How much ELECTRICITY does Hcalory Diesel heater use?

In this video, I’m showcasing the Hcalory Diesel Heater, demonstrating its impressive efficiency. I’ll walk you through how much electricity it consumes on both high and low heat settings, as well as the temperature of the air it produces at each setting. This 8kW all-in-one toolbox 2 heater is perfect for a variety of uses, including in RVs, trucks, campers, tents, or even small garages. With its outstanding energy efficiency and powerful performance, the Hcalory Diesel Heater is an excellent choice for staying warm in any environment.

[@michaelhegarty730]

tk you for your video . what i draw your attention to is the green fuel hose that are fitted to the units . a lot of people switch this out with a much stronger fuel hose . also a lad on youtube called " AndyFireblade " also does very good youtube videos on these heaters . we all learn from each other .

Im in the Uk, got 4 kids need to live on a budget, I have 2, one in the dining room which the missus drys the clothes in and then another into my sitting room. I use Red Diesel, turned off all the radiators downstairs. I’m saving money this way. Plus it’s heats a room pretty quick. This unit the guy is describing is called the Kroak toolbox 2 exactly the same unit.

[@KarrierBag]

Good review / video, to the point and no flapping around, nice one 🙂 * I Have have been running tests on my 2kwh heater on my live on boat which (not a metal canal boat but a fiberglass / wooden 60 year old beauty, a Colvic Northerner and only 30ft L x 8.5ft W ) I can keep at around 22 deg to 24 deg and heater uses around 2 to 2.5 litres over 24 hours. We have cheaper boat diesel than from the garage pump, it is dyed red and VAT exempt. Compared to my old 230v oil heaters I save when very cold up to £5 to £7 daily and only now use between 4 and 6 kwh in electrics now for small fridge, laptop, rather than 20kwh to 24kwh of costs at .35p a unit. so now around £1.40 for 24 hours on electrics and £2 on 24 hours heating. my fuel tank holds 5 litres, our gallons are equal to 4.5 litres and US gallons are smaller (don't know why? have never googled that) I do have 300w solar for 3w / 5w lights / usb / 12v for diesel heater with 230v 5amp charger used for start up and when no sun so no solar. *All figures are approx.

[@DIYJIM]

Sounds like you have a nice set up. Thanks for watching.

[@stephanematis]

Canadian here and this might be a backup heating unit as long as I can store enough electric power to match it. It is a bit of conundrum, my home has natural gas heating, but the furnace needs so much electrical power for the burner, the fan and the controller that providing backup power for that isn't obvious. This could be just the 1-2-3 day backup so the house remains above freezing.

How are you powering them via electric? do you have a 12v converter plugged into wall for each diesel heater? Great video!

[@DIYJIM]

The heater comes with plug for 220 or 12volt. Awesome little heater. The smaller one I have a 12v converter.

[@Campfirepiston]

Jim thank you from Oklahoma

[@DIYJIM]

You are very welcome

[@dynamicenergysolutions180]

Great video, sorry you cut your thumb. I would believe the power use being very low, that’s why so many people love them for off grid use, they sip electricity except when starting or shutting down. When using the infrared temperature sensors, make sure you don’t point to a reflective surface, it gives strange readings. Spray a dark area on the exhaust pipe with some high temperature paint, then point your ir gun there to measure, your readings will be more accurate. Looking forward to your fuel tests.

[@DIYJIM]

I thought that when I was taking temperature readings. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching

[@torresharbin]

I want to get this heater but idk if my ecoflow river pro will handle it? Any idea?

[@DIYJIM]

Not sure but I would guess yes. Maybe I will try running it on my Bluetti

[@mikelanglois4737]

Bought a Hcalory TB2. Unfortunately my Toptes 580 carbon monoxide detector is showing the fresh air duct (positioned 16ft away from the heater) is producing 6 to 10 PPM which is concerning. Darn I was hoping to see 0. Not sure if I trust it. Thoughts? Thanks

[@DIYJIM]

There are many videos of people talking apart. Maybe you could check to see if something is a little loose. Those readings are not real bad. Does it get better if it burns a little?

[@mikelanglois4737]

@@DIYJIM no, I let the heater run for about an hour with it mostly hovering around 8. I will check it to make sure nothing is loose, however it is brand new. Going to run it with my RTT today to see what the reading is inside the tent I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for your response.

From n.e pa.also....great video! I want to mount in box of utv in shelter of some sort to keep snow and rain off,,,I want drill a hole in box and plumb exhaust under machine , before rear window ,machine exhaust would circle up in cab,now I get none inside,,,but with fresh air intake to heater,should I make that like a cold air return from cab so no chance of exhaust getting tucked in?

[@DIYJIM]

there are two intakes one intake for the burn chamber and it really would not hurt if a little exhaust got sucked in that one because it goes back out the exhaust. The other intake is for the air that gets distributed in the room. Hope this helps

Carbon Monoxide detector amzn.to/4fpR0xM

[@chriscampbell1456]

I live in central northwest Pennsylvania, south of Bradford. It's been getting down to -6°F the last 3 nights. Do you think one of those diesel heaters, maybe even 2 of them, could heat my woodshop? It's 20' x 24' or about 480 sq. ft.. uninsulated and built in the 1940's. My ancient (early 1980's) pellet stove is failing and I'm looking for a replacement and the compact size of these would be great since my shop is already crowded with large machines like, 52" cabinet table saw, planer, jointer, router table, miter station, and cyclone dust collector. If I could eliminate the wasted corner caused by my pellet stove that would be awesome. Oh, and I say heat it I mean heat it to like 68-72°. I like working in a T-shirt because wearing bulky clothes around machines the can remove fingers, arms, etc. in the flash of a second is just unsettling to me. Thanks. Great videos.

[@DIYJIM]

I would say yes for sure if it was insulated. My garage is insulated very good.

[@sixpicker82]

I just ordered one should be here on Black Friday hopefully! I’m concerned about the fuel tank being on top of the heater. Anyway, you can check that temperature? And is there a plate separating them? It looks like? UPDATE: There definitely is a plate separating the fuel tank and heater. This thing is awesome so far. Dry warm heat. I’m working on a trailer in 10 degrees F weather and it can keep my half insulated (so far) 6x14 enclosed trailer above 70 F and condensation free. At level 3 it was maintaining 63 F . The lid has no gasket. Diesel leaks a bit around the lid with transport.

[@DIYJimreviews]

there should be a plate separating them

[@jonnywalker2238]

What's about the clicking noise? Can you hear it in every gear from 1-10?

[@DIYJIM]

Yep I can

[@ThanksForTheLaugh]

What brilliant designer thought having exhaust and heater output on same side? Makes its a no go for me.

[@DIYJIM]

I agree, but theses heaters are not normally set up the way I set it up. Thanks for watching

[@socom2173]

This unit will run just over 50:02 hours on a full tank, on low setting. And 16:40 on highest setting. Sherburn Outdoors already did a test video.

[@jonnywalker2238]

@@JohnWhite-Iowa-City how long does your heater run?

[@JohnWhite-Iowa-City]

@jonnywalker2238 it really depends on how you run it. Real life running my times have been, just over 24 hours on 3-4 mostly 3, as little as 12 hours on high and over 40 on 1. I really love this little heater.

Hang a black piece of metal in the hot air exhaust, the ir won't read properly on bare aluminum, measure the temperature of the black metal in the heat side pipe 👍
