I appreciate all your insight concerning all your videos and diesel heaters.

Interesting! Kind of like it! It gathers more air across the fins and lets it escape through a bit larger hole. It works!

Very cool!! mine did pretty good for first run during Michigan winter. Very efficient. Once I get my garage to a comfortable temp, I lower setting down to 2.5 to 3.5 and my one battery during sunny cold days does well with the one 100 watt solar panel. I have a battery charger on standby if my voltage goes lower than I want on really cold days. I will upgrade to this larger one before next winter, one or two more solar panels and at least one more deep cycle battery. Great videos as always...

Nice review, thank you! i actually bought this unit without knowing is a larger unit. I wanted to order their new design box for it but they said it doesn’t fit. I am using it in a Nissan Patrol when winter camping, at -4 degrees Celsius i get 19 degrees Celsius inside on the lowest setting, perfect to have a good night sleep into the wild

Thank you David, for yet another excellent informative video about these heaters. I've just recently learned about them myself and, after an embarrassingly long KZread deep dive on them, I am ready to bite the bullet and get one. Wait - actually 2. One will be one of the "all-in-one" units to take the edge off in my insulated garage and the other will be for in my John Deere 420 Garden Tractor that I use for snow removal here in mid-Michigan. I'm installing an old Cozy Cab onto this tractor in hopes that I'll be able to endure the bitter winter cold long enough to not only clear my own property, but my short dead end road as well as 5 or 6 of my neighbors. Normally, when it's really cold, I can barely get mine and the road and maybe one other driveway before I'm too cold and have to retreat back to my office chair with 2 heating pads and a blanket because my old back has caught a chill and is now tighter than a banjo string - lol. All that being said, I want to ask if you would be so kind as to give the dimensions of these 3 heaters you have in his video? I think that overall LENGTH is what I need the most but the other dimensions will be helpful as well. I need these measurements because I'm trying to decide whether I can mount this heater in the tractor cab or, if it must be mounted outside of the cab, I'd like to know I can fit it inside of an old military canon ammo can I have in order to keep it out of the elements as much as possible. If it will fit, I'll fab up a bracket to mount it just outside of the rear window of the cab and just plumb the air hoses into the cab. Sorry to have written a novel instead of just asking how long they are. I just figured that if I gave you the entire story that it would allow you to elaborate on anything you may think is worth pointing out. I've enjoyed watching your videos and have grown to appreciate and respect your opinion, especially when it comes to these diesel heaters. You've taught me more about these units than so many other video channels combined. Also, speaking of channels, why does KZread keep "dropping" you from my sub list? My other account has somehow "unsubbed" from your channel 3 times now. I'll randomly see a new video from you show up on my page (usually after the end of another video) and I can see that it's a "new" or unfamiliar thumbnail so I click on it - only to find that it's a couple months old and I never got notified and that's usually when I notice that the "subcribe" button isn't showing me as subscribed - so I have to hit the button again to re-sub. Like I said - it's happened 3 or 4 times now and I always hit the "ALL" feature to get notified for everything. I just now subbed for the first time using this account so only time will tell if it happens under this one too. I hope not. It's VERY frustrating! Maybe you could do some research and do a video for us on why that keeps happening too - lol. OK, sorry for rambling David. Haha - all this to ask the measurements - lol. Thank you again for your time and effort making these videos. I look forward to reading if you choose to reply. Thanks again.

The weird odd sized Hcalory heater is a rare find so you probably won't need to worry about it being slightly longer than the normal 5KW. I'll share a link to an image of the dimensions - static.wixstatic.com/media/4ab75e_22ec83366e5d4ae18cf9bb9262aa9454~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_640,h_444,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/4ab75e_22ec83366e5d4ae18cf9bb9262aa9454~mv2.jpg I'd probably go with the small body 2KW heater as you are only heating a very small space. And it's better to run the small one at full power than the large ones at low power. Less sooting up of the insides.

Great to see u tidied the bench up before starting the recording. Not so easy when all the junk is scattered around randomly. 😂

Thanks. I hope they make an even larger heater for more options. May they add a water heater section as well.

loving the vids thank you

Makes me think of those who used a couple of heaters in tandem for their DIY house heating, only for this one to turn up and make them look very small... :P

Thanks for the video. I didn’t know anybody made a true..ish “8KW”

This was the idea I emailed to you David... A longer heat exchanger .....but I was going to lengthen the inner burn chamber by an equivalent amount to force the hot gas to travel further down the exchanger before it reverses direction and heads to the exhaust.

ive got a 8kw one with a 75mm outlet. so far so good..gotta do the upgrades to it.

