Pre-heater "Binar 5D Compact": reviews

Climatic conditions, typical for the Russian latitudes, force some car owners to spend money for the pre-engine heater. Such equipment is really necessary for the normal start of the engine in the cold season.

The domestic market offers various brands and models of devices, but the most effective is the engine heater "Binar 5D Compact", produced by LLC "Adverse". Petrol models of heaters are marked with the letter B. For the engine using diesel as a fuel, "Binar 5D Compact" is suitable.

The company "Adverse" is almost unknown in a wide range of motorists. The company's production is located in the territory of Samara. Despite the fact that the company is not popular and well-known, it provides full technical support to consumers, so car owners who are interested can easily find reviews about "Binary 5D Compact" and other models of heaters.

Cost of equipment

Domestic autonomous pre-start heaters "Binar" - one of the most affordable in the market for automotive equipment. The average price for "Binar 5D Compact" with the installation is 27-30 thousand rubles. The amount is rather large, but fully pays for itself in a short period of operation. Fans of imported preheater models are very skeptical of their domestic counterparts, but the feedback on Binara 5D Compact confirms the opposite: Russian equipment is not only more efficient, unlike Eberspacher and Webasto, but it costs much less.

Device design

The heater device "Binar" is similar to other models of equipment and does not include any features. How is the Binar 5D Compact device installed? Installation is carried out in the engine compartment with connection to the car cooling system. The message of the heater with the cooling system is necessary for the reason that its pump accelerates the flow of the antifreeze not only in the device itself, but also in the cooling system before starting the vehicle engine.

The main task of "Binara 5D Compact" - heating up to a certain temperature of the cooling liquid. On the air pump and the fuel pump after the power is connected, a current is applied which ignites the glow plug and then flows to the winding of the circulation pump. The combustion chamber of the fuel is supplied with air from the atmosphere, mixing with the fuel injected through the nozzles, and forms a fuel mixture, which is ignited by the supplied spark and generates heat. The energy released as a result heats the walls of the heat exchanger, which leads to an increase in the temperature of the antifreeze, which moves through the Binar 5D Compact heater in a closed cycle and enters the motor vehicle's main line.

The temperature of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of the nozzles is determined by two sensors. The control unit receives data from them and selects a certain operating mode. The fan of the heater is switched on by an automatic relay when the antifreeze temperature rises to 40 ^о С, and the warm air formed is injected into the interior of the car. The fan blades stop after lowering the temperature by 10 ° C. For the impeller speed regulator the minimum mode is set, which avoids overheating of the car interior.

Heater "Binar 5D Compact" works in two modes - manual and automatic. The operating time of the device varies from 20 to 120 minutes, but you can turn it off at any time.

Equipment

"Binar 5D Compact" is implemented in the following configuration:

• Remote control panel;
• Heater;
• Assembly kit, including connectors, fasteners, wires, sleeves, fuel intake, fuel line, exhaust gas exhaust kit.

In the complete set with the device "Binar 5D Compact", as in the case with imported analogs, a remote control with a timer and an electronic control unit are supplied. Thanks to such details, the device can be monitored at a distance or in automatic mode after the timer has tripped. The heater control function via SMS or GSM communication is also available.

Main functions

Company "Adverse" developed "Binar 5D Compact" for installation on cars. Main functions of the device:

• Ensuring safe starting of the engine at low ambient temperatures;
• Heating of the windshield and the car interior with the engine stopped;
• Additional heating of the passenger compartment and engine in extremely cold temperatures.

Principle of the heater operation

Preheater is completely autonomous and does not depend on the engine of the car. According to the instructions, the installation of "Binara 5D Compact" is to connect to the fuel system and battery. The principle of operation of the device is based on the forced pumping of the cooling liquid through the heat exchange system and its heating.

The complete cycle of the heater lasts 45 minutes. You can disconnect the device at any time during the work cycle. The fuel supply to the heater stops after 45 minutes after receiving the appropriate command, then the combustion chamber is blown by air. The heater control unit switches on the passenger compartment fan when the coolant temperature rises to 50 ° C. The fan switches off when the temperature drops to 45 ° C. This mode of operation allows the car interior to be heated to a comfortable temperature.

Starting the heater

The boiler of the heater starts in one of three ways: manually, automatically by timer or by using the car alarm system. The simplest is the manual version: just press the appropriate key on the remote control. The heater will turn off after 20 minutes. More difficult things are with the start of the timer: programming days of the week and the duration of the working cycle are required. Varying the warm-up time can be from 20 to 50 minutes.

The most interesting way is with the help of the alarm system. The boiler is equipped with a special wire that is connected to the trunk lugs of the security complex. Pressing the remote control for the car key trigger opens the heater. The device is switched off automatically after the time set by the heater control panel has expired.

