ABSTRACT:
A selected quantity of lubricating oil in the reservoir of an oil system exposed to low ambient temperatures is maintained at a temperature above 170 degrees F. but below the oil breakdown temperature of 300 degrees F. by a non-thermostatically controlled flexible planar electric heating element adhesively secured to the exterior surface of the reservoir. The heating element has a uniform power density of at least about 15 watts per square inch and a constant power output of about 20 to 40 watts per quart of oil in the reservoir. The thermal balance formed between the continuous heat generation by the heating element and the continual heat dissipation from the oil system maintains the oil temperature between the desired limits.
