Lidl sells the CO detectors for 9.99EUR, with all the german TUV certifications! (I think in this situation a CO detector is more important than a CO2 detector that you bought... CO will kill you long before the CO2 reaches dangerous levels!)

@jovangrbic97 8 месяцев назад

Oh, and the amp clamp you used only measures AC amps, you would need a slightly more 'expensive' one with a 'zero' button that can measure DC amps... The value you measured is meaningless sadly... just FYI :)

The nice thing about the battery is that the power can be out in the shop and still be heating.

@White000Crow 7 месяцев назад

Losing power when this is running isn’t great for the heater.

@fitybux4664 6 месяцев назад

@@White000Crow he meant you can lose utility power, not battery power. It needs battery power to run the fan. 10 to 40 watts for the fan to go. 135 watts or so for some minutes to warm up. At 12 volts.

@White000Crow 6 месяцев назад

@@fitybux4664 I ran one off a power supply and after about 6 power outages it’s no longer running. I’m now on battery backup and the heater has been flawless. After doing some research I’m certain my atomizer screen is gummed up and that’s why it will no longer start.

@fitybux4664 6 месяцев назад

@@White000Crow that sounds probable, yes. Time to tear it down and repair if you're into that. Otherwise, they're around $100 and might just be simpler to replace. Definitely run it off a battery, definitely let it do the cooldown cycle. In some cases, it is possible to clean the heater without disassembly, by running the heater on high using Kerosene instead of Diesel fuel.

@White000Crow 6 месяцев назад

@@fitybux4664 I have 5 of these heaters already. I’m keeping the clogged one for spare part since the new unit I put in has a different controller. I have 2 of these new units so I can swap them out quickly and repair the unit that’s down. I just rebuilt one because the bearings in the motor were full of dust and failing. New rubber sealed bearing should last longer and I added a little more grease to them just in case.

Good luck that it warms it good up! One idea: Use a amperemeter to measure the maximum current. Then buy a 12v power supply with that current. Or use a old computer power supply.

Fantastic Ants, now you have decent shop heating. I prefer a woodstove over a diesel heater. But woodstoves need a certain setup and they are a hazard that needs constant attention. So in your setup a Diesel heater is better. Also having a diesel heather is very good to heat up tractors crank case and gear oil, when it's super cold outside.

@Ants_Pants 8 месяцев назад

This is short term. I will go firewood eventually

@TheHomePros6221 8 месяцев назад

Hey buddy! Vevor sent me one of these as well but mine has the one with the external fuel tank and pump. A few tips: one I would put a long pipe on the exhaust like you did on the intake and just the radiant heat from that will help warm the shop. Two I would just get one of those small cheap battery maintainers and hook it to the battery to keep it charged all the time. I noticed your fuel pump makes a loud noise on yours, mine is pretty quiet so maybe check yours and make sure there isn’t any air in it or somthing isn’t loose. Man your shop sure has came along way I wish I had one that awesome!!

Feel like I was stuck in a hole this week. I tune in on Friday to my favourite You Tuber only to find that I missed a mid week release….what a bonus! Great to see your fabrication upgrades and finally some heat for your shop. I must admit I’m cold watching you work in your shop during the winter. The heater seems to put out a decent amount of heat for such a little box. A small fan on low will distribute that heat around your shop nicely. You don’t need your shop 22 C, just 15 C would be very comfortable in your work clothes. I look forward to seeing how your heater works @ -20 C…..normal Canadian winter temperatures.

I have one of these in my workshop also. I used to run mine on regular diesel which was really expensive. Then I did some research and found that you can run it on Kerosene which is half the price. It works fantastically well unless you run it flat out for hours and it does seem to drink a lot of fuel. on anything 2.5khz and down it just sips fuel slowly.

@YerBrwnDogAteMyRabit 8 месяцев назад

Home heating oil is the same as diesel, minus the dye and taxes. There are places (my local gas station in my case) that sell HHO by the gallon, and I was getting it for less than half the cost of diesel. During a warm winter, it was $1.79 / gal. Fill up two 5 gallon jugs and it lasts quite a while. A friend of mine was further stretching this with waste motor oil, which I think had to be (or should be) filtered first. I think it was a 50/50 mix, but I know he was getting away with 75/25 waste oil to hho/diesel. Might be worth looking into. It will be a bit stinkier than kerosene. The super clean kerosene that comes in gallons from Home Depot and Lowes goes on clearance at the end of the season too, so keep an eye out. I think it was $9.98 a gallon originally, but I got 21 gallons for $1.98 each like 2 years ago.

To get better heating in other parts of the shop try a normal fan to circulate the air a bit. Also if you run a steel exhaust pipe to the same place as the intake you will get some extra heat from the steel pipe. Only problem you might have with extending the exhaust pipe is that extra back pressure might effect the burner but it should have something in the manual.

Things were different in the olden days around here. It's the stones man. They are everywhere around here. Mainly on the fields you want to plant stuff. So, you collect them in one pile. At least the ones you are able to move (horse power back in those days). Than winter comes and cold makes the stones in the ground to rise over time. Picking stones every last season. This begins with the first dude who wants to make a field living in a shack thousand years ago up to today. And nobody is touching that pile for centuries because they are next to every farming field in the area. They have no value. Than some new folk come and want to build a new house. A stone house. Oh, what's that sitting in the middle of the plot? A big pile of boulders. There is no need to build this thick. But there's a pile of stones and you want to make it dissapear.

The air intake is for the combustion not for the fan, which is on the back. Putting all in a box should not be a good idea. Anyway, all the video was just a lot of fun. Very good. My ordered heater is on the way and arriving in a couple of days, now. I would like to set the heater out side. Let's see. Thanks for sharing you experience.😉
