My diesel heater consumed all of my oxygen!

DUDE!!! You need to eliminate the hard bend in the exhaust. That is choking the exhaust. it is also a low point where moisture and soot will accumulate, which will also choke the exhaust. As far as the heater using up all the oxygen in the room, that will only happen if the room is sealed.

@@gaminginmy60s the video doesn't do it justice. I saw that and looked back. It's not crushed.

@@gaminginmy60s thanks for watching.

@@MrRChitty Ok. But the pipe should not go up at all because of the moisture and the soot build up in the pipe.

[@MrRChitty]

@gaminginmy60s as long as the pipe stays very hot, the moisture will not collect inside. Unlike a gas appliance where the majority of the heat is used up due to extreme high efficiency, the water is allowed to condensate. I've been running this for weeks and hasn't been any issue with moisture buildup inside. I am aware of it and constantly monitor the situation and appreciate the feedback.

Shouldn't have the exhaust going down then up. it either should be pretty much horizontal or going downward. any bend like the one you have should be on the outside, and have a tiny hole drilled at the bottom of the bend to allow excess moisture to exit.

[@MrRChitty]

@@PrayTellGaming The exhaust pipe gets so hot it discolors the metal. Water will not collect or stay in there at those temperatures. Unlike a high efficiency gas fired boiler, the exhaust temperatures are low and gives the potential to collect inside. Tomorrow, I'll sprinkle droplets of water on the exterior of the pipe. If it steams, that will prove that water will not collect in the pipe.

Thanks for the video. I think for most of the folks on those forums insisting if you don't use outside air you are using up the O2 in the room, they are just trying stir up controversy and have as many replies to their post as possible. As supplemental heat for a garage or shed - these work great. BTW - do you have the model for that tester? I'm looking for one that does O2 & CO

Dumb video and you are heating a garage that is not sealed like a house or other structures and you did not run the heater over many hours to test your theory. These heaters are not designed for indoor use but if you use one that way be smart enough to follow the manufacturers safety requirements and the exhaust and combustion intake goes outside. The reason for that is these units do not have an an Oxygen Depletion Sensor, they can backfeed smoke and CO if the power is cut off and you can pull in dust and other crap in to the burn chamber. Be smart and be safe!

@@solarcabin i read your forum post and is the reason I did this. My test was conducted several times and included a 72 hour period where we fried fish over the Christmas Eve holiday. You don't use any meters to substantiate your claim. I did. You also called this unit a vent free heater and that is not the case. I'll give you the link for the comparison on what a vent free heater does and it's effect on the occupied space.

@@MrRChitty Your test is in an unsealed garage and you are incorrect and these units are designed for outside use and you are not following the manufacturers safety requirements. Your forum post was removed for spreading dangerous information.

@@solarcabin oh boy. You turned your commenting off on yours because you didn't like conversations disagreeing with your point of view.

[@solarcabin]

@@MrRChitty Lol, I turned off commenting because of trolls like you and my post is still in the forum for correct information. Your opinion and fake testing is dangerous misinformation and was removed.🤣
