Installing an additional heat source
Before installing the NAMI-4 heater or another model, the old stove is dismantled. If possible, the existing heating system is improved by blowing the side windows.
For this, a tee, flexible wiring, drills are used. Initially, holes will need to be made in the torpedo by installing side air ducts from KAMAZ or ZIL in them.
If a NAMI-4 heater is installed in the UAZ Hunter or UAZ 469 as an additional furnace, then it is connected as follows:
- In parallel: motor block - electric pump - tee - ball valves - stove radiators - tee - motor pump. It should be noted that each radiator has its own heat transfer and permeability. Upon completion of the dismantling work, the passage of antifreeze is adjusted with the help of taps through the heater. This move will allow them to blow in the same direction.
- Consistently: motor block - electric pump - stove radiator - heater radiator - engine pump.
When tuning, you need to remember that the electric pump works more efficiently when antifreeze puts strong pressure on it. Therefore, you need to install the first element after the motor block. For better heating, hot antifreeze should go up the radiator, and the remaining liquid should come out from the bottom. This is explained by a change in the density of matter.
Another effective method of heating the UAZ 469 interior is tuning the cooling system. Its work is arranged in such a way that practically no hot coolant enters the heater radiator. For this, an electric additional pump is installed. Initially, she understands. Screws are used instead of screws. Such tuning will get rid of the leak.
A new structure is installed before or after the stove. The pump is fixed to the body of the UAZ Hunter with 2 self-tapping screws. From an electrical point of view, this device will work from the moment the voltage is applied. At the same time, the valve will close the line. Auto mechanics recommend controlling a modern heating system using 2 switches:
- 1st is responsible for turning on the valve and supplying voltage;
- 2nd turns on the pump.
Right choice
In winter, you want comfortable warmth in the cabin
To insulate the interior of the UAZ 469, it is recommended to replace the existing heater with a more powerful analogue. You can buy such a radiator from Zhiguli. This will require some modifications, including the crane.
It is allowed to install an additional heater in the rear part of the passenger compartment of the considered models. The choice of stove depends on personal preferences, tastes and finances of the owner of the UAZ 469 or UAZ Hunter. In any case, the heater configuration changes. It can serve as:
- KITB.3221-8110010;
- heater NAMI-4 or NAMI-7,
- oven from Zhiguli.
Auto mechanics recommend installing an autonomous heater NAMI-4 on this model, which will run on gas fuel. This takes into account that, regardless of the choice made, the stove should have a power of 2-4 kW. The advantage of such a system is autonomous maintenance of the temperature in the cabin. Minus - difficult installation.
Before proceeding with tuning the UAZ Hunter, you need to consider that the crane must also be replaced. This is due to its inconvenient location and tendency to leak. The correct solution in this case is to insert a new unit into this system. The crane is installed closer to the stove.
You need to embed the corner tap in the cabin, otherwise it may become clogged with dirt. In this situation, one fitting is led into the box, and the second is connected to a similar element of the radiator. An important point in this matter is the correct choice of the part. It is recommended to install an adjustable valve.
