adjusts its fuel injection to the thinning air at high altitude (up to 4200 m). For more efficiency:
- Avoid ducts that are too long or too curved (air inlet/outlet).
- Maintain good ventilation (compliant intake and exhaust diameters).
- Use official Autoterm accessories for better performance
