Actual Description: When I installed this heater in the fall of 2023, I decided to draw in fresh air instead of recirculating air from in the cab. While this works, it is much slower and quite inefficient, so I have decided to reinstall the heater in the cab of the truck. - Авто та транспорт
For a second I thought you were going to say it heated the windshield so fast, that it cracked! Nice install video!
Haha... nope. It was cracked a long time ago.
@@loweredexpectations4927 At least it wasn't the heater! 🙂
Yes, much better. Once need the the heat towards the window.
🤟
wait..... ... where is hot plate and the heated coffee cup holder.... lol.... that's right it is lowered expectation
Haha... Next week's video " Diesel Heater Ramen Noodle Cooker"
Nice!
Thanks !
If you put a splitter and direct the hot air, a little more towards the passenger and a little more towards the driver, the defogging would be done faster, (I think). Or even a splitter, part of the air directly to the windshield, as you have set and part under the seats (this if there is space under the seats), so it would be warm at the feet as well.
That is a good idea. I am considering installing a splitter to plumb heat into the cap of my truck, so that my generator will start on cold days...
practical display of use very entertaining
"practical display of use" .... for a change 🤣
Thanks !
I have a propane heater in garage. I had a vent NG heater at old house. I miss that style.
I have natural gas in my garage (actually floor heating and air)
Great install man! #don'ttellmegan. ;) Hopefully that 3D print holds up to some heat! You might find it melts a bit, or at least softens with time! I've seen some of my prints in my car kind of sag down with just the heat of the sun. My anxiety was off the charts when you started crazy gluing your fingers to everything! Haha! I am so tempted to buy one of these heaters, but I just don't have any use for one.
I find myself just running the heaters now, just because I can... I have no plans to use my truck, but I'm like... I'm going to warm it up anyway, haha.
I have the print file now, so I can always print it out of something else. The only black I had was PLA, so I went for it... and if it fails in the summer... oh well haha.
nice heater brackets.
Perhaps a little overkill... but it won't fail ! haha.
1:13 you burned a boat? Why would you burn a boat? 🤣🤣👑🤟🏻
Haha... nice. I was confused.
Hey Joel. Here is an experiment you might wnat to try...
Make a vertical boiler (old gas bottle?),
Somehow fit the Heat Exchanger in the bottom of the boiler and some how seal it (for pressure)
Get that steam to drive a Telsa Turbine or some thing and create electricity...
Fitting or Welding the H.E (alloy) and Gas bottle (steel), so dunno if they can be welded for this purpose?
Cheers
That sounds like a fun project ! .... It would be interesting to see how much power could be generated.
I'm sure It wouldn't require very high pressure, but we are regulated here, in Canada, on building pressure vessels... I found out recently when talking to someone about steam engines.
It was just a thought. I mean that 260-70l% cel heat would have an expotential effect in produce steam. A gas cylinder prolly not good idea due to corrosion over time. Constructing a copper one would be preferred, but with the price of copper....I don't really understand much about it, but I was watching pple just lighnibng a fire underneath, others were just blowing compressed air which sorta has same effect. Anyway, Leave ya on the note! It'sll get ya thinking. Cheers!

now do a hydronic heater for the block!
That would be nice... Altho, I did find a puddle of coolant under my truck, so I'm guessing I need to do some repairs first.
@@loweredexpectations4927 the perfect excuse for the wife... I had to dig into the cooling system anyways...
@@TheDogsBox Haha.. True.
You need a new front window lol
Use PETG a lot better PLA will droop after a while or use ABS but hard to print
Great video.
Yeah... It's pretty destroyed !
I was going to use PETG, but the only color I have is blue ... and I wanted to get it done right away. If I have issues with this bracket, I can reprint it in something else in the future.
I don't think my printer can handle ABS at all, haha.
You can print with ABS on that machine for sure. It will warp a bit in the corners, and you will have some layer adhesion issues as it sits, but it's doable. I've printed a ton in ABS on mine, with no modifications, just gotta deal with the issues a bit. Put your printer in a box, and stick one of those diesel heaters in it to keep it all hot! ;)
@@dustinwild Oh... I didn't think it would get hot enough. Haha... diesel heated 3D printer. Genius.
@@loweredexpectations4927 unfortunately, PLA has a glass transition at around 60c. PETG at a minimum, ABS/ASA is best.
@@hotbug1776a Yeah. I'm guessing it will fail during the summer, but I won't be using the heater then. When I have the time and money I will print it out of something better.
Run it till it shuts off from being plugged up
I'm not sure what this means ? ... OOOOH... wait... The experiment ?
Crazy glue loses is staying power at 210 ° F [Near boiling Temperature.]
I didn't know that, but the flange of the vent doesn't get very hot. If it comes lose I will have to find a better solution.
The carbon fiber cover heater would make the truck much faster.
LOL... This is true... I'm going to have to get a different case. That means I have to remove the heater, again !
3D print a new cover...lol
@@kirkwalsh1932 haha... with carbon fibre reinforced filament !
More nonsense please. 🤙
Have a great week Joel.
P.S. ..... Hey Megan, Joel took duct out of the house!
Thanks Ron. I hope you have a great week as well...
You weren't supposed to tell Megan ! haha.
It has caused a big crack on your truck’s windshield
Haha... I wish it was the heater that caused the crack... that would be easy to remedy. Unfortunately, what causes the crack in my windshield is driving in Calgary.... and I can't avoid that.
I thought you were going to put one of the TEE fittings you got with your new heater in the truck to have 2 vents. On another note, you should give gorilla super glue gel a try, it bonds with anything and can even be used overhead.
