My faithful Chinese Diesel Heater has kept me warm and hot on some extreme overland winter vanlife adventures in my self built campers. But it’s failing on me, the bearings are broken and loud, the exhaust has rusted. Time for a service, I strip down the heater and find it clean with no real soot in the burn chamber. I show how to replace the motor bearings with high quality Japanese ones and install a need style of heater exhaust muffler / silencer to make it more quiet. I replaced my original heater controller with a Afterburner.

The fuel pump and the fan motor wear out the quickest on all of my heaters. Make sure to have extra fuel atomizers on hand. I found fastest way to clean out blast tube from soot is to use propane torch to cook it out then compressed air to blow out .

The Z designation on the bearing means it has a metal shield holding the grease in. A ZZ bearing means it has those metal shields on both sides which is what you need on the heater. You also come across RS or 2RS bearings which means they have rubber shields instead of metal ones. They probably wouldn't stand the heat in this application.

i have roughly 14,000 hours on my chinese diesel heater. I've cleaned it out once. Bearings make a little noise when it's cold but once it warms up it's quiet. It's running great even right now. I have 3 spare fans i bought when i first got it and haven't used any of them yet. I have new 2 spare pumps I haven't used either of those yet. I got a couple glow plugs i haven't used. 1 Bag of 10 fuel atomizers I only used 1 when i cleaned it the first time. Best $150USD I ever spent and it runs almost 24/7 in the cold weather from about October till the end of April. I can get 10 of these for the price of one of name brands. I run mine at my Custom Low Setting of 2.5Hz, 2500 RPM, 1280 Feet Elevation, heat exchanger stays around 180-190C (356 - 374F) with outdoor temps at -4C ( 24F )

I run the planar 44d diesel heater as my main heat in my 32ft motorhome . I now have 5 years run time on it. I start it in the fall and it runs non stop till spring. So it's running 24/7 for 6 months non stop. And zero problems. I had webasto and eberspacher but always had a problem getting parts. Someone told me about the planar brand which were originally made for Russian military vehicles in antarctic. Sure you can buy 5 or 6 heaters made of Chineseium Scrap metal for the price of a planar. But I like doing a job once and being done. I am still running the original exhaust. Controller. Fuel pump and fuel line. I do remove my filter every year and blow it out as its a serviceable filter. I have found this heater to operate 75deg f running %15% used oil from my diesel Mercedes after it has sat for 6 months and filtered. I found the extra heat keeps the burn chamber from sooting. I also add a few oz of LIQUI MOLLY DIESEL ADDITIVE which seems to help with soot and keeping the glow screen clean. I also heated my 28ft cabin cruiser for 7 years with one of these heaters and heated my 42ft double cabin 2 bath hatteras classic yacht with the larger heater. Personally I love diesel heaters but with today's fuel prices at $5.85 a gallon This year I have used propane heat. What parts do you live and what are fuel cost there. Here in america creepy & crooked joe biden has made a real mess of our country. Under trump we were totally energy dependent and exporting reserves But biden destroyed that his first day in office.

@garyrussell5559 10 месяцев назад

Ive had one of these heaters in my Garage Office for about 9 years and it gets heavily used most days. Mine is a 24Volt version to match my Battery Bank and Im on my third glow plug which is the only problem I have experienced. The glow plugs are supposed to be a special 24 volt plug but I cant see any difference between the the 12 and 24 volt plugs so they may be pulling my leg on that one. Last time I pulled the heater apart I was expecting to see unimaginable filth as per some You tube videos but was quite surprised to see how clean it was. The last time I ordered a new glow plug I ordered 2 for another spare and it came with replacement gaskets. So should be good for another 9 years 🙂. To stop that annoying fuel pump tick I hang the pump on 2 strong cords stretched apart, rather than using the rubber mount provided. The tick then doesnt get amplified by the wall or frame that it would normally be mounted to. Significantly quieter.

@MispronouncedAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Indeed, the glow plugs are known as one of the more consumable parts in long-term use. I don’t know if there’s a difference between the 12 v and 24 V glow plugs. If there is I don’t imagine it would be visible, I would’ve thought it would be the winding of the coil inside of the glow plug itself which you can’t see would be different for each voltage. However, it might just be the same. Heaters set up well and used often are usually pretty clean inside. As for my pump it’s loosely mounted so I don’t hear the tick that much inside the van.

