Here is my test of a Chinese diesel heater 5kw to 8kw heaters . I was pleasantly surprised with results.

I have been running mine to heat my greenhouse every night, running in manual mode. I start it on low at sunset, and bump it up to medium before I go to bed (using the remote). The following morning, I turn it off manually at 9am. That's 16 hours of run-time. I refill it with exactly 1 gallon. Last night, I decided to try automatic mode. I set it to 11 degrees Celsius, and also let it run for 16 hours. It only used 1/2 gallon in that mode.

This fits well with other videos about this "8" kW heater, Maximum output seems to be around 3 kW.(i L diesel contains around 10 kWh energy, so 8 kW should be 0.8 L/h+ exhaust losses. Remember this when you compare to electrical heating costs.(Usually cheaper than electricity anyway depending on where you live)

Thank you for doing this. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to know before purchasing one. Best 20 minutes I've spent.

I just purchased one of these and the specs they're giving on The one I purchased is .48 liters per hour so that's very close to your experiment happy to see that and very impressed
@oliver90owner Жыл бұрын
Was yours purportedly claimed to be 8kW? Diesel only contains about 10 1/2kWh per litre, so will only deliver about 5kWh worth of fuel every hour. Take off the heat losses and you are well below 5kW of useful heat output.😊

Thank you for sharing. Let it complete the shit down mode to reduce risk of damage to unit. This will be my second winter and it is awesome heat for my insulated 12*20 wood shop. Everyone stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Please never disconnect the power when it is running, because it needs to run its shutdown process to cool down so you don't burn up the circuit board. Also it's a good idea to run it on high for 10 to 30 minutes before you shut off to burn off carbon deposit

There is a video with heater think its used 3 years every winter every day they just put old car oil frying oil everything used even water in the mix anyway they open up the heater and to be sure there was build up of all the waste but it was just wash it out and re fire it up and it just as good as new :-)

Dyed diesel is about $0.10/L cheaper. Furnace oil is just dyed diesel but if you are pulling it out of a heating oil tank in Ontario you might as well just buy clear at the pump because they put a tax on heating oil that eats any savings. There is a cardlock here that will sell dyed without a cardlock card. Some won't do that. I have a petropass fuel card but I don't think my work would appreciate using it lol

I was curious the difference in output temp on low versus high mode. You said about 200 degrees on high never heard the output on low. And I’m wondering if you pulled outside air to burn in the combustion chamber if it would be a benefit or a loss on keeping the inside temperature up.

Simple mathematics tells you how much fuel you should use. The .022ml dosing pumps that are fitted to the 5kw and 8kw heaters use 0.119L/Hr running at 1.5Hz, 0.158L/Hr @ 2Hz, 0.238L/Hr @ 3Hz, 0.317L/Hr @ 4Hz and 0.396L/Hr running at 5Hz.

My 2kw one (the physically smaller one) had a .018ml pump but it wouldn't run on low and had hard starts. I put a .022 on and it works. Don't know if the pump that came with was bad or if it wasn't enough displacement. I ordered another 2kw one I'm going to try the pump that comes with it and see if it'll run it. I'm going to swap it out and take the heater apart and see if it carboned up with the bigger pump over the approx 100 hours it's ran. Still works fine
