so confusing and complcated. I have no idea still what that white tank is for? is the air heater heating and mixing hot water in that tank? bro I just need a big picture basic over view. way too zoomed in.
@MispronouncedAdventures 9 минут бұрын
@@aaronclarkt yes it’s a hot water tank. it’s a hot water system. I unpack the whole kit and say what each part is

Hey man, love your videos and this one got me thinking. Is there a way you could pair this with a 10 litre insulated tank for water heating instead of using the diesel heater with air exchanger?
@MispronouncedAdventures 3 сағат бұрын
Yes, you could have it directly heating a large volume of water, although long-term they’re probably not best directly looking water. They’re meant to be heating coolant. As a coolant has a lower freezing temperature, higher boiling temperature and a corrosion inhibitor.

Which roads in particular looked familiar? It does have voice commands, although with the current software version I’m running I haven’t found them that User intuitive. When they work, it seems to be okay, but it can be hit and miss me getting some work at the moment.

wow, great and thoroughly tested👍🏻 If you take the consumption/h and the energy of diesel with an average efficiency, version 1 should have around 2.5 to 3kw and version 2 around 3.5 to 4kw. Am I right with my estimate? All manufacturers exaggerate massively. A system with 8kW output must try to use at least 0.8 liters of diesel/h plus the losses. That must be somewhere between 0.9 and 1 liter/h.
@MispronouncedAdventures 3 сағат бұрын
The “8 kW” output systems are meant to have a bigger heat exchanger. Although those units are actually very rare to see in the wild. Usually, they just allow us higher pump and fan speed to make the output more powerful. I don’t think it uses near 0.8L on my testing. I’m. It sure what a true 8 kW heater uses fuel wise

[11:36] Well done. Maybe 2025 will be the year to bring out a book of arctic photographs? Also, I was going to ask if you had any emergency communication facilities via satellite, but as you have an iPhone 14 there, the answer is `yes`. Meanwhile, I'm just about ready to start watching series 4. ;-)

A good point I don’t actually use many Arctic photos on my photography portfolio website. As a satellite communications whilst iPhone 14 and my 16 do you have the feature. I don’t think it’s yet to be fully activated outside of the US outside except for Emergency options. But for my satellite communications, carry a Garmin inreach mini which I usually take all over the planet when working on remote expeditions

@@MispronouncedAdventures `carry a Garmin inreach mini which I usually take all over the planet` -> ahh, that is what I was getting at. The Garmin (or the Zoleo) is a very handy tool to have in an emergency. You seem to have that nicely covered, so the issue of an iPhone14 (onwards) is somewhat irrelevant. You have spent the money on some solid emergency equipment. Well done. I only ask as I don't recall ever seeing an inreach mini pinned to your chest - it is probably safely in your pocket when needed, no doubt.

@@MispronouncedAdventures Some pro photographers use very large format glossy books, with one photo per page. Not, particularly my cup of tea. But, for example, your van at [11:37] shows just the right colours (IMHO) for some artwork, with blue inside, a limited amount of Northern Lights, lots of clear stars, settlement to the left and orange glow to the right, (plus the wheels and rack), is pretty much spot on. That presented as maybe a (smaller book) half page (two to a page), with maybe a very brief note about any weather issues / any story issues at the time, would provide a great photographic memoir of your Arctic life, mixed up from four series. A very brief intro at the start of the book, listing your kit (eg Camera C1 was ..., C2 was ... , Lens L1 was ... etc, plus Drone D1), could then be covered on each photo page with a simple code, eg C2 / L1, without needing to waffle on too much about camera gear all over the place. Likewise, a quick 2 page intro at the start of the book about long exposure photography for the Northern Lights, would save yourself from having to repeat yourself on every page. A cheap and cheerful book put out on the am.a.zon market place might be another helpful revenue stream to help with the new van build?

I'm not a cold weather camper as such but as a likely one-off I'm heading to the Alps this winter in my van (VW T4) to spend a week on my own skiing before the rest of the family arrives for week 2 and we all move into a chalet. I'll be staying at 2,300m and average lows will be -10c and electic hook-up is not available. Stuff I've taken care of so far aside from legal stuff like snowchains etc: My antifreeze mix should be good down to -30c. My washer fluid is ok down to -20c. I will leave my fresh and waste water tanks empty and in the open position. I'm not going to run my fridge all week when camped will instead make sure it is very cold when I arrive after the long drive and will then run it as coolbox for the week. I have a 100W non-mounted solar panel that I plan to use to keep the leisure battery topped up to ensure my Webasto diesel heater will fire up each evening. I won't be in the van at all during the day if I can help it. I plan to be on the slopes or in a bar eating and drinking - nothing in between! One of my main concerns is that ultimately my van will be parked up for 2 weeks in an environment where it might get warm in the Alpine spring sun during the day but could still get down to -15c at night depending on the weather. So my question is whether I should start and run the engine on idle for a time whilst I'm parked up during the week to make sure the engine battery remains charged? And if I do this, how long should I idle the engine for?
@MispronouncedAdventures 3 сағат бұрын
Sounds like you’ve got it planned out. Your vehicle should probably just be fine sat for a few weeks although if potentially needed a bit more power back in your battery you could turn it on every couple days. bit helped warm the inside up, warm the engine up and get some power back in the battery.

Great video. Thank you! It would be great to have the thermostat feature within the van wouldn't it? Do you (does or anyone else reading this) know if it would be possible / easy / very tricky to remove the controller or temperature sensor from the unit and extend it to inside a van so that we could have a thermostatically controlled van temp from an external heater?

I’ve had a Kroak TB2. The Bluetooth is glitchy but just about works but is temperamental and there’s no physical fuel gauge
@MispronouncedAdventures 3 сағат бұрын
Never had issues with the Bluetooth myself I found it quite responsive and connected easily. What issues did you have? Whilst it doesn’t have a physical fuel gauge opening this side of the box does reveal it. I have seen some people cut slots in the plastic lids they could see the fuel tank without having to even open.
@waldo197720 2 сағат бұрын
@ It’s to do with the actual connection to the Bluetooth despite holding it a foot away from the unit. I would say 70% of the time it connects fine, 30% it just buffers and doesn’t connect. Then when I try to do it manually on the controller that doesn’t allow me to adjust temp or speed. So it’s turn it all off and start again. That usually fixes it. Apart from that, great bit of kit

A well implemented analysis of this diesel heater! I enjoy not only your work on giving us well-informed information on heaters but I love your adventures as well. I travel the tundra regions of Canada. So I know how difficult these trips can be. The biggest difference i see in Norway and Finland is the modernization of their northern regions. In my province you go to the northern region, you can be on your own for a good length of time. My primary source of heat is a diesel heater but as you experienced and I. They can fail sometimes at critical times. So, with this in mind. I have a small tent wood stove as a backup to a second diesel heater backup. Even had to use it lol. Thank you, keep up the good work!
