This is a really long exhaust from my diesel heater. 5M LONG. free waste exhaust gases from this diesel heater. plinth skirting board radiator.
this is totally free heat, that would have just gone outside!
PUMPING HOT AIR INTO MY HOME
I bought one of these for my garage, and then thought....... I could heat my home with this! So that's exactly what i did! It is working great pumping hot air into my home. It is keeping us nice and warm and super economical.
I have a carbon monoxide detector just in case, but you don't get any fumes indoors at all
.
I hope this may help you in some way. Even if it just makes an idea pop up in your head, of how you can heat your home in cheaper way.
Thanks for looking at my videos cheers Andy..... If you can be anything, be Kind.....

whenever you lengthen or increase overall restriction of an exhaust system, you should increase the size of the pipe. The reason is you need the unit to be able to freely push at its design capacity.. if you start building back pressure it will effect operation. Gas furnaces have a pipe sizing chart we use to determine the pipe sizing. two things increase it, size of the unit and length or run (and number of elbows)

As a Eberspacher installer for 20 years, anything over 3 meters, you need to increase the diameter of the exhaust to 30mm. They make adapters to fit the exhaust on the bottom of the heater, they are 90 degree adapters, top tip look for the ones with the drain bolt

Pass it through an old radiator and put a fan behind it to recover the maximum heat or put the radiator over the fresh air intake to preheat the incoming air and increase the heater efficiency.

@filipporossifavilli68 10 месяцев назад

if you preheat incoming air you risk damaging the electronics which need to be cooled or if the electronics are elsewhere you risk blocking the heater X high temperature...efficiency does not increase because the ∆t is the same

i heat my shed with one of those, and been doing it for years. I bought another to heat my house. I ran the exhaust 8 m of 25mm to try to capture that heat. My machine ran for 2 days then failed to ignite. I took the unit apart and the combustion chamber was packed with carbon. Its back up and running with the stock exhaust.

@somedohavethem 7 месяцев назад

Hey Jason, probably discovered this already, but if the exhaust is to long like 2m or more you'll lose the back pressure needed to aid combustion, leading to non ignition or white smoke causing coking and exhaust blocking with fluid, mine actually blow the internal gasket causing fumes to leak and stink my house out.

Raise your heater up higher than the end of the exhaust so that condensation can run out and not settle in the lower parts of your exhaust and cause you blockage and then it won't start and run.I found that out the hard way. Just Raise your heater at least 1 inch or so above the end. 30 to 40 millimeters.

@eby6114 10 месяцев назад

@@BeyondWrittenWordsyou can. Just modify it so there's a place where water can be drained.you can run the pipe across and on an angle down to an intersect box with a drain. From the box go up and out. Check the box once a week, drain it, until you figure out the amount of condensation but it might vary depending on things like relative humidity. If your careful you could probably use a tin with a lid or something with a screw top might be safer. That all being said if the distance is very small and the exhaust remains above 220 I doubt you'd need a place for condensation as the the water will remain vapor

@MrSqueaky57 10 месяцев назад

Copper isn't used for exhaust pipes for several reason. Cost would be the main factor small bore pipes are relatively inexpensive however the larger the more expensive. As it is a smooth metal it helps keep the resonance level up thus making a louder sound say over mild steel, thus it used for the making of musical instruments. Copper gives off toxic fumes when heated high enough some lovely toxins can also be given off as well such at Arsenic Lead & Cadmium. We all know Arsenic is lethal. however Cadmium is a class 1 Human Carcinogen and has been banned from scientific research for years. A lethal dose is between 9 - 12 mg/m3.

100% positive here , that the actual heater itself must be raised up so as to create a downward flow of exhaust gasses and thus a run out of condensation as well . I am in Canada where the temp. drops to as low as - 54 degrees C ... often - 25 to -35 C for weeks in a row . I run my generator / my wood stoves / and soon to be 2 of these wonderful heaters into sealed 45 gallon drums and then exhaust the waste gasses , as this creates a heat exchanger system , but " Please make Sure" , the exhaust areas are extremely well sealed ... the barrels are extremely well sealed ... the process is to exhaust enter into the top of a barrel or 2 stacked and let the heat and exhaust fill up the barrel(s) , then at 1/3 of the way from the bottom of the barrel , you create the new exhaust port to an outside location ... been 100% off grid for 8 years now and this system works wonderful for less fuel costs and less waste heat .

