Lidl sells the CO detectors for 9.99EUR, with all the german TUV certifications! (I think in this situation a CO detector is more important than a CO2 detector that you bought... CO will kill you long before the CO2 reaches dangerous levels!)

Actual startup current when the glow plug is on is probably more like 8-9A. CO/CO2 detector will tell you if the heat exchanger has failed; all combustion products should exit outside through exhaust pipe. You can get cheap powerful Chinese 12V power supplies if you have issues with the battery running down - And they have a pot to adjust the output voltage, which you could set at your battery float voltage of ~ 13.6. I like the battery though, because it will work even if your power is out. The smell will go down once the materials off-gas a bit more. You can also use a longer exhaust pipe inside to extract more heat for higher efficiency. Cool garage, I wish I had that!!
@Ants_Pants7 ай бұрын

Great to see your fabrication upgrades and finally some heat for your shop. I must admit I’m cold watching you work in your shop during the winter. The heater seems to put out a decent amount of heat for such a little box. A small fan on low will distribute that heat around your shop nicely. You don’t need your shop 22 C, just 15 C would be very comfortable in your work clothes. I look forward to seeing how your heater works @ -20 C…..normal Canadian winter temperatures.

Fantastic Ants, now you have decent shop heating. I prefer a woodstove over a diesel heater. But woodstoves need a certain setup and they are a hazard that needs constant attention. So in your setup a Diesel heater is better. Also having a diesel heather is very good to heat up tractors crank case and gear oil, when it's super cold outside.

Install a wood burning stove. Wood is like air: its free, its everywhere. Get that burning, but use the diesel heater to warm up initially. Omce the stove is hot, keep it stoked to maintain heat. I find chopped trees that people want gone all the time, and wood pallets (you wanted untreated, chemical free) are everywhere for free where I am in the northeast. Companies just stack em up on the road. Go really bananas and make a shop heater out of an old clothes dryer. You need 240v for this tho, but they work great. You now have 3 sources of heat, like the Rockefellers and other big shots... 😅

Hey buddy! Vevor sent me one of these as well but mine has the one with the external fuel tank and pump. A few tips: one I would put a long pipe on the exhaust like you did on the intake and just the radiant heat from that will help warm the shop. Two I would just get one of those small cheap battery maintainers and hook it to the battery to keep it charged all the time. I noticed your fuel pump makes a loud noise on yours, mine is pretty quiet so maybe check yours and make sure there isn’t any air in it or somthing isn’t loose. Man your shop sure has came along way I wish I had one that awesome!!

I have a similar heater at my cabin, the exhaust gave me some troubles. The standart exhaustpipe is too small in diameter if extendet, this leads to overheating issues and carbon buildup in the burning chamber. I fixed this issue by taking the standart pipe and cutting it in half, the shorter pipe leads into an 2m long chimney that is 7cm in diameter. This has fixed all the previouse problems and has doubled the efficency. Before this fix the heater would display error codes every few hours and would need some help igniting.
