Good job! Make sure that you insolate the pipe where the heats going thru to gain more heat and less losses.

[@billienomates1606]

I fitted one to the outside of my house in an enclosure last winter. Insulated the hot air pipe into the house with layers of cooking foil and wire straps, many layers. Took a double glazed window out and replaced it with marine ply then drilled holes through for the heater pipe to the house and cold air intake from the inside of the house to the heater unit. All runs from a. Ecoflow delta max via a 12 volt transformer. Kept the upstair of the house around 14C in the evening, rather that the 7 or 8 C it was at before switching on the heater. Sad times we have to resort to this considering the staggering ptofit the producers, government and suppliers are making. Just to force us not to use our gas boilers, absolutely disgusting. Time for a REVOLUTION people. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY.

[@romeopyardega9639]

I've installed a diesel engine with all the coolant systems connected to the nearby radiators. I've used an oil cooler to further heat another nearby radiator. I've even connected the air-conditioning system that can cool an average room within an hour from 30c to 19c. The exhaust heat is used to heat water in a storage tank. This is further heated by three solar panels offering me 300 watts of output plus another 100 watts from a wind turbine connected to the generator/alternator. I've boxed the engine into a fully insulated enclosure. I was spending around £25 a day before, and now it's around £5. I use other automated features of start stop when I'm generating power for free. The total setup cost was around £500. I used VW parts and Toyota parts. I'm looking into how I can make a bigger version of a lambda sensor to generate electricity like the Egyptians did thousands of years ago.

Keep the unit in the house, run the exhaust into a oil cooler rad and use the 12v power supply to run fans to blow the warm air , obviously reroute the bad exhaust fumes back out the property as initially intended.

However careful you are, there's always drips going somewhere, so in the house is a non starter. If it fails spectacularly as a lot are expecting these Chinese heaters to, outside the house is also safer place. The only disadvantage is it will have to work harder because it will be drawing in cold Air all the time. Apologies for any typos, I'm in the pub. I have an '8kw' (doubtful it's that much, but it does get hot!) The garage is warm all day, and once paired to remote, & turned down to minimum, it uses about 1 - 1.5 litres a day. Far cheaper than conventional heating under current rip off charges. I run mine on Kerosene (paraffin) It draws only 10w on minimum and only about 30-40w on full chat (I can't remember which) up to about 150w starting up, heating the glow plug.

You are loosing quite a bit of heat by having it on the outside mate . A better setup is with the unit inside and a much longer exhaust . The reason being that the unit itself will radiate heat (which you are now losing) and the same goes for the exhaust . A much longer exhaust means that you will have a very hot pipe in your house ,basically a radiator and you will need to shield that somehow so that no one gets burned by it .

Hi Excellent short! I also tried this on my workshop and pretty much mimicked what you did in your post. All the comments are solid, but if I could add abit more? I think my unit is the same manufacturer wise but a different name, so the combustion air goes in through the small tube and exits as exhaust through the steel pipe, the hot air going to the house, through the outlet, should be returned to the inlet of the heater. That’ll make a massive difference to the fuel usage because the room stat will come up to temp quicker The combustion and heating air can’t mix due to the internal heat exchanger. The sparks that wired it up went spare when he saw it was outside because (my one at least) wasn’t IP rated - so maybe a waterproof box outside to protect? My only strong feelings are towards the fuel comments pure paraffin (lamp oil) and 28sec Kero work really well, as in never fails to light, gets really hot. 35sec and any recovered oil made it run like a bag of spanners after 3 to 4 weeks without fail. The other thing i found is that the outlet pipe if split, each feed must be the same length resistance wise - loads out of the short run nothing out of the longer one, also because the outlet pipe is a small diameter I can get air flow to about 3 meters but anything longer made it over heat after about and hours running - maybe too much resistance on the fan so not getting the heat away quick enough? Persevere though, nothings perfect but it’s better (cheaper) than any of the alternatives and the tinkering is best part I reckon. The dogs a fan of it for sure, drags it’s bed in the workshop and lays right in front of the outlet.

