| FBH - when does it kick in ? |
|
I know this is done to death. Searching brings up zillions of returns.
I think the FBH kicks in at below 6 degrees outside temp, and below 75 degrees water temp. Am and correct ?

Ta,
Thats not good news then.
Noticed my FBH was winding down after I switched off this afternoon. Outside temp 8 degrees and the engine was well warm after a 30 min run.. If your not part of the Solution, Your part of the Problem !

you sure it was the FBH - the FBH makes a decreasing gurgling noise, not a whiny wind down noise, after you switch off - might have been the compressor Steve N | 2006 TDV6 S Auto in Buckingham Blue | Member of the top ten club | Am I online?

yep, for sure it was the FBH. Hot gas coming out of the pipe as it was closing down. ( and yes, it was the usual gurgling noise ) If your not part of the Solution, Your part of the Problem !

Could still have been going if the engine temp was not high enough. It will startup at 5 degrees from cold to assist the engine warm up, but if you have not have enough of a run to warm up the engine, it will still be running or start up during the journey.

Fuel consumption is quoted as:-
full load (5.2kW) 0.61 litres / hour
part load (2.5kW) 0.30 litres / hour
also bear in mind that the FFBH will run if the coolant temperature drops below 70 degrees C whilst the vehicle is in use...
Full load to part load 72 degrees C
Part load to control idle 78 degrees C
Control idle to part load 70 degrees C
Part load to full load 65 degrees C
