Finally --- Chinese Diesel Heater running without Pump

- After a lot of problem solving and programming on the Arduino, I finally managed to get the Chinese Diesel Heater Running, without pump, just by gravity and a 2-way-valve. Nevertheless, the idea is to control the flame of the burner by lamda sensor to keep it running in optimum burning condition all the time. Stay tuned.

Please don’t give up on this. You’re on a winner once you’ve perfected it. You’re persistence and perseverance makes interesting to watch. Keep up the good work.
I HATE all solutions that depend on microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi and similar high-tech.
Physical solutions I can cope with, but as soon as I contemplate a device that I have to "download" some program to before it will work... just no.
I am great with electronics -say a 555 timer set to pulse at a certain speed- but those controller chips, their "environment", either downloading someone else's program or attempting to write my own, then connecting it to the USB... just to get it working doing as little as flashing an LED???
That is insane.
Use pwm.for the fan on pin 5 or 6 instead. Its double frequence.
can use an old computer power supply :)
That black pipe on the exhaust is for the intake and will burn up,greetings from britain.
Most SSRs require heatsinks, even in normal work conditions. It is also the case in your Fotek DD series devices, where producer clearly states that Heatsink is not required only if line current is lower than 5 A. Plywood on your worktable doesn't act as heatsink definitely.
It is not low quality or producer fault but only yours, that your SSR burnt out.
I built an oil burner stove for my shop 20 years ago. From scrap metal from the scrap yard. Maybe a tad smaller than a 55 barrel. Used it to heat 1500 square feet with 11 foot ceiling. Drip feed oil to burner and air for burner I could control at variable rate. Without a pump and control to control feed rate of oil it will be hard to control oil with temp swings. When I first fired up my stove... I would set drip rate. As shop heated up the oil in tank would warm and get thinner. As shop heated up and tank heated up I had to reduce rate of drip as day went on. Still have my stove. But you have to monitor it. Got slow speed pump and motor to control oil flow now. In case I put it in my new shop.
Die lager vom Ventilator sind bescheiden, haben die Chinesen gespart :-)
Great stuff, how much higher than the heater do you think the tank will need to be? And if you have a single tank will the pressure from the fuel effect the running of the heater, perhaps 'forcing' more fuel than is required through the valve as it opens and closes, fuel pressure? Perhaps you could make a twin stage tank?
You have come too far to quit now. Great work! Ironically I have been studying vapour burners for a month now and considered building my own for the hell of it. However, I have bought a clicky Chinese heater for my garage now but still enjoy the idea of creating my own simply for the interest of doing it and you have spurred me on even further :-)
@@ouroldtruck9380 Actually I meant the same principal as you are working on i.e glow plug start and fan assist designs.
Originally I was looking for a different means to heat my home foundry furnace. I have made a syphon nozzle design which uses compressed air and that is the problem, Its so noisy with the compressor cutting in all the time and the regulation goes amiss when is re-pressurising.
@@ouroldtruck9380 I wasn't aware of this type of heater. Looks interesting.
It's not too dissimilar to waste oil pot burners you see on here but obviously more refined and tamer. It will be interesting to see how this regulator works . Looks like it uses a float bowl?
I look forward to your progress. Cheers Rich
@@ouroldtruck9380 Well that's good news :-) Oh by the way, if you think your clicking was bad, I bought the free standing unit so the pump is effectively coupled to a metal box LOL!
Please make this work! I used my all-in-one unit for the first time last weekend and it didn't just "click" it sounded like an East German Stasi agent knocking on the door to take you downtown to "answer a few questions". It's almost unusable like that.
