Abstract
An engine starting apparatus for an extremely cold climate has a regenerator which stores heat of exhaust gas during operation of the engine. The regenerator has sufficient heat capacity to maintain the stored heat for at least 10 hours after stopping the engine. Suction gas to start the engine can be heated sufficiently to facilitate starting of the engine. Temperature control device mixes fresh air with air from the regenerator to obtain suitable suction temperature.
