You should run the burner air intake to the outside. You are currently sucking warm air from the air and blowing it out side via the exhaust. On top of that you are creating negative air pressure in the house, sucking cold outside air into the house.

You’re in danger of gassing yourself there - couple of improvements. Lay the unit on it’s side and have the first joint and the whole exhaust outside. This joint is notorious for failing and CO leaks. In campers they have a turret plate to allow that joint to go outside. Better to site the unit outside and pull the intake inside if you want the warm air to be heated. If you place inside you can put it on its side needs glow plug on top but the unit first exhaust joint would be sealed outside. Good luck ! You MUST get a carbon monoxide monitor/alarm.

The oxygen for combustion is being drawn from inside the heated space. As the oxygen is depleted the heater will draw oxygen in from outside and with it cold air. The air/oxygen intake should be placed to the outside to prevent the drawing of cold air into the heated space. This is why fireplaces that are not using combustion air from the outside create cold in the extremities of the heated space, ie: a draft.

I'm glad you showed the exhaust and talked about it. I keep seeing these online where people run the exhaust into their building, to save fuel--a huge problem and asking for trouble, in my opinion. It is difficult to convince some people that you can't burn fuel in an enclosed space without venting to the outside.

@georgedeaney7270 Жыл бұрын

FYI for others that want to install these. With a single wall shed, the heater should have been mounted on its side with the exhaust and combustion air external and glowplug at top. The golden rule is big pipes inside and small pipes outside. Under certain fault conditions there is always a chance of combustion air exiting the inlet, so another reason for keeping the small pipes outside. Always fit a CO detector.

@georgedeaney7270 Жыл бұрын

@@cfcyayaya Just depends how many power cuts you might get. There is a argument by some for having a battery capable of starting and shutdown with a smart charger. The what if scenario then comes into play. For there to be any chance of damage( I don't subscribe to the theory) the heater would have to be flat out for a while at exactly the same time as the mains fails - bookies odds?. The battery and smart charger could cost more than the motherboard. For me I assume that those that advocate a battery etc have a standby generator to power the fridge, freezer, boiler etc just in case the mains fails. Backup water supply and so on.

It's a bit more fiddly setting it up as you should run inline fuses between the 2 batteries and a switch to stop charging so you don't flatten your van start up battery but well worth it, i would highly recommend these units for cheap and easy way to heat garage mobile home caravan and campers. I also have been running it on kerosene which is half the price of diesel here and I think in my own opinion it burns cleaner than the diesel and just as warm.

Always great videos as always Martin. I just installed my Diesel air heater as well, they work amazingly for the price. Since your running the exhaust through the wall, just straight pipe it outside with no muffler. You will find much better airflow, wth about a 5"F/8''F increase. Noise is hardly increased with that little muffler removed. For my setup, I used 3/4 copper tubing, and zero back pressure. The Flexi pipe in the kit makes many ripples in the flow due to the ribbing. 60107 USA says hi.

The green line softens up a bit and you will eventually get a “ low fuel “ error from the controller . The pulse pump only produces 0.02 mm of fuel per pulse and the green tubing expands a little bit and the sensor will turn off the heater with a “ low fuel “ warning .

Mine is pretty much the same set up, I run mine on red diesel with a 50/50 mix of kerosene it burns slightly hotter and i always leave mine on H2 and use the "alpine" mode when it's warm enough. Every Man and his dog will tell you "how you should have fitted it" I say if it works for you then its a win win! I do agree the silencer should be outside and a change of fuel line to the rigid type. Embark on a CO meter for your own safety my friend and maybe you can cut and push one of the hoses through the wall to heat the other side.

@TurboTimsWorld Жыл бұрын

Nice install but the burner side "air in" supply for safety should be also taken from outside (the black tube above the exhaust) that means any risk of CO goes in and out from outside and your inside "air heat in and air out" from inside. If you look how its mounted to the floor of a camper it makes sense, burner air from under the van heat air from inside. BUT also your setup as per the video is sucking warm workshop air burning it and throwing it outside you may create a negative pressure (pos not in a wooden workshop) but you could in perfectly sealed space get poor combustion and CO levels build up. You also could "harvest the heat from the exhaust" by using metal air duct tube over the top of it and blowing air through it. great video I had a camping gas powered heater like this one so if you don't want diesel camping gas versions are available.