That's a brilliant idea. Obviously you're using a metal barrel,right? I think I might do this, I'm off grid in my large 40ft fifth wheel. I have wrapped a skirt of 1.5in foam around the sides and I have a 300gallon water tank under the front fifth wheel overhang and since it's wrapped in foam, it keeps from freezing. I might put a 55gallon barrel next to it for my diesel heater exhaust to extract the extra heat and help keep my under RV from freezing and my water tanks from freezing.

@brianbaird6528 9 месяцев назад

The copper is turning colors due to oxidation on the surface. This is called a patina. In most cases, this happens in normal atmospheric temperatures and conditions, and it's the familiar greenish color. This is happening under extreme heat, causing the oxides that form to be of a different chemistry and therefore different color. This patina gets thicker the longer the metal stays heated, which also influences the color.

This means you could use steel tube and a much wider diameter which will be less restrictive and if soot does build up it would be so much easier to clean out. Using steel tube will also last for years but copper glowing red hot will soon disintegrate, not melt but copper turns to powder of a relatively short amount of time.

@oliver90owner Год назад

@@gazbullen I’m not yet convinced. The surface temperature of my copper bottomed saucepans regularly exceed the generally accepted CDH exhaust temperature of circa 300 Celsius (gas flame temperature, for instance). That may produce some copper oxide (but is generally in a fairly reducing atmosphere, of course). However the usual valency copper oxide is Cu II. Cupric oxide is a very stable compound, only melting at over 1000 Celsius, so what exactly are you talking about? Certainly copper salts can be toxic - often used in proprietary wood preservatives. Go on, tell us something real about these mysterious toxins. Your “toxic fumes” precisely, as both copper and cupric oxide appear to be fairly unreactive at exhaust temperature. As the air is about 98% of oxygen and nitrogen, that may lead to some thought of copper nitride formation? If it does, forget it! The only risk of a copper exhaust is that of acidic condensation within the pipe and some copper salts being lost to the surroundings. Most certainly not a fume by any description.

The colour of the copper nearest to the hot end is oxidisation. It will become annealed and will be quite soft. If you put copper into an open flame the flame will turn green. Copper work hardens when bent or hammered. BTW, condensation is normal when you burn hydrocarbon fuels. Part of there exhaust is carbon dioxide and water. Believe it or not if you burn a litre of petrol, about 1 litre of water is produced. Some of these heaters run on 12V, 24V and mains voltage. Personally I'd avoid the mains and use a battery and a transformer.

@andyfireblade 10 месяцев назад

yes! i need to try one thanks andy

@thesurvivalist. Год назад

A wider pipe would reduce the pressure.

@miankhalidmahmood9001 2 месяца назад

i think it may be better to make and add a three copper pipe ( like a fork ) at the begining of original 1mtr exhaust so it will not slown the exit of gas from the machine also more heated copper pipes ? (( Z shape bends not L shape ))

Put some thermal mass around your exhaust pipe and take advantage of the heat from your exhaust

I bet a water storage tank with a large diameter heating coil ( lower resistance) could be linked into the exhaust outlet to heat water ?

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

a Hydronic Baseboard Heater is what you need to get the heat out faster

would you just add this inline with the exhaust? so the gas is passing though the heater?

@spelzman5931 10 месяцев назад

Maybe you can do a test in the garage to see if you can blow on the exhaust pipe with fans so that only cool air leaves the garage at the end. You will probably have to take out the 3 meter long exhaust pipe again. But if it were possible to keep the exhaust heat in the room, the heating would be fantastic efficient.

@misterdog597 10 месяцев назад

Putting a potato into the exhaust of your car/bike will make it heat up quicker thereby saving fuel. What could possibly go wrong ? This is effectively what you are doing adding radiators and long lengths of pipe to your diesel exhaust. The instructions say to ONLY use the supplied length of exhaust pipe for a reason. If you wish to do such things you need to go into a larger diameter pipe and seal it with something that can withstand 2/300 degrees C.

@andyfireblade 10 месяцев назад

yeah, i know what you mean. hahahahah. and i agree that it would be better when using a longer exhaust, it would also be better to use a bigger diameter. good comment , regards andy and thanks for looking in!

There are baseboard radiators like this that are perfect for this application (because they have heat exchange fins) and a better fit for using the exhaust as a secondary heat source than the square radiator you were using. The square radiator hooked up to the exhaust was also not allowing the heater to breath easily.

I looked into the idea of using the finned radiator tube to captrure more heat but the ones I find are only 3/4" diameter and that would be too much resistance for the combustion fan in a long run. I'm still looking for something with a larger inlet and outlet for my project.
