Why Tanis?
Engine Protection Begins Before Startup
For operators who demand uncompromising engine protection, Tanis multi-point preheat systems deliver the comprehensive, uniform heat soak required for confident cold-weather starts.
By heating the engine’s critical components—including the cylinder heads, crankcase, and deeper engine mass—Tanis helps maintain temperatures above the dew point, minimizing condensation and promoting more uniform clearances. The result is reduced startup wear, improved lubrication, and enhanced long-term engine protection.
Tanis systems incorporate patented heated elements and strategically positioned case heating pads to provide deep, consistent heat throughout the engine. Multi-point preheating also helps reduce spark plug frost, shorten startup times, and minimize unnecessary fuel consumption and engine wear.
Engineered for performance. Trusted for protection. Tanis provides a premium preheat solution designed to keep your aircraft ready for reliable operation when conditions are at their most demanding.
Can I leave a Tanis Preheat System plugged in all the time?
Yes, Tanis preheat systems can be plugged in continuously in ambient temperatures less than 100F/38C.
Can I use a portable generator?
Yes, as long as it has adequate continuous wattage capacity. It could be in AC or DC even.
How hot does the engine get?
Tanis systems are designed to raise the engine temperature 60±10 degrees F° (33.3±5.5 C°) above ambient.
What kind of extension cord do I need?
- 16+ gauge extension cord is normally adequate for 50 foot runs.
- The longer the cord the heavier (lower) the gauge you should use.
- A cold weather cord is recommended in cold regions for flexibility and reliability.
- See your systems pilot guide for more information.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL A TANIS PREHEAT KIT?
On a GA aircraft once the cowl is removed, it may take 2-5 man hours for completion per engine. Pad heat elements require curing before the aircraft can return to service. For helicopter and complete aircraft installs the time is variable based on the status of the aircraft and type of aircraft. Contact Tanis for additional help.