@escapetherace1943 8 месяцев назад

@oliver90owner Год назад

I actually enjoyed your video. Factual and no ridiculous claims made. Many others, out there, just don’t know how these things work - like claiming the 8kW output, which cannot exist in this range of heaters. Your extra bends and length of the exhaust may make a difference to the operation - a carbon monoxide tester would help but we do not know how it was coping before. A couple thousand hours from chinesium bearings is likely good. You noted the armature had been balanced - but then they may have added poorly balanced fans on the shaft. Some better(?) fans may have extra weights attached to improve fan balance. With regard to the bearing fitment, one bearing should be press fit in its housing and the other needs to be a sliding fit to accommodate expansion between the bearings (fixed bearings would wear prematurely as they would have no end-float and thus load the bearings, axially as the temperature varied. Running on heating oil (28 seconds Redwood kerosene) seems to be an acceptable alternative to diesel (the fuel the machine is designed for). The calorific value of the kero is a little lower than that of diesel, thus producing a slightly leaner burn. This may help where excessive bends and/or extra length of ducting is introduced. That grade of kerosene seems to have adequate lubrication to protect the pump from early failure. The Eberspacher installation details, for their heaters, provide details of cross-section increases required - to maintain the gas flows within specification tolerances. Well worth checking out, if non-standard ducting/pipework is used. Good luck with continued reliability of your heater. Do note that the afterburner is only compatible with some motherboards - not the latest cheaper issue, which does not have any facility for altering the fuel:air ratio. Keep up the good work!

After seeing several videos about this kind of heater including this one I've been thinking about getting one of these heaters . The lack of build up is pretty impressive. I just wish they came in bigger sizes or had a higher BTU output. I have a large shop and heating it with propane has gotten really spendy as of late . I definitely like the flexibility of being able to use other fuels besides diesel .I've seen videos where people are using waste oil and other kinds of oil and this thing just keeps chugging along . Seems pretty impressive for the money plus it's possible to rebuild it ?

Heating water via exhaust heat / on the exhaust pipes isn’t practical in a van. You need to make holes to get water pipes out of the van into the heat exchanger on the exhaust pipe, and then back in again. In winter, if the heater was ever turned off, it would be susceptible to freezing the water which is still in the pipes and damaging it. I use a bobil vans hot water system, which is a heat exchanger based inside the van on the hot air ducting

People saying to keep a spare bottle of RTV are right, it CAN be handy. But RTV often fails more times than it actually works.

They last forever if kept somewhere damp and not in direct sun light, and you will NEVER have to buy a new gasket ever again. Buy them in various thicknesses and compounds, store em and use em when needed. I then use the RTV ontop of these gaskets just to make it seal even more.

@cheetor5923 Год назад

I did a curious test on one of these little guys as they do seem to not burn all that efficiently. Probably due to the low pressure in the combustion chamber. So, I got a small catalytic converter and got it welded up right against the exhaust(they need to be HOT to work). It didn't do much at high power settings.. But at lower powers the exhaust after the cat was 120-170c hotter meaning there was a lot of unburnt fuel (and still enough oxygen) in the exhaust to burn in the cat. Being ever the curious engineer I wondered how much of that heat I could scavenge. I got a guy at work to weld up a counterflow water chiller for the exhaust, added a high temperature pump and a large computer water-cooling radiator to it. Turns out we could scavenge almost one extra kilowatt from this setup. It was fun as a experiment, but not very practical. Pros!... Free extra heat!... Cons... cooling the exhaust caused water to condense and the exhaust pipe would constantly gum up with this sticky tar like goop every 50 hours or so. Other con, If you had to pay somebody for all the man hours and materials, it'd cost more than the heater itself by multiples. In conclusion it was a fun experiment, but really not all that practical. It also had a tendency to boil the cooling water and blow pipes off on hotter days :P

A different point point of view would be to just replace the heater with a new one. I can appreciate the effort that you went through to replace the bearings and the exhaust parts. I just paid $128 USD delivered for a VEVOR 8KW self contained unit. 2000 hours would be 0.064 USD per hour machine time not counting fuel. The one like yours, 5KW, and without the housing, are cheaper. If you spent a couple of hours actually replacing the bearings and finding the gasket you have $40-60 into the actual repair, I am assuming that the bearings were about $10 each, plus whatever it cost you to get the new exhaust pipe and muffler. The time for repair you could say was free, on the other hand you could have been doing something else maybe more profitable and avoided the risk of breaking something more costly. You still haven't replaced the fuel pump and your motor armature is worn along with the brushes. The labor to remove and replace (r&r) the unit would be the same new or replacing your old unit. If you factor in the possibility that the motor will fail in less than 2000 more hours with additional r&r time and parts, replacing with a new one might be more cost effective and trouble free(er).
