Function of the spray nozzle heating
The spray nozzle heater is an essential component of many modern vehicles, especially in colder climates.It ensures that the windshield washer system works even in sub-zero temperatures.The heating elements in the nozzles prevent the wiper water from freezing.
This allows you to remove the obstruction of vision with water.As soon as the engine is running and the temperature drops below a certain level, the heater is activated automatically.It is supplied with power via the vehicle's electrical system. This system not only increases safety but also enhances comfort, as drivers do not have to clear the windshield of ice or snow manually.