Just bought one of these 8kw ones, had to do the same and strip it to check as the cases are identical barring the 90mm cap

Thanks, David. Watching your video for 1st time and I love your presentation. Two weeks ago I bought one for heating my double garage, which is basically almost under ground. All is installed. Just solving exhaust to route via narrow window - waiting for extra long 23mm exhaust tube plus heath sleve. David, can you make short video instructions "How to ..." with this latest LCD colour display with push-rotary button, please? (As seen in this video.) Thankfully George

The way you say hello at the start reminds me of Florence from little Britain 🇬🇧 😂

It sure does have more space for more TEG's 😉

hi david, maybe worth a test: use an (old) heater as AN exhaust heat exchanger. remove the burning chamber, put it between the exhaust ( heater exhaust out to changer in). A thermostaat before the fan as stand alone or remove the fan and conect the air out to the air in of the heater...

For some reason I missed a lot of detail in the video the first time I saw it (i had just replace my hard disk and reloaded windows) , which lead to my asking stupid questions having watched it again in full I noted that weve all got 4-5kw output holes in our walls now and unless you can get an adapter for the output end of the bigger heater to fit our smaller hoses we are slightly stuffed. its quite hard to drill a bigger hole inside an already drilled hole. I hope they made some adapters. its a great idea to produce more heat but we find we have to switch to a 2kw in the spring (march onwards) because the Hz setings wont go down beyond 1.7Hz for the fuel setting on the 4-5kw heater on the 2kw they will adjust as low as 0.9 Hz which stops you overheating over nightm in a caravan or smaller container. I imagine this is more likely to be used by Big RV owners in the USA where everything is bigger than smaller caravan and camper van owners in the UK, also people trying to heat small industrial units or larger houses say a 3 to 4 bedrooms. thanks for all your advice David in getting us up and running in the past youve definately contributed to us saving a heck of a lot of money heating our home over the past winter and we are very grateful for your Videos.

My 5kw heater will infact go between 0.8hz and 8.0hz. . I often use the 0.8 setting in my small well insulated van. Although it continues to run, it's smoky and smelly. The CO reading is 1000ppm in the exhaust. I don't think these heaters can even be tuned to work well below about 1.6hz. Maybe I should have a 2kw heater

I would love to see the one with a water heat exchanger... as well as info where to buy.

Hi Gary from the UK here grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming I really love your videos, you really get into the nuts and bolts of things do you know the size of the aluminiume heater unit on the 90mm heater because I want to make sure I have the right unit and NOT something else that's not 8.5kw please, thanks for your help

So the new Hcalory heater is basically the same components, the increased length of 54mm really increases the surface area of the cooling fins considerably. There should be an increase in heat transfer. Smart solution at minimal components affected. I wonder if the exhaust temperature is reduced.

@Kiowan918

It has to be, the exhaust flow rate won't be different and as more heat is exchanged before the exhaust the temperature of the exhaust cannot possibly be the same. It's still going to be extremely hot though.

Yeah,,,,I have a tank farm too

If it is only the ally casting that increased in size, I would fear that chamber temps will have to be lower, which in turn means quicker soot build up?

Hi,David. Very interesting review of this larger heat output model from Hcalory brand. Have you ever done any experimentation with a diesel heater exchanger by painting the outside aluminium air exchanger fins with proprietary matt black heat dissipating paint such as would be used on an air cooled motorcycle cylinder barrel? I just wonder if matt blacking the outer fins would noticeably improve the hot air output. Edit to add: I wonder if the combined heat output of the air to air heat exchange plus the exhaust gas heat loss comes closer to the claimed 8kw output?

For $99 US on Amazon, this is what I'll replace my shop's pellet stove with. Be nice to have a bit more heat efficiency per dollar of fuel versus my pellet stove, and once I can source an old iron steam radiator, scavenge even more heat from the exhaust. I love the ability to fine tune these with the right controller and ECU and get the best efficiency for your environment too.

