60,000 BTU/H Vehicle Space Heater

Developed for the United States Army Tank-Automotive Armaments Command (TACOM), the A20 Vehicle Heater is a dual-output unit with a selectable heat level between 60,000 BTU and 30,000 BTU (17.58 kW and 8.79 kW). The heater provides clean, warm air for the crew compartments of armored vehicles and may also be used to heat the enclosed cargo area of the 5-ton FMTV (Cargo Bay Heater Installation Kit – A20-CBHK required for installation). 

The system has multi-fuel compatibility including DF1, DF2, DFA, and JP8. Combustion air intake is taken from outside the heated compartment and exhaust gases are expelled outside the heated area, completely isolating ventilation air from combustion gases. 

The heater is user-friendly with self-diagnostics and remote fault signaling and is designed to minimize downtime and maintenance. The high / low switch on the vehicle master panel or optional remote control box controls the heat output. 

The Cargo Bay Heater Installation Kit (CBHK) contains everything needed to install an A20 heater in the cargo bay of a van body or heavy-wheeled vehicle. Initial installation can be accomplished by one person in approximately four hours and can be easily removed and/or reinstalled in approximately one hour
