    This workshop manual is used to support instructed personnel when repairing the Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 benzin or diesel air heaters. 1.1.1 Use of air heaters The Webasto Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 air heaters are used: – To heat cabins, boats, trucks, minibuses, vans, ambulances and motorhomes –...
  • Page 8: General Safety Precautions

    1.4.2 General Safety Precautions The repair and commissioning of the unit may only be carried out by personnel trained by Webasto. The repair and installation of the unit may only be carried out in accordance with the workshop manual and the installation instructions.
  • Page 9 Webasto. Claims can only be made if it can be verified that the claimant has complied with the servicing and safety instructions.
  • Page 10: General Description

    Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes contained therein will lead to all liability being refused by Webasto. The same applies if repairs are carried out incorrectly or with the use of parts other than genuine spare parts. This will result in the heater's warranty being voided, and therefor also of the General Homologation/ECE Type Approval.
  • Page 11: Drive Unit

    Figure 1: Air Top Evo 40/55 Air Heater Figure 2: Air Top Evo 40/55 Air Heater (without housing) Drive Unit The drive unit consists of the drive motor, the combustion air fan, the heating air fan and the intake housing. The combustion air fan supplies the air required for the combustion process from the combustion air inlet to the evaporator mount.
  • Page 12: Heat Exchanger

    Heat Exchanger The heat generated by combustion in the heat exchanger is given off to the cold air transported by the heating air fan. Figure 4: Heat Exchanger Evaporator Mount with Combustion Pipe The fuel is distributed via the metal fibre evaporator (fleece) in the evaporator mount. The mixture of fuel and air burns in the combustion chamber, thus causing the heat exchanger to become hot.
  • Page 13: Glow Plug

    Glow Plug The mixture of fuel and air is ignited by the glow plug when the heater is started. The glow plug designed as an electrical resistor is positioned in the burner assembly (evaporator mount with combustion pipe) on the side facing the flame. Figure 7: Glow Plug Exhaust Temperature Sensor The exhaust temperature sensor is a low-resistance PTC resistor which changes its resistance in dependence on the...
  • Page 14: Overheat Temperature Sensor

    Overheat Temperature Sensor The overheat temperature sensor measures the temperatures in the fin area of the heat exchanger during the entire heater operation. The control unit evaluates the signal and regulates the hot air outlet temperature and controls the overheating switch-off. Figure 9: Overheat Temperature Sensor Control Unit The control unit is the central component for ensuring the operating sequence.
  • Page 15: Fuel Pump

    Fuel Pump The fuel pump is a combined pumping, metering and shut-off system for the heater fuel supply. The Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 heaters must be operated with the DP 42 fuel pump. Figure 11: Fuel Pump Function Description Control Element Air Top Evo 40 / Air Top Evo 55 can be activated either with suitable control elements, e.g.
  • Page 16: Switching On

    Switching On Switch on heater. Set the control element to the required temperature. The starting process begins when the room temperature is below the set point temperature. Note: If the room temperature is above the selected set point temperature, only the drive motor with the combustion and heating air fan runs.
  • Page 17: Control Mode

    To increase the burner service life in continuous operation, the delivery capacity of the fuel pump is reduced for 10 seconds every 10 minutes. In addition, the heating mode is briefly interrupted after every 8 hours and then automatically restarted in the same way as for a control break.
  • Page 18: Fault Switch-Off

    Fault Switch-Off Errors on the various heater components and faults in the starting process and in heating mode are identified in the control unit. For safety reasons, the fuel pump will be switched off after all detected faults. The heater is switched off and switches into the fault lock-out mode.
  • Page 19: Technical Data

    Certain errors result in the errors being added up in the error memory. If the number of errors in the error memory have exceeded a limit, the heater changes over to the heater lock-out. The maximum number of errors in the error memory or the error memory limit is defined by Webasto. Cancel Heater Lock-Out The heater lock-out can be cancelled: –...

    If a malfunction occurs, a flashing code is displayed on the operating indicator or a fault code F .. on the combination timer. In addition, the heater can be checked using a personal computer (see Webasto PC Thermo Test PC Diagnosis operating manual).
  • Page 22: Error Symptoms During Function

    If serious malfunctions, such as overheating or failure to start, occur with increasing frequency, then the heater is permanently locked out and can only be returned to operation following repairs by Webasto trained professionals. When equipped with a combination timer, a fault code output appears on the display after a malfunction occurs until the heater malfunction has been eliminated.