At this moment it's running on setting 2 out of 6 (max) with an outside temperature of 3 degrees Celsius. Inside temperature is 20 degrees now. I believe setting 2 is about 2 kW power output. Fuel efficiency is great. On the current setting it's using 190 ml/hr. So, we use 1 litre of diesel in about 5 hours. Currently one liter of diesel costs €1,75. Heating my house with LNG costs €3 for a m3. Five hours of heating would cost me 5 m3 of LNG. So, make our calculations about this 😉

[@96tcoleman]

If you can get your hands on some kerosene you’ll make that even cheaper, it’s around £1 a litre where I am 😉

[@ronaldpoldervaart8711]

We do have kerosine (petroleum) but it's more expensive than diesel. Petroleum costs about €2,09 a liter. I've seen reviews that did mention that petroleum or kerosine gives less lubrication to the oilpump. Therefore it's wearing faster since the pumpvalve consists out of a metal on metal surface, whitout any lubrification other than the fuel that is pumped through the valve.

[@96tcoleman]

@@ronaldpoldervaart8711 yeah I’ve heard that too but apparently it’s just a myth, I know people that have ran 3500 hours+ on pure kero with no problems 👍🏼

​@@ronaldpoldervaart8711 petroleum is not kerosene, diesel is kerosene. Home heating oil is kerosene, so if you can find an oil depot for that you can usually buy it from them in 20L drums, and it's currently less than £1 a litre where I am. It will also run on waste aviation fuel if you have an airport near y, we dump tons of the stuff for various reasons and it works fine in your home heating system. If you get heating oil from somewhere you can also buy additives for it to help with lubricity, for example a product called Exocet.

[@chineseful]

Lovely bit of kit

[@seeker1432]

I've built a box. But left the bottom open, But got a shelf. Now I'm concerned the diesel will freeze from beneath. Close but i need more thought into it.

[@96tcoleman]

Mix it with kerosene if your worried, I run straight kero on mine 👍🏼

[@aaronsearch1189]

Insulate the output hose and pull the air inlet from inside the house.

[@96tcoleman]

Not worth drilling a hole for how cheap they are to run 👍🏼

[@ctrldelete1763]

How are you powering it? and can I use 240v plug to 12v adapter or do I need a better amperage?

[@96tcoleman]

Yes I’m using a 240v to 12v adapter, it needs to be 12.5a or higher, most people go for a 20a to be safe 👍🏼

Raise the machime higher and point exhaust down your set up will cause acidic condensation build up in your exhast

[@SuperGligorije]

how about running exhaust in the house, thru some kind of heat exchanger and back again when it's cold.. and taking intake air from inside of the house.. i guess you can improve efficiency massively if you run 250°C hot exhaust through some old cast iron radiator in the house..

[@96tcoleman]

Yes you can get egr kits for them I believe, but for what I’m using it for and the cheap fuel I’m not too bothered mate 👍🏼

[@cagedaf8806]

How about running a duct in and tie into the ducts of the home do it runs thru the whole house

[@Seaforth]

The exhaust pipe heats to about 300-400, can be used to boil the water or conected to radiators to keep that warm

[@wilks78pw]

Put the unit inside and just run the exhaust outside the house through tht hole in wall this way is counterproductive.

[@96tcoleman]

Too noisy mate

[@brarautorepairs]

Doesn't the heat coming out of the heater exceed 80 degrees Celsius? I mean you can't really put anything in front of the vent

Haven’t got a clue bud, I know my front rooms nice and toasty 👍🏼

[@Andy-df5fj]

With the cost of diesel fuel, this doesn't seem like it would be very economical for heating a house.

Kerosene is around £1 a litre and the heater will run for around 7 hours on a litre so you do the maths 👍🏼

It's way more effective, to put the heater inside the house, not pushing air inside, but warming up the air from inside. Just let the exhaust blasting to the outside.

I have it boxed in now, it’s in a lockable outdoor storage box and running great 👍🏼 I’m not to fussed about the larger tanks, I only fill it up twice a week anyway

How long can you run it for? Do you leave it out in the snow and rain?

24/7 if you want, it’s all boxed in now so it stays outside but I wouldn’t leave the unit out in rain