Additional device functions

Thanks to the modular design, third-party devices can be connected to the heater, giving it additional functions. The possibility is preserved even after the acquisition and installation of Binar 5D Compact. The price for such devices is much lower than for the heater itself, but at the same time their connection expands the functionality of the equipment. For example, setting a mini-timer allows you to start the heater by means of an SMS message, a call from a cellular phone or programming the on-time.

"Binar 5" and "Binar 5D Compact"

The manufacturer produces two modifications of the heater "Binar" - 5 and 5D "Compact". The design of the first model is separate and consists of two units: an air blower and a main unit. And the second model has a supercharger combined with the unit.

Advantages, disadvantages and feedback about "Binary 5D Compact"

Most car owners, as the main disadvantage of the heater, note its unattractive appearance. However, this opinion is somewhat biased, because foreign analogues also do not differ in original and aesthetic design, which, moreover, does not play a special role for such equipment. No reports of serious malfunctions and breakdowns were left by car owners. The second negative - a high level of noise from running pumps. Again, this drawback is drawn by the ears: the heater is functioning while the driver is not in the car's interior, accordingly, it can not interfere with third-party sounds.

Reviews of the "Binar 5D Compact" confirm its effectiveness: the cabin quickly warms up to a comfortable temperature, the engine starts in just a few moments. Separately it is worth noting the fact that the heater is perfectly synchronized not only with domestic, but also with imported cars. The installation of a foreign car "Binara 5D Compact" in Moscow engaged in many car service stations, noted the excellent uninterrupted operation of the device on such machines as Ford, Skoda, Volkswagen and many others. Together with the affordable price and cheap components, the domestic heater significantly bypasses its imported counterparts.

The last argument in favor of the domestic heater is the simplicity and ease of its operation and reset settings. In comparison with the same foreign analogues, which in the case of incorrect engine starts are blocked without the possibility of recovery, "Binar" returns to operational state with the banal de-energization of the system. Foreign models will have to be returned to the service center to restore normal operation.

Advantages in comparison with competitors

• The cost of "Binara 5D Compact" is one and a half times lower in comparison with imported analogues, besides the manufacturer allows independent installation of the heater.
• The power of "Binara" is 5 kilowatts, while for cheaper models it is only 4 kW.
• More functional. In the comments about "Binary 5D Compact" it is noted that the temperature of the antifreeze and the voltage of the vehicle's on-board network are output to the control panel of the heater. Unlike "Binara", the same "Webasto" does not have such a function, but it has a liquid crystal display that does not work at low temperatures.
• The average cost of GSM-modem for the heater is 5 thousand rubles. For "Webasto" such a device will cost several times more expensive.
• The possibility of separate activation of the boiler and water pump. The volume of the antifreeze that passes through the radiator of the stove at idle turns decreases, which leads to a decrease in the temperature in the car's interior. Turning on the water pump can increase the amount of antifreeze that passes through the radiator, simultaneously increasing its temperature and, accordingly, the cabin temperature by 8 degrees.

Disadvantages of the Binar heater

• Separate arrangement of the boiler and air pump, which entails the need for a larger under-hood space and the use of more hoses and wires. Foreign analogues bypass the domestic heater for this item.
• The probability of problems with the extraction of necessary spare parts, which, however, is solved by compatibility with other models.

The Binar lineup

The first model of the preheater, produced by the company "Advers", was a heater "Binar 5B". He was distinguished by a separate air pump and boiler. Was long withdrawn from sale, the average cost at the time of sale was 17 thousand rubles.

The next model was the Binar 5D Compact heater on diesel. Reviews about him were mostly positive. The car owners noted the combination of an air pump and a boiler in a single hull. This innovation required an increase in overall dimensions and greatly simplified the installation process, reducing the number of hoses and wires. The model is still available, the average cost is 25 thousand rubles. Produced in two versions - 12 and 24 V. GSM-modem will cost the car owner an additional 7700 rubles.

The line of preheaters continued with the release of the Binar Compact GR model. The manufacturer changed the geometry of the heater by adding a GSM module to the kit. The total cost of the device was 28 thousand rubles.

The last released model of the heater was "Binar 5S". The appearance of the device has undergone significant changes, becoming more attractive. The power consumption has decreased, the heater has become more compact. The manufacturer has almost completely rewritten the software, including an additional mode of operation and settings, which are controlled from an updated remote control.

The design of the "Binara" of the latest model in many ways resembles its competitor - "Webasto", while the 5S is more reliable and efficient. The cost of the pre-heater is 27 thousand rubles. GSM-modem is not included in the kit, in connection with which it will have to be purchased separately. The price of the module is only 3500 rubles, which can be called an additional plus.

The manufacturer produces heaters not only for cars, but also for trucks. The power of such heaters varies from 12 to 30 kilowatts, depending on the model. The smallest option - for 12 kW - can be purchased for 25 thousand rubles, while the model with a capacity of 30 kilowatts will cost 50 thousand rubles. At the same time, a 30 kilowatt heater only works with an on-board network rated at 24 V, while 12-kilowatt models can be connected to networks with a voltage of 12 and 24 V.
