Carburetor’s heater
A heating system of the carburetor air intake reduces the risk of freezing in wet and cold
conditions. This system uses a detour in the motor oil circuit to raise the temperature of
the air intake of the carburetor. It is designed to run continuously. However, a valve
placed between the carburetors allows it to turn off (e.g. in flight conditions at
particularly high temperatures).
