FAQs
European Type Approval
A key distinction lies in the heater unit itself. Nordkapp® Air Heaters are designed to meet the rigorous tests required by the ECE R122 type approval for safety. They have been laboratory tested and received ECE R122 Type Approval (E24) in the European Union.
In contrast, the widely sold Chinese diesel heaters do not meet these standards, and therefore, do not have similar approval.
ECE R122 Type Approval is mandatory for parking heaters; without this certification, the heater is illegal.
Control via GSM 4G/5G
Nordkapp diesel heaters offer an optional GSM 4G/5G mobile control, allowing you to operate the heater from anywhere with Nordkapp®’s own mobile app.
2-Year Warranty and Support
Nordkapp® offers a two-year warranty for its heaters, along with service and parts readily available in Europe. This ensures quick and effortless assistance when needed.
Fuel Hoses
Nordkapp® uses the highest quality fuel hoses, specifically designed for the requirements of each device. In contrast, Chinese heaters often use green fuel hoses that are too loose and causes problems.
High-Quality Materials and Components
Nordkapp® heaters predominantly use higher-quality components, making them more durable and quieter. For instance, the “Nordkapp® Super Silent” fuel pump is designed to operate more silently.
E24 ECE R122 type approval certificate for diesel heaters means that a diesel heater has been certified as meeting the safety, emissions, and performance standards set out in Regulation 122 of the UNECE.
