It's a heating element in the lower block coolant jacket, between the cylinders. Kinda' like a coffee maker. It heats the coolant, which, in turn, heats the block and heads.

If that is happening the antifreeze temp is hot enough to not need the glow plugs. (Like when you restart in the summer) It only needs to be plugged in for about 5 hours at -30 to be effective. More than that and you are just paying your hyrdo man.
