Engine Thermal Options
Many car owners in the quality of the engine insulation use sound insulation with foil layer. It helps, but it is worth noting that this method is quite unsafe. As you know, the foil is a good conductor of electric current and when used in the space under the hood, the battery terminals or other contacts can close, which in turn can lead to the burning of sound insulation materials and, in consequence, to a car.
Also, some motorists use different covers for engine insulation. This method is also unsafe! And the reason is that such fabric materials can easily absorb oils and gasoline and become a source of ignition.
As described above, the special insulation of the StP HeatShield engine made of non-woven fabric does not absorb oils and gasoline and other lubricants and is absolutely safe for use in the engine compartment.

Output
After carrying out a small test of this engine heater, it turned out that it copes with its functions perfectly, especially with the function of noise and thermal insulation. The noise from the engine compartment has become noticeably less. The engine started running in the morning without problems, at a temperature of about -3 ° C outside. As for the preservation of heat, the engine after the shutdown was warm for more than 4 hours, which I consider to be quite a worthy result.
