The invention relates to an evaporator burner (1; 101) for a mobile heating device, comprising: a combustion chamber (3), a fuel feed line (4) for feeding liquid fuel, and an evaporator for evaporating fed fuel. The evaporator has a support body (6; 106) made of a nonporous material, comprising a fuel preparation surface (6a; 106a) which faces the combustion chamber (3) and which comes into contact with the liquid fuel. A surface structuring (11) with a plurality of depressions (11a) and elevations (11b) is introduced into the fuel preparation surface (6a; 106a) and/or into a support body (6; 106) rear face (6b; 106b) facing away from the fuel preparation surface.

A porous fuel treatment element (5) for an evaporation burner is provided, said porous fuel treatment element (5) having at least one first tier (8) of a textile planar structure which is formed from a plurality of fibers. The fibers in the first tier (8) comprise at least two different fiber types (10, 11) which differ in terms of the material, of the cross-sectional profile, of the surface structure, and/or of the thickness.

A vehicle includes a drive motor arranged in an engine compartment, a fuel-operated vehicle heater arranged in the engine compartment, a fuel tank, a fuel line (22) leading from the fuel tank to the vehicle heater, as well as a cooling air line arrangement (46). The cooling air line arrangement (46) envelops the fuel line (22) in at least some areas for providing a cooling air flow duct (50) for cooling air flowing around the fuel line (22).

The present disclosure provides cab heater systems for electric vehicles. The first system includes a combustion chamber having a combustor inlet, a combustor outlet, and a hydrogen storage fluidly coupled to the combustor inlet configured to supply hydrogen to the combustor for combustion. The second system includes a fluid circulation pump, one or more cabin heat exchangers, a heat transfer tube fluidly connected to the fluid circulation pump and to the one or more cabin heat exchangers, and an insulated tank. The insulated tank includes a tank heat exchanger fluidly connected to the heat transfer tube, a resistance heater, and a phase change material. In the charging mode, the resistance heater provides heat to the phase change material and to the tank heat exchanger, while in the heating mode, the fluid circulation pump provides heat to the tank heat exchanger and to the one or more cabin heat exchangers.

A delivery device provides two medium flows guided separately from one another in a fuel-operated vehicle heater. The delivery device includes a first delivery wheel (14) rotatable about a first rotation axis (A) for delivering a first medium, a second delivery wheel (16) rotatable about a second rotation axis (A) for delivering a second medium, as well as a drive motor (12) for driving the first delivery wheel (14) and the second delivery wheel (16). At least one delivery wheel (16) is coupled with the drive motor (12) via a magnetic coupling device (60).

A system and method for configuring parameters for a variable gaseous appliance, comprise a sensor for detecting a composition of the gaseous fuel in a fuel tank. A first set of instructions are executable on a processor for receiving a signal from the sensor and analyzing the gaseous fuel based on the Wobbe Index, methane index, and inert gas percentage, to produce a gaseous fuel analysis. A second set of instructions are executable on the processor for producing a signal for configuring parameters of the engine for running the engine based on the gaseous fuel analysis.
