Hi David, are these heaters suitable for using on their side so the exhaust and air intake can be routed out horizontally or will it affect it's running? Also, what are your thoughts on only having the exhaust routed to the outside and the air intake on the inside? I'm sure that heating efficiency would be better for my van if I wasn't sucking all the nice warm air in and then blowing it outside, but I'm considering it due to installation reasons, as I don't really want to cut a hole in the floor of my van.
@billray17855 жыл бұрын
Paul Bourne, they should be mounted so that the glow plug is not immersed in the fuel, so the glow plug should be on top, not sure if the side mounted would work as it should. Also the air intake is for the combustion not for hot air movement so this needs to come from the outside. The fan moves the internal air from one end over the fins/engine to heat the air and out the other end.

Hi, first off all, thanks for your great and interesting wideos. My question is do you know how much heat that inner fan can handle? My plans is to make an heat exchange for exhaust pipe and intake pipe to feed in the extra heat in the intake off the heater. I don't care too much about the efficiency even if it should be better, my theory is that the heater wuld maybe be more stable with minimum power and it wuld be possible to run it with ewen lower power output. My current setup is with a webasto airtop 2000, that I bought second hand a couple of years ago and now it started to show symptoms off leaking exhaust in the van. My setup is a vito with good insulation and ewen when it's really cold outside, the webasto gives a way too much heat. When the webasto is ramping down to the minimum setting it should give something like 900w output and runs about 50% off the time when it's 0c outside. so it's all the time turning oon and after a while turns back oon... I ordered a couple off 2kw diesel heaters from two different places to get one as fast as possible and also to have one backup in case one gives up shortly or if I just manage to break one by tuning mistake. All the best and keep up the great work 👍

I've tried all manner of tests. air intake strainer on /off. Fuel pump sitting right in a cup of diesel..K1 kerosene...a few tiny bubbles from the outlet of the pump but not many. A little white smoke at start but then it clears and burns. Glow plug goes off. Runs up normally for the green and yellow heat output bars but never hits red. Switches off reliably at 8 minutes regardless of pump Hz setting. It is a side exhaust mount with the glow plug up if that matters. Seems others have had that work....Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

Housing temperature sensor? The white ceramic bit on top of the heater. The inside portion can become detached and it is then no longer in contact with the housing and it reports a much lower temperature to the ECU. It might be seeing that as a failure to light, or a flame out and stops running.

@@DavidMcLuckie Well, either I'm really deficient in my setup or I just got a second bad heater from the same vendor. I did check the temp sensor in the first unit and it has no visible or installation defects. Second heater just fails to ignite, E10 error. The bench test setup has the fuel pump unmounted and eventually just sitting suction end in a jar of fresh K1 Kerosene. Maybe the fuel stream is weak without the pump body held firmly? Fuel is certainly being delivered. Even swapping brains out to the old heater didn't get either to fire. Going to return both of these and maybe try one from Maxpeedrods.
@christophermelo7889 Жыл бұрын
@@DavidMcLuckie Well, first my apologies for not watching your old videos more carefully and realizing the fuel pump will work just fine sitting loose. The second heater, which never once got into a full burn without an E10 error shutoff, donated a temp sensor to the first heater today and did manage to keep it going for 30 and then 60 minutes, albeit at a low temperature in spite of the max pump speed. 2 blue and 2 yellow bars followed after a time by reducing on its own to just 2 blue bars. Air in at about 46F and out at about 90F. All the while the pump was ticking away at its max 3.6Hz setting. Finally after the 30 or 60 minute mark it just said good night and shut off with an E8 error even though the fuel supply remained good. I'm thinking both of these came out of a batch that was either very poorly tuned or has some deformity in the combustion chamber. If the vendor doesn't want them back I'll bust in there and report back. Otherwise I'll take my refund to Mr. Maxpeedrod who seems to have good feedback.

A word of warning if you are thinking of buying the 8Kw version don't. Another youtuber tested one and they are 5Kw heaters being sold as 8Kw heaters, all he got at maximum was 5.26Kw. If you're curious here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqiXc52ZidOpsKc

I don't put much trust in any of those numbers. But there is a physical size difference between the two sizes of heater I have. For the larger I have seen it advertised as 5, 8, 10 and 12kw.

Chinese heater, Chinese bearings. I reckon if you changed the bearings it would be quieter. ;)

If you can find a 2 wire brushless motor of the same dimensions then it should be possible.

looking around I found on Amazon a replacement fan motor for the ESPAR heater. It might be a suitable replacement for that noisy dc motor www.amazon.com/Eberspacher-Combustion-Blower-Airtronic-Replacement/dp/B073W6XX95
