Confirm your machine model number before ordering to ensure this is the correct air heater for your application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Heat Output Integrity — Manufactured to the same thermal output and combustion airflow specifications as the original, ensuring the heater delivers consistent BTU performance across its rated range.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to the original mounting and connection points, this air heater installs into the existing heater housing without adapters or fabrication.
- Broad Fitment Across Wacker Neuson Heater Lines — Fits E5000 Ground Heater (gas and diesel), HI750GM, HI750GM HD, CH5000 Cross Heater, and HI900DGM models, including surge brake configurations.
- Sustained Heat Delivery in Extreme Conditions — A worn or damaged air heater leads to uneven heat output, combustion instability, or complete heater shutdown; a correct replacement restores full heating capacity for concrete curing, ground thawing, and enclosed-space warming operations.
- Fuel System Safety Compliance — As a core combustion component, using a genuine OEM air heater maintains correct fuel-air mixing and combustion containment, which is critical for safe operation of indirect-fired heating equipment.
The air heater is the core combustion and heat-exchange assembly within an indirect-fired air heater unit. It draws in fuel — gas or diesel — mixes it with combustion air, and transfers the resulting heat into a clean airstream that is discharged into the work area, keeping exhaust gases separated from the heated air supply. When the air heater degrades or fails, the unit may produce insufficient heat, cycle erratically, or shut down entirely, disrupting cold-weather concrete work, ground thawing, or temporary enclosure heating. Replacing a worn air heater with a genuine Wacker Neuson 5000173271 restores safe, full-output operation to your heating equipment.