I was going to use the TEE so that I could pump air into the back to heat my generator .... I still may do that, but for now, I just wanted to test to see how much better it works with the heater in the cab.
Yeah... I think I bought this pack of crazy glue at Princess Auto... it was like 8 packs for $3 or something, haha. I don't use it that often, but it's nice to have around when you do need it.
U should see what they're doing w superglu/cigarette buts, filling cracks/holes it's like a weld... plenty of tube vids on that
@@autojohn-pu1vf Haha... yeah... buts and ramen noodles.
@@autojohn-pu1vfI have seen a lot of those,super glue and baking soda works really good as well.
I dont recirkulate and i can keep my house warm on setting 3 when around 0cel outside
Yeah... it can be done, for sure. When the temps drop, it gets a LOT more difficult though... The past few days it has been -16 to -20C during the day, so I was glad to be recirculating !
yeah okay i remember when we had -20 this winter it was a bit cold but only for a few days so i forgot ;) @@loweredexpectations4927
That heat hitting your windshield in the winter might Crack it right? Don't you think shooting the air under the seats to the front, then your feet will get warm too. Just a thought
It doesn't heat it up fast enough to cause cracking, and despite the interior temp being 40 something C.... the windshield itself will only be just above freezing.... is my guess.
Heating the feet would be nice... but when you get into the vehicle, and it is really cold out, the most important thing is a clear windshield. The rest of the truck warms up pretty quickly with this setup, so although there isn't hot air shooting at your feet, they will be warm 👍
#DON'TTELLMEGAN. 😂
I was hoping someone would notice that.
Nice, Joel tell us what 3D printer do you have?
It is a Creality Ender 3 V2... Just your basic, low end printer... Given to me by a friend, Dustin... I just got it this fall, and it gets a lot of use.
@@loweredexpectations4927 Awesome, my first was a Flashforge Finder, 2nd was the Creality C6SE from kickstarter the last Creality printer I will buy. and 3rd is the Elegoo Neptune 4pro much faster!
did you put the air intake for motor back outside? I keep both my heater and intake inside and exhaust outside so the diesel doesn't have to heat freezing air still, saves a bit more on economy
edit.. in the van
I'm not sure what you mean "for the motor" ... The combustion air is drawn in from outside. The heated air is recirculated.
Oh yes... I'm not sure how much of an effect heating the combustion air has. Cold air is more dense, so it has more oxygen. I'm sure that it is still a net negative, but I think it is a little quieter pulling the combustion air from outside.
It looks like the heater is throwing a lot of heat toward the passenger seat or close to the side of the passenger seat. does the seat get hot especially when the heater is on high.
The seat doesn't get hot to the touch... but anyone sitting in the vehicle, on either side would be very warm. The only reason to have the heater on high is for a quick thaw. After that it can easily maintain a reasonable temperature at setting 2 or 3.
Any long term damage or fire risk having it blow that close to a seat?
That's a good question. I will say that it is possible if it were at max heat, pointed directly at the seat, but in reality even if you tried, I don't' think it would burn anything. The exchanger temp is limited to 236C and the air temp usually tops out at around 100C ... Keep in mind, the body around the heater itself is plastic.... The large volume of air keeps the temperature in check.
Is your windshield cracked? How does it manage to pass inspection every year?.
We don't' have annual inspections in this province.
@@loweredexpectations4927 oh I see, thats good and bad at the same time .😆
@@martinpanks992 Yeah... It is surprising that it doesn't end badly.... I know I grew up in NB and had annual inspections, and there were way more dilapidated vehicles on the road. The reason I haven't replaced my windshield, other than being cheap, is that windshields here are like washer fluid... they need to be replaced every few weeks. The gravel they put on the roads in the winter, and constant construction in the summer means they don't last long. Mine actually got hit by a bolt from oncoming traffic... I thought it was coming through...
@@loweredexpectations4927 yes why replace it if you don't have to, I know I wouldn't if I didn't have to.
Can we install the diesel tank lower 1 meter from the heater?
You can, but it is much harder on the pump to do so, and you will end up with more bubbles in the fuel due to cavitation. I think they say you can mount the tank 3 feet below, but I try to keep the tank level with the heater, or above.
On one of my heaters the tank is 2m below the heater. The only problem with that is if it's not in use for a few days, gravity pulls the fuel down. You then need to prime the line again.
2nd one has tanks above pump same height as heater, no problems when left off for days.
@@kirkwalsh1932 Yeah. What they can do and what the general rules are, are very different.
I'm sure there are cases where pulling from more than a meter below could be a problem, but most of the time it's going to be fine. I like to make it easy on my pump and gravity feed it, but it probably doesn't matter in most situations....
There's also a chance of a spill if you gravity feed, and the pump leaks.
The heater you have with the blue display and the red remote how do you get the unit to display chamber temp.
My heater will only show Hz or ambient temp.
I dont know how to get it to show casing temp like yours does, I can only see that info on my little red remote.
I'm assuming that your controller has red digits ? The blue controller that I have has blue digits.
From what I understand, the older style controllers that show Hz only show bars in the heater logo, and not the actual temp. However... once in the Hz display, you can press the top two buttons (settings and ok ?) and it will show the set temp in C
@@loweredexpectations4927 yes it has bars with red digits, I can turn the HZ to °c but the temp is only the room temp and not casing temp.
I suppose thats why it has the bars instead like you've just said..
@@martinpanks992 Yeah... it seems silly to me not to have an actual temp reading... but they probably figured they are less likely to get complaints if ti just shows bars.
@@loweredexpectations4927 maybe but I carnt see what there would be to complain about as I think displaying casing temp gives you a better sence of whats happening inside the chamber.
