I got a great idea from watching this... diesel heater backpack inside the suit with the intake puling air from outside. Maybe for the wheelbarrow, use the exhaust to heat water that you can circulate through the handles of the wheelbarrow to keep your hands warm. Great video and keep your stick on the ice.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Oooooh. I like this ! The original idea was to make a backpack heater, a few of my patreon members suggested this as well... but I never thought of having it in the suit ... Now... the reason it hasn't happened yet is the whole 200C (or more) exhaust pipe.... but I may figure that out.

I want to thank you..after watching your videos it became obvious that these heaters have a very narrow sweet spot..and the balance of air .heat and fuel.is a delicate one..by suttle changes in choking the air intake to the chamber and watching the actions of the temperature I quickly overcame the problem of flame out that I was having..

[@loweredexpectations4927]

I'm glad something I did helped ! Thanks for letting me know. I will say that if you are having issues like that, you may have an issue with a blockage in your burn chamber. When I had issues where I had to choke my heater, the end result was almost always that I found a build up of carbon in the chamber. If your heater is tuned and set up properly, it should run well without any of this fussing. Cheers.

This has inspired me to build a diesel heater into a roof top cargo carrier for my car. I've had the idea for a couple of years and have been buying odds and ends I think I need to do it, but it's just getting started is the hard part for me. The concept was for heat in the car for winter car camping, or heating an ice fishing tent, or maybe the garage. But I really like the heater hose in a big inflatable suit, might be easier than setting up an ice fishing tent. It got down to -36C last week for me and I got a warning about a possible rolling black out due to the cold increasing power demand on the utilities, so I need to look into alternate ways to heat the home in case of emergencies

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Hey.... I'm totally with you on the "hard to get started" thing.... I have that happen to me all the time. I can always come up with a better or different way, or some issue that I'm unsure of how I will deal with it. This suit doesn't heat your hands, feet or face very well... though you could customize or have one made that worked better for that. I think I would choose the tent idea, as that way you can recirculate the air. The suit uses the air to stay inflated, so you have to force air in and can't suck it out.... It has no problem staying warm at -20 ish.... but at -30 all of a soulden you are on setting 10 instead of setting 1 or 2. If you could make something that was portable between your roof carrier and hour house / garage, that would be great.

[@lemonherb1]

@@loweredexpectations4927 I would be running a hose from the roof carrier to the window of the car where I'd probably have some kind of panel to allow for in input and output hose. In the garage, I'd just let it run in the garage. Not sure how I'd deal with the exhaust though. The garage is attached, so I could run the heated hose into the basement. Either that, or I could try to run a separate unit on the outside like yours. My basement isn't finished, but there is a duct for a future bathroom fan. I could run the heated hose from the diesel heater into the house through there, and maybe a power line as well so I could keep the battery inside or use a 12V power supply. I don't know how I'd recirculate if I did it this way though

@@lemonherb1 It can sometimes be the "small details" that turn out not to be small at all. I was considering running my heater in my basement with the exhaust out my hot water tank vent ...

Can you do an experiment to try and design a way to make a diesel heater use less fuel by way of an injection system of some sort.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Technically you could do something like this... but it is much harder than it may first seem. The biggest issue is the extremely small volume of fuel that these burn. On a larger heater this would be pretty easy to control, and this sort of how torpedo heaters work. These heaters take 1000 pulses of the pump to burn 22ml of diesel. That is about two tablespoons. When you break it down, the level of precision that you would need to control flow would be pretty crazy ... This is precisely why they use what they call a "dosing" pump. So while it could be done, it would mean running a high pressure pump, an very small and accurate injector with a much more sophisticated control system. In the end diesel has X amount of energy per litre and these heaters are already VERY good at getting that energy out. The best thing you can do for efficiency, is to put a heat exchanger on the exhaust and scavenge all of your lost heat. I will be experimenting with this soon.

[@werner.x]

Don't underestimate the amount of power, the pump would consume. You want to be able to run such a heater off the power grid, i assume

I suppose the next logical step would be to see if it's possible to package the heater, a battery, and a fuel tank into some sort of hard shell backpack.

@@loweredexpectations4927 That's just made me think what you REALLY should be doing is running the exhaust through a water to air intercooler, sewing a significant amount of 6ish mm id surgical bungee hose all over a set of overalls and plumbed to a couple of water manifolds, putting this outfit on under your cold weather gear, then pumping the hot water around the hoses. I'm not sure how you could regulate the temperature though. Maybe having a split loop running to something like an old car heater matrix out in the cold, then you could adjust how much water goes through that to lose heat or bypasses it to remain hot? This is just sounding stupid now. I'm just trying to guesstimate how much hose that would need for decent coverage, how much water that much hose, an intercooler, and a heater matrix would hold, and how much that amount of water would weigh.........

I want to see if you can run two heater's with one full pump

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Hmmmm ... I suppose this would be possible. You would either have to make sure that each line was the same length and the heaters were at the same height, or one heater wouldn't get enough fuel. You would of course, have to increase the fuel output by increasing HZ... Some ECUs / motherboards are able to pump at 8hz, so that would be plenty for two heaters under normal operation. Cool idea.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

It is very warm... I will be showing some tests where I check temp and fumes... but it's over 20C .... The suit has zero insulation value, so sitting on something cold makes that part of your body cold ...

[@Shakey31]

Been following you since you started. I've been using straight diesel, however, what ratio of diesel to used oil or vegetable oil have you found where it runs fine but doesn't get cruddy that requires cleaning all the time? Thanks for your videos!

[@loweredexpectations4927]

I personally have not found a ratio that works. The least I have tried is 30% waste to 70% diesel. I have heard all sorts of claims that this works, but I have never had success. from talking to a LOT of smart people, heavy oils (less refined oils / non fuel oil) is always going to leave ash behind. If you burn 5-10% it is possible that some of this ash will remain airborne and exit the exhaust, but I have my doubts.

[@Shakey31]

@@loweredexpectations4927 thanks a lot. I'll keep it straight until you find the magic mixture 👍

[@werner.x]

@@Shakey31 Better so. Your heater otherwise will fail whenever you need it most. But you know, if you can have a real chimney of some sort, you can easily build a waste oil burner of a design with easily removable bottom pan, where the gassification happens and the crud builds up. Clean that pan every morning, put it back in and you'll have free heat for the whole day - as long as your waste oil lasts.

[@tcmtech7515]

There is no magic ratio. I work with used oils of all types and have been burning them for years and they are varied in design it's impossible to say what is good or not. Some oils are thick and heavy but high purity and burn quite clean, while others are not and burn badly no matter what you do to them. Same with thin ones. Some hydraulic and transmission fluids burn like clean fuel on their own, but others have additives of who knows what type that makes for all sorts of strange sooting and clogging problems.