Hey David love watching your stuff - I'm not sure if it's the content or how you explain stuff but it always makes me smile! I'd love any advice you could give me on heating a small 26 foot fibreglass folk boat - not a huge amount of room and I have limited battery power, from an efficiency perspective is it advisable to go for a small heater and work it at high rate or go for a bigger unit reducing the work of the unit - again thanks mate and keep up the great work cheers form Hobart Tasmania - K.

i cant find these bigger ones in the uk but im not sure if they are in the new toolbox type as they have a 90mm air outlet is there much in it with the 5-8kw vs the 6-8.5kw

Was thinking of purchasing 1 of these, this will be my first CDH thoughts on a home fit? Do i re-circulate the hot air in the room? 2 vent holes drilled or , drill 1 hole and leave the other intake outside in fresh air? what are the pros and cons, been as we dont have very Harsh winters now?

Great video. Do most Chinese diesel heaters have brushed motors? How long before they need maintenance?

The Hcalory that I bought has a 100mm duct and it can heat a 10x12ft tarp covered area to 10C when the outside temp is -4C in about 2 hours, so much so I don't need to wear a jacket. I am using it to heat this area until I build a box for it to heat my house. Are the gasket sets for these bigger heaters the same as the rest?

Can I run the standard ones on the side as well? , So the exhaust and the intake is coming out the side on the 4kw

👍

So the 8KW heater just produced more heat by pumping faster and more fuel? So the control board is the difference and how it controls the pump output? Now to figure out which of the units (other than the Hcalory brand) are really the larger 8KW units or just the old 5 KW unit re-labled?

Access the pond our Ebay only offers 5-8kw sizes.

My Hcalory says it's 5-8 kw and it's the smaller than the big one. With a 22 pump. I measured as you did and got 135mm.

Where can i buy the 4kw hcalory unit in the uk? I only see 5kw. Also, what is the best remote to get there are 3 options

I have done just this, making the outlet hole larger and interfacing it with 5" ductwork and also getting rid of the restrictive crisscross mesh on the inlet has increased airflow across the exchanger. The displayed temperature on the controller is consistently lower now, I rarely see temps above 180c now when running on pump diesel, previously I was seeing 200-215c at a push. Does it produce more heat...? I don't think so, but I have increased the air volume enabling me to port it around my ducting. Am really interested in seeing how this new model performs.

Thats what I'd like to know as well. I mean you can't make 8KW/Hr worth of heat if you're only using 3KW/Hr of fuel. You need to pump at least 800mL/ hour to do that. I found 1 pump on Amazon that actually gave all the spec ratings of the pump. 22ml/1000 pulses and can go up to 12hz. At 12hz the pump will output 950ml/hour. So the pump is capable, just need a controller that can go that high. Trying to figure out the pump rating was the challenge for me. Most sellers just say 22ml diesel pump. Ok 22ml per what? A minute, an hour, nope found out its per 1000 pulses!

@charleshamel2797 that cool man our maths are both jiving up. I was using 10Kw/liter energy for diesel. Its a bit more for kerosene at 10.35KW/L. Then Id just take 6hz x 60 x60 to get pulses/hour, then divide by 1000 to get how many 22ml doses per hour. Then multiply that number by 22 to get ml/hour. Then its just( ml÷1000) × 10000watts. And that gives how many watts of heat/hour.

If I come up with anything worth while I'll be sure to share with you, Kinda remind me of Scotty from StarTrek . Personality more less seems to mach , least from how you are in the video's lol. 🍻

I have just bought this heater and the body is shorter than your model, ebay special I guess lol

Hi, have you tried a standard plastic 5L fuel can. Chuck the spout, put in a dip tube for fuel and a garden drip feed nozzle for air bleed in the lid insert. Easy to fill outside and save the fuel smelling up the living area.

One thing that we can all agree, this thing should never be in a CAR. For use as a car heater.... if you value your life

Dave love the videos please can you help me

will it work with Afterburner?

David, will the bigger one use more fuel?

It does yes.

I hope they can make burner 2 part, easier to clean the buildups inside, so we can burn more waste oil.

I'm sure if they extend the body length 1.5x longer, the heat exchange will produce more heat, thus reduce the exhaust temperature. Why not?

just get an old waste oil burner why in the world would you want to clean one of these every time you use it ?

No longer on eBay mate

None of them produce 8kw. The 2-5 kw is the same unit. No matter which one you buy, they either max out at 7k, or 17k BTU. I'd advise picking up a Kyocera glow plug, at the same time you buy the heater though. The included ones are shit.

What size pump?

@@DavidMcLuckie No, ever since i got my license ive been boringly dry. the start of the video is wobbly but stabilizes as it goes.