@thermos750 Жыл бұрын

Nice work mate!! From watching 4-5 videos today from these heaters, it is "not" recommended using "copper" with diesel heaters. The two don't mix and you can create some bad CO2 from the copper as the oil exhaust does not mix well.....I see that there is other kits you can get to extend your current exhaust that is the same piping as you have.

@royevans4581 Жыл бұрын

Just a suggestion. I would run the combustion air intake (thin pipe) from outside, as particularly in winter, when you need it most, the air is cold and therefore more dense, making for a more efficient burn. Think intercoolers in turbo engines. Where you have it at the moment, it will be flowing less dense air the warmer the inside space becomes. If you choose to do that with the cold air inlet, make sure it is a good distance away from the exhaust outlet. You don't want to be sucking in exhaust gases! Cheers mate. All the best.

@LOGIBEAR01 Жыл бұрын

That's not exactly correct. I work with large power and recovery boilers. They are 10 stories tall. We pre-heat the combustion air with heat exchangers fed by the boilers flu gas to recover the heat leaving the boiler. We also use the flu gas to pre-heat the feed water going into the boilers to recover even more flu gas temperature that would otherwise be wasted. The boilers also draw warm indoor air from that plant. This make them more efficient because you don't need to waste heat by buring more fuel per unit of work output to heat cold outdoor air and cold feed water. If you don't have to burn more fuel to make up for the cold air and water, you can generate steam with less fuel. Having the air intake with in the room being heated, drawing heated air the unit is producing, will decrease fuel consumption per BTU of effective heat entering the heated space. Forced induction engines are more efficient in terms of power generated per unit of displacement. They are not, however, nessisarily more efficient in terms of the unit of fuel burned vs unit of work output. The math is very well understood on this matter. There are whole perrfessions to do with thermal dynamics.

Looks good, but you might consider what may happen if you get a powercut while using heater. It could cause the electronics to over heat . Lots of people take the risk, But I found this on aliexpress. A power supply with a battery charger built in, and UPS, if there is a powercut it automaticaly switches to battery power. link will be bellow. This works a treat for my emergency house heating. Mounted outside but in a insulated metal cabnet, with flow and return holes through house walls. so as the same as you have warm air is recyled not drawing cold outside air in! plus the tank is outside completely, I may have think about anti gelling stuff if it gets very cold diesel. but no worries of spilling diesel indoors it only been fitted for a short while already I am using it instead of central heating, Its direct into living room. and on lowest it is hotter than the central heating, even leaving doors open to rest of house. In think this will save me on energy bills Link. 180W Switching Power Supply 12V 24V Monitor Universal AC DC 13.5A UPS/Charge Function Input 110/220v Battery Charger SC180W

Nice tidy installation Martin. I used the same exhaust tape on mine - it works a treat, the exhaust barely gets warm now. Nice to see you went down the power supply route 👍 Don’t know if you realise this, but those vent pipes expand to about twice the length they are when supplied?

You need to remove the silencer from inside the building the condensation drain at the bottom also allows combustion gases out as well such as carbon monoxide you can get a marine silencer for inside use if you wish to have one that's fully sealed and room safe a cracking addition to any space that needs heating cheaply and easily though

I was about to say the same about the silencer and condensation drain being moved to outside. Also, the point you touched on about not turning of the power to the unit - this is why it's best to have a 12v battery being trickle charged and powering the unit because then in the event of a power failure (brownout, blackout or just RCD trip) your unit is still powered and can be shut down safely... Nice little setup though and you should get some good use out of that...

Looks great Martin, my shed gets freezing as well! At 12C you're in a T-shirt? Today our top temperature was 14 and I was in a jumper and jacket haha, cheers.

the remote works from a fair distance away too ive got an all in one unit in my shop i use the remote to turn it on let it warm up for a bit before i head out there mines hooked up to a battery but thats because i also use the battery to power a winch i use to pull my project in the shop and qith a snatch block hanging from the ceiling it doubles as a crane because lifting stuff post stroke sucks

Nice setup, although I did see several vid's saying the fuel filter needs to be vertical to maximise getting rid of any air bubbles supposedly. Like n sub.

One little tip on power supply too from here - it's better to use car battery with smart charger. Why? Because in case of power outage your burner with battery backup will not stop abruptly. And it actually needs this cooldown cycle. If the fan stops running while burner has been on full power it can melt the plastic as there is no cooldown.
