yes in a way. block heaters heat the coolant in the block there for warming the block up. coolant heaters heat the coolant out side the engine like in the hoses and radiater. and when the coolant gets hot enough it opens the thermosate and starts flowing through the engine..The coolant heater should be hooked into the engine so that it heats only the engine and the heater core. If the coolant heater is trying to heat the radiator then it will not work very well to heat the engine, you would need a lot of BTUs to heat the radiator as it will shed all that heat to the air that is surrounding it.
What else can I help you with?
Have a 2002 Saturn SL The low coolant light is on after passing block and pressure tests and had a coolant flush What could be the problem?
Check the level in the coolant reservoir. There is a line "wall" in the jug. The coolant level should be just above that line. If it is then check if your reverse lights work. They are on the same fuse. If they work, you probabaly need a reservoir as the level switch is faulty
How do you replace the block heater in a 1995 Dodge Spirit?
Dodge Spirits don't have block heaters... block heaters are devices that you plug an electric cord to and plug it to an outlet to keep either the coolant or engine oil warm for better start... there isn't any block heaters on Dodge Spirits My wifes Spirit does !Canadian 93 Spirits have a block heater as standard ! Even has a parking clip under hood for the plug during summer to stop it swinging and rubbing paint work. It is on the rear face of the cylinder block; loosen BUT DO NOT REMOVE center screw, then wriggle the element out; it is bent at 90 degrees. If you undo the screw too far the inside clamp falls off and may work it's way into water pump or b;ock a water passage. ( Bin there, done that and fished it out with needle nose pliers but made me sweat ! )
Where is the fuse for the block heater in an 06 f250?
Block heaters work the same as the heater element in an electric kettle . The power comes from an electric outlet in your home etc. so there is no fuse on the vehicle for the block heater . The most common problem is a break in the block heater cord wiring just near the male end that you plug in to the electric outlet
How do solar water heaters work today?
it depends on the whether when the solar power heaters work
What type coolant is recommended by the manufacturer for a 2001 Buick Regal?
Unless there are big stickers saying otherwise, any vehicle will use ethelyne glycol based anti-freeze/boil-over protection coolant, such as Prestone, Prime, et cetera. Just beware of the 'really cheap' coolant, which is a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. Such is what you are supposed to add to the cooling system, but knowing how to drain the block is beyond most people, and, without draining the block, getting proper concentration in the cooling system using a 50/50 mix can be difficult. I recommend buying undiluted coolant, pouring out about a quart, and adding a quart of water to the jug, mixing well, and then adding to the cooling system. (Of course, this is after the cooling system has been properly back flushed to clean out sludge and corrosion.) Do not pour undiluted coolant into the cooling system, as it can corrode portions thereof before it mixes with the water in the cooling system. Do not run undiluted coolant in the cooling system, for the same reason. A 50/50 mix will protect a cooling system to about -45 degrees Fahrenheit, and if if gets colder than that where you live, you should be aware of the extra precautions you should take, such as block heaters, oil heaters, et cetera. It is necessary to have water in the cooling system for it to work properly, the anti-freeze is there to keep the water from freezing, not to act as a coolant on its own.
Where do heaters work best?
Heaters work best set on floor allowing the hot air to rise through the car and heat more air.
How Oil cooler in an aircraft engine work?

91 Chevy beretta temp gauge won't move and you already replaced the coolant sensor by the thermostat housing?
Make sure your coolant is FULL, it will stop reading if your coolant is low and the low coolant light doesn't always work. My radiator was full and i took the thermoustat off to find the block hlaf empty on my 91. Paco
Where does the air flow into the heater?
All heaters work pretty much the same. Air intake is either from inside ( recirculated ) or from outside ( vent ) Most home heaters do not have a vent option, so they are pretty much taking in recirculated air through a filter.

Is the long block of a 1994 Chevy 350 the same as a1997 350?
The BLOCK is the same other then the 97 is a roller cam block. If you are asking if a COMPLETE 1994 engine will work in a 1997 then NO it won't. If I have not answered your question then it is because I don't know what you are trying to do.
