Nice Video again. One point to note Kero has no lubricity . This will lead to early fuel pump failure I run mine on 50% kero and 50% diesel and have not had a pump fail since.

Just plumb it direct into the inlet and outlet of the rad. Direct heat from combustion. No messing about.

This light comes on after driving 2-3 miles and goes off again after about 30 seconds, any idea what it could be?

Your also causing a negative pressure inside the room your heating by having the burner air intake inside the room and the exhaust on the outside. The result is it will pull cold air in from the outside like from around the door etc

You should definitely not install the silencer indoors. It usually has a small hole on one side to allow condensation to drain off. In addition, it is generally not completely sealed as it is only spot-welded. As a result, exhaust gases escape, which can quickly become dangerous in enclosed spaces.

Congratulations, you have built a condensing diesel heater. The steam is proof you are extracting energy from the exhaust. Mount the heat ex closer to the output of the machine and reverse the direction of water flow for greater efficiency. All the best to you.

saw a video saying that if you port the exhaust in to a greenhouse or mini greenhouse you can get some fantastic results, they give out co2 and its great for plants

How do you keep the battery charged up?

If your claiming to run this on waste oil you are chatting waffle pal. Tried multiple times with veg oil and it fails with jsit a few ml of veggie oil in 10l diesel.

I have one exactly the same , but lately I’ve turn it on , 3 min later shuts down and smoke comes out of the in air take, bit worried, any one here knows what it could be thanks

I have a couple of these, one heating our motor home in our Alaska winter. Very reliable, sips fuel and all around great purchase.

Loving these experiments!

You should try putting the exhaust in a coil configuration to get more surface area within the water tank - perhaps better in a cylinder or barrel to accommodate a coil and aid better heat transfer to the water. At present your system only has a foot of exhaust submerged in water. Better still what about an air to water heat exchanger. Cool project though 👍

U have a through loung that helps with d h

You really pushing this diesel heater efficiency thing to another level. :D Of all solutions i have seen, this is the best yet, imagine the exchanger would be longer or twice in a row. Well done mate.

Excellent I just found the same item in America. $6.58

I remember my dad recharging duracells back in the seventies. Used a car battery charger with resistors to limit the current. Needless to say he left it on too long and one of them exploded. C cells can go off with quite a bang!😮 Best to check cell voltage when new, and set your charge voltage at that with a current limit. Then the current will drop as it charges. I'd be inclined to do it outside in a metal box though, just in case!😂

Looked these up and found article after article about how these were very dangerous. I remembered the breakthrough in the 90’s that you could buy alkaline rechargers that were smart and controlled the power carefully to refill them slowly over a few hours. So are they dangerous?

Please say ‘The Recuperation Lounge, Christ no wonder you only got 3%’ It would bring me right back to my childhood.

You might want to consider a low voltage cutoff board as well so you don't over discharge that SLA battery.

I'd prolly use a bunch of thin pipes in parallel. You'd need to fabricobble at least one manifold, but you'll get much more surface area without creating much back pressure.

Doesn't copper release toxic gases when heated to high enough temperature?

Again thank you for being so humble. Yes I live in Malta and in winter houses are a little on the chilly side un like summer months. So I thought of using the heating system having two external yards one half way on the ground floor and one in the rear of my ground floor home I have

Fantastic. You may get some back pressure issues with the length of that pipe so will be interesting to see how well this does. Get some exhaust paste on the joints for the exhaust.

IME I've found that using a low current (<100mA) NiCad/NiMH charger will work reasonably well for some batteries (not Duracell!) as they won't get hot (don't use Li-Ion chargers or high current) - if you catch them at around 1.2-1.3V then that tends to work better than anything lower - however it's a bit hit and miss as some will work and others won't - fine for "non-critical" devices such as clocks or remotes etc which have a low current draw but not so great on other stuff like the thermostat! I tend to get a few more cycles out of the alkalines this way. I'm going to see if I can find one of those battery genie jobbies 👍

You need to raise the heater higher to ensure the exhaust is running at a continuous slope down. If you leave it sloping up, the pipe will get full of water and completely block up causing a flameout. Ask me how I know……

The one worry i had was if there are any smells of fumes in the house with you set up. It seems not. I want to so the same set up asmyourore or less. Which heater so you recommend please feom your experience? Thank you so much once again for putting this video together, it seems difficult to dind the right video but you have answered mist of my worries😊

Couldn’t you use a regular radiator?

Hmmm I just bought Amazon rechargeable, they tested good on project farms

Does that heater have a forced exhaust system? Otherwise I'd be worried about the exhaust flow stagnating and resulting in CO2/CO buildup in the room with it with that much pipe, especially with no draft helping it since it is going downward. Other thing you have to remember is that a radiator like this works both ways, when the unit is off the heat from the room can more quickly exit through the metal piping.

They're not designed whatsoever for waste oil they get clogged up and the pump get damaged

Thanks for the information. Would you post a link for the radiator you used? Thanks again.

How much have you spent on fuel so far

Great info bud , think ime going to invest , what heater is it please

Everything all right with back pressure created by the longer exhaust pipe? If so I will def do this. Smart.

Hi my nearest farm supply shop sells kerosene for 77 p a litre well worth finding these places if you can

Hi Andy, I'd say that's one of the best designs yet for dumping heat into the room, the thinner the pipe wall the better it'll work. I have to do the matt black trick on the bike headers all the time, just remember the further away from the source you stand the lower the reading on the infrared gun but when you use it up close the sensor is about an inch below the laser pointer so aim an inch high.

It’s not free when you have to buy the heater and fill it was diesel, not to mention the likelihood of prematurely corroding the exhaust pipe and I assume the water is going to start boiling at some stage. Be a lot cheaper to just buy a small water heater. If you really want hot water from a diesel heater, look at a water heat exchanger. Much safer and cleaner setup

How did you get the middle seat out? Cant seem to find it in the manual/ or any guides out there

Ya should use a heatconverter and a small waterpump instead

This is what RUclips has come to explaining basic common sense ideas to the inbreds add infidels

I am At Kodiak Alaska, I actually need 2 heater's. I am at the point of adding extra fuel line to like 5 gl jugs,.I have a vevor 5kw and a xportion 8kw

Just found this channel. If a radiator is cold at the top, it definitely needs bleeding. Also, if the water in the tank is still getting hotter when the pump is running, the radiator is too small, and eventually it's going to boil, as there is no way to tell the heater to switch off. This is not a good thing. Have you tried a large cast iron radiator, with direct flue gasses from top entry to bottom exit?

Put a erg cooler on the exhaust

How has it been still reliable

You need to place the diesel heater higher so that condensation doesn't build up in the exhaust pipe.

Will the heat not melt the rad paint after its been on for many hours?

The radiator will eventually coke up but you can always flush this out or make a tubular radiator a few " thick 😉

Just curious what the cost of oxygen and acetylene is over there? Its pretty cheap here in the US, I pay about $20 to refill a 155 CF oxygen cylinder, and about $70 for the same size acetylene refill. Unfortunately I rent the cylinders at a cost of $75 per cylinder per year due to a agreement between the gas suppliers in my area not to refill customer owned cylinders over a certain size. In other words you ether rent the cylinders or pay considerably more per cubic foot of gas with the small cylinders, they are going to get your money one way or another 🤣.

Im. Busy dealing with this , love vevor heater
