Great idea on the filter. Bet it'll help keep the dust out on normal installations. It looks like the manual says there shouldn't be more that 0.15kPa drop in pressure on the inlet so you could knock up a simple U tube manometer to keep an eye on the pressure drop. I to have bought one of these for my garage/workshop and it arrived today. I'm using an old computer power supply to run mine.

FYI that is a 5Kw heater. the chinese ones only come in 2 & 5Kw, the 8 is false advertising . output on the 8 is the same as a 5, tested and prooven by many youtubers. they are exact same size and exact same components .

Nice build its always interesting to see how other people install theirs. There are no 8 kw diesel heaters, it has been proven so many times measuring the heat output on youtube, it is just a marketing ploy to reign people in . there are 2k w and 5 kw heaters, the ones with water heaters are available in 16 kw models.but they are huge in size. mine is outside in a custom built box but mine runs off a 75 amp battery in case of a powercut which will fry the electronics board because the fan will not be able to run if it shuts down prematurely . if you connect a 20 amp battery charger to the battery there will be enough charge in reserve to charge the battery whilst the heater is running. they dont block up if you run the heater on full chat for 10 mins before shutting it down cleaning only needs doing after roughly 2 years of use. 8 to 10 hours a day .

5kw with a 8kw sticker ., the black LCD controller goes dimm after some time .

Personally I cant fault these heaters from China. The best 90 quid Ive ever spent on my car. I wake up , hit the remote and the car is defrosted and hot. Yes faults can occur but a bit of common sense and some diy skills will usually resolve the issue. My only gripe is the LCD displays fade if left on permanently.

Nice set up !!! I have the same 8kw heater. The bigger the space to heat the more diesel it sucks. Best way to save on diesel is to set the temp for 1 degree under the room temp before you turn it on. This way it doesn't spend it's time running on high and drinking so much diesel. It heats well but give it time to raise the temp in the room slowly. I use a ocelating fan pointed towards the celling, it moves the heat around the room nicely.

Are you planning to put the outlet low? If not, you could well end up with summer temps in your rafters, but little actual benefit much below your shoulders due to stratification.

My thoughts too.....or running it into a hot water tank for domestic use. Only needs a cheap 12v pump.

Your exaust is too long and will add resistance or back pressure causing the over temp shut off switch to engage. If your exceeding the factory length on the exaust or intake it's suggested you increase the diameter of the tubing to keep the resistance at a minimum.

It has been perfect, Im so glad I fitted the intake filter on the non combustible air, the amount of crap with welding. grinding etc is amazing. All setting are on standard still, it is set at 23 deg c (remember my thermostat is in the roof space, ground level is 19 deg c). It uses an OKish amount of fuel on full chat, brilliant on low. I never do any of that turning up before shutting off stuff. Never done it with my eberspacher d2 in my campervan of 5 years so why should this be any different. It has caused zero trouble and I have done nothing with it other than both filters, one cleaned and combustible air one renewed. So lets say each week night after work 1hr flat out 2hrs slow and weekend (if allowed to playout in the workshop) 1.5hrs flat out (colder in the morning) and 6hrs low. It will use 7 liters. Its been perfect, sometimes abused for drying paintwork, cleaned filters, never took apart, no fuel additives or internal cleaning in any way and still works a treat. I have never ran it on any other fuel other than main stream branded forecourt car diesel. Im not interested in red, kerosene or mixing of any kind.

As there is no extended pipe pickup into the body of the filter I assumed the filter body would have to completely fill up before the pump could grab any fuel. The way I have mounted it was so that from the moment fuel starts to flow into the filter through the mesh it is available to the pump. Well that's was my thoughts on positioning.

doesnt matter , the battery can go to 0V if left without supervision (heater shuts off instantly at about 6-7V anyway) , 6-7V for a car (starter) battery is "deadly" i.e. irreversible damage can occur on the plates. 10.5V is 0% on starter battery. Auto disconnecting the battery under 12V would do the same as instant power outtage.... best thing to install some kind of a low-battery alarm to shut the heater in time off manually. Shame these heaters are kinda dumb in this regard. A simple dip under 12V (on-battery) would initiate a shutdown sequence in the IC and problem solved. Safe operation on batteries. Nobody thought of this ? Pro-tip for them. WIth AC/DC power supplys .... there are AC/DC power supplies with external 12V batt backup. TRACO and MeanWell are making those. Not sure how those works though.

How noisy are they as it sounds quite loud? Perhaps it's the pickup on the recording mike that makes it sound louder maybe

Its just that the mic is right next to it, yes it creates more noise than a eberspacher but not much.

When I use this to heat my ice fishing tent I use fresh air in not recirculating. It keeps the tent positively pressurized and keeps leaks out around the base of the tent. That's in zero degree windy weather and the heater was outside and we had to turn it down.

No issues with the heater its brilliant.

5kw because there is no such thing as a 8kw one, they market them as 8kw but they most definatly are NOT 8kw

Should have just gone for the 5kw because they are exactly the same the 8 is just a maketed 5kw.

Beware of the cheap fuel filters as they WILL fail over time I put a filter in my tank so if it fails no gas leakage in my box that heats my rooftop tent :)

If you're using it to heat your shop and it's out of the way why did you wrap the exhaust you're going through a brick wall and you want the most heating out of it you can get that includes the heat that radiates off of the exhaust pipe and manifold.

these claims stating 8kw are lies, these have been tested by many very knowledgeable people and they are really 5kw and its just a marketing plow or a reason for a higher price. Buy the lower priced 5kw and save money. I have 2 8kw and they are both 5kw, so buyer beware.

Its a large single garage, two car lengths, please see comments below, I have answered this a couple of ways before, for 0 to 23 I have never checked I would say an hour at flat out, Im only using one. Two for me two would be a waste. I never heat the garage up to 23 this would be wasteful for my uses, 19 deg is enough. I have no insulation of any form and many holes or a building regs call them ventilation.

Aren't you wasting a lot of heat that you could be extracting from that long run ox exhaust pipe? I would unwrap that exhaust pipe, run it through a larger diameter metal tube, and blow garage air through the larger tube. A secondary heat exchanger. more heat in the garage, exhaust gasses would be cooler, and exhaust pipe would run cooler.... With a little bit or relocation you can use the exhaust air from the power supply to supply the air for the heat exchanger....

Hi, as said in the video its not ideal, it should be outside away from the exhaust outlet. But that said put it in perspective you are installing it in garage not a sleeping compartment and for fumes to back feed would require restriction in the exhaust, would we not have a flame out if it back fed? Do what you feel is right and follow the installation instructions, go to eberspacher or webasto and see what they recommend the Chinese instructions are not that good.

It's OK indoors in a large shed or small garage. Just leave the silencer off and get a screen for it. Put aluminium screen over the exhaust too. keeps bugs out.
