Universal coolant preheaters compatible with all water-cooled engine types, across a wide range of engine-driven applications. Available in power ratings from 1 to 26 kW and multiple voltage configurations to meet diverse installation and operational requirements.
Zerostart, FlowStart and TopStart are Phillips & Temro brands we supply and support. Above 10 kW the range is our own: POWERHEAT 12 – 26 kW, built in France for gensets, ships and rail projects.

Easy integration
Fits the system you already have
Simple bypass installation
No modifications to the internal engine cooling system
Compact designs for tight installation envelopes
Suitable for both new build and retrofit installations
Every engine is different. Send us the engine make, model and coolant volume and our engineers confirm the right unit.
Fitted into the coolant circuit, not into the engine
Every heater is delivered with a connection and fixation kit.
Bypass across the engine cooling circuit
01
Tap into the coolant circuit
The heater is installed as a bypass across the engine block. The internal cooling system stays untouched, so warranty and engine approvals are unaffected.
02
Mount and connect
Fixation bracket and hose adapters are supplied. Thermosiphon models rely on natural circulation; forced-flow models carry an integrated pump.
03
Set the temperature and leave it
Fixed thermostats switch between roughly 27 and 50 °C; TopStart is adjustable from 0 to 80 °C and POWERHEAT from 20 to 90 °C, each with a safety thermostat (110 °C and 120 °C STD).
POWERHEAT is built in France, TopStart in Belgium. Every unit is CE marked and supplied from the Netherlands.
