Abstract
An engine-independent vehicle heating system has a connection piece that communicates with a combustion chamber and is linked with a fuel supply. The heater system has a glowing body that is fastened in the connection piece and evaporates and ignites the fuel at least during a starting phase of the heater system. A sieve element that is disposed in the connection piece encloses the glowing body and transports the fuel supplied to the connection piece in the direction of the combustion chamber. The sieve element in the interior of the connection piece is at least partially spaced from an inner wall of the connection piece facing the sieve element.
