5Kw diesel heater.
3 of 3 found this helpful This heater compared with the German type offer an affordable alternative. I was impressed with the performance .You may consider updating the supplied fittings and fixtures with stainless steel. Although the instructions may be difficult to understand with a bit of care I had no problem. The only issue was with the exhaust silencer , within there is a coiled spring which is spot welded at each end of the silencer . At one end of this spring the spot weld had failed, this was easily repaired.The control display worked according to instructions with the option of selecting one of 6 heat settings or setting a thermostatic temperature setting up to a maximum of 30C. It also has a programmable timer, this is limited to one on / off cycle per day. The heater was supplied with a remote control which failed to operate as the remote is supplied without a battery .On installing a new battery (A27 12v) the led on the remote would indicate when a button was pressed and on this basis I assume the the unit to be operational.
A word on performance , in my test which was mainly at maximum heat output the heater consumed approx 0.2 L / hr.
On initial startup the heater would draw 9 amps after a few minutes this figure would drop to around 1 to 2 amps depending on settings
In standby state the heater would draw around 25ma, that's 1/40 of an amp.
At startup there was a small amount of white smoke which is normal and the same at shutdown. The instructions warn you not to disconnect the 12v battery to shut off the heater as this may cause damage to the onboard heater electronics due to overheating .The heater has a programmed shutdown procedure.
In terms of noise I found the unit to be quiet most noise from the internal fan and the ticking of the fuel delivery pump.
Some tips : make sure the fuel filter and fuel pump are in the proper direction and also with the pump offset around 30 degrees from horizontal. To promote longevity to the fuel pump ensure you prime the fuel supply upto the pump BEFORE using the fuel pump as the diesel fuel acts as a pump lubricant.
Connections on the exhaust side must be gas tight.
This is my first diesel heater and for the money I am impressed.
