#Banggood #Hcalory #DieselHeater
As a side note to anyone interested on Chinese diesel heater reliability. My son has been running an 8kw unit in his off grid caravan for 3 years & for 12 -15 hours a day. Sometime 24hrs constant in the winter & it never let him down. The only problem he had, was running it for too long at a low setting which caused carbon build up. The 8kw is too big really hence low running temps. He's an engineer and soon stripped it down and cleaned it out. He now uses top setting for a time regularly to keep it clean. Love your channel Dave.
Please tell us how much fuel this “8kW” heater consumes each hour. Somehow I don’t quite believe it is anywhere near 8kW.
Again you said its never let him down? What do you mean by that? As the next sen3you said running it low caused a carbon build up? Confusing
@@oliver90owner On its lowest setting (2kw approx) it uses .01 L p/h. flatout .5 L p/h. whether it is 8kw is up for debate. No doubt this can be worked out by diesel consumed. Dave did a test a while on this subject. Also, not use if trading standards in the uk would kick off if this turned out to be wrong. Flatout it kicks out some serious heat and way to much for my 24' x 12' workshop fulltime. i turn it down after 15 mins
@@Woodlandbill it still ran but, not as well as it should. If you don't follow guidelines on use, it will play up
@@piconano arr right I see what you mean, so running it on low as not full power causes build up of soot causing it problems, so best giving it a blast of running it on full power, as if it's getting too much fuel and it's not all burning up 🔥
Hello there! After seeing your presentation on the heater, I ordered one! I have been waiting a long time for an all in one portable heater and this one fits the bill nicely. Bluetooth enabled was the seller for it for me. Got it through the website you showed us. .
The thermal camera shot of the internal exhaust was crazy!! 😳
Hcalory
It's a really good product.
I've also worked on a distilled water capacitor that can extract hot water from the exhaust heat
We succeeded in extracting hot water to 52 degrees
Hcalory
It's a high-quality Musudong heater
great review ! I found one document that states the start up power consumption ranges from 9-11 amps. I see your Bluetti DC output is limited to 9 amps. That might of been the reason it start up. More newer batteries are now rated up to 15A. Hope that helps.
Just wanted to say thank you for the Bluetooth link, They just don't make things easy anymore lol, I have the all-in-one red cabinet Just got yesterday fired it up for the 1st test run. Went well didn't burn any thing down lol
14:40 "start heating, indeed you shall madam' - luv the brit humor!!
Thank you for the indepth review of this, really needed it thank you!
Great video as always David seems like a nice little heater, if you wanted to run it outside it would be handy if the manufacture would include a external temperature sensor so it could be indoors or even make the controller detachable with a longer lead but maybe that will come in a future update, not a bad price for what it is plus it's a small step closer to the Afterburner but still nowhere near the functionality.
That would be a good idea as well. An extension for the temp sensor. Don't really want the exhaust gas in the space you're heating, and having it ventilated just means you'll use a lot more fuel trying to stay warm.
Small steps, but at least they are trying.
@@DavidMcLuckie your link to purchase this product now says not available in the UK.
USA and Canada only
Apparently you just remove that control panel, cut the wires and extend the wires into your Van/Camper/Tent.
@@DavidMcLuckie They Don't ship to the U.K , the one you have in your Description for £134 , they are from China
The Cheapest one i could find in the U.K costs £159
Just thought i would let you know.
I was going to not attach that Diesel container to the side of the Heater , i was going to use a 20 Ltr container instead and drop the fuel line in it with a weighted fuel filter. But then i heard the Priming will take much longer because of the distance the fuel has to travel , the shorter the distance the better.
I would love to see a weatherproof test against rain! Obviously the controller would need to come inside!
Same here.
I have the older version if this in the red cabinet, I run the exhaust into the house chimney when I have a power break, and then I have a large 12v battery connected to a charger which again are connected to the generator 👌 So I can run the router, tv, fridge and some lights while having some heat going...
How do you connect it to your chimney to stop gasses returning to the room. I would like to fit mine in an unused fireplace. Roni
Hey buddy, love your videos, I have one of the liquid and air heaters. My plan is to have heated floors and heat my water tanks and batteries along with heating the air in my RV, but really need something that works on a thermostat so it doesn't just run all day... Mr Jones can't help because the connections are wrong for the afterburner. Any ideas? I thought about getting the board and controller that his controller does work with and using the fan wire to trigger a relay to run the water pump but not sure if that will work.
Hi it looks like a great hearing unit BUT if the exhaust and air at opposite ends it would be more practical IE the heater outlet and inlet are away from the exhaust. You could out side and put the heater pip through a cat for instance.
Cheers for the look around on that one, looks a good unit, I wonder if you could take that display off and solder some long wires to it so you can leave the heater outside in a shed say, have the display inside and then still use that 30 second disable feature. Still looks super handy.
I read in one of the comments that the 2 KW are no longer available. I'm seeing 3kw units now. Is a 3 kw just a detuned 5 kw? You are helping us with your knowledge. Thanks
Thanks for the video David, Have you been able to change the altitude setting? I have the same heater and controller from Hcalory and consistently travel and camp at elevations between 2km and 3km ASL. Based on the instruction manual that shipped with the unit, I was hopeful I'd be able to make changes to the altitude (by accessing En06 within the engineering mode menu) -It appears, however, to only allow viewing of the mode and not the ability to modify it. For that matter, I can't find the ability to simply fine tune the fuel low and high Hz rate (to manually set it for a more lean burn at high elevations).
I think it might be for display purposes only.
There doesn't appear to be any adjustment either.
I have found one controller that does actually do something when you turn on 'elevation' mode and you can hear the fuel pump change hz. Its the one that looks like the original black rectangle but the display on screen is different.
Thanks so much for the APP link. COULD NOT GET THE PHONE TO FIND IT .
They should change the design of their heat exchanger casing and run the first 12-14 inches of exhaust piping directly out the burner and free float through the air tunnel it would make more heat off the exhaust and cool it down before it exits the exchanger body so exhaust tempratures are lower. it would probably be 30-40% more efficent too.
I'm definitely going to get one for the garage I just had a google and found it on eBay for £150
Brilliant video
If this was fitted in a camper van would only the exhaust need to go outside
Let’s say out there a turret in the floor
Thanks again
Great channel, got me into diesel heaters. What would be good is a video where your running max chat on mains power transformer and then get a power cut. What are the effects on the heater internals when there’s no cooling cycle due loss of power?
I’m only familiar with the Espar brand and while power interruptions should be avoided it generally does not harm anything, as a fuse can blow or many other scenarios can cause this and the heater won’t melt.
Don't see how you could use it due to the exhaust setup. The unit would have to be sited outside and it obviously isn't waterproof, needs a bit of tweeking I think 🤔
Waterproof in the sense that you couldn't submerge it no. But I'm pretty confident it would withstand a rain shower. Perhaps that's another video right there?
@@DavidMcLuckie Any updates on this part?
The instruction book is almost worthless and this video is Priceless!
Can you test the altitude adjustment to see if it actually works?
You make me laugh soooo much! Thanks for all the vids!
Just had 2 x all in ones delivered today, 1 for my dad and one for my son. Just got to drill a 28mm hole to the outside in their homes for the exhaust. That's 6 I've bought so far this year thanks to you. So cheap to run especially on kerosene with no issues with the pump 😁
I have three diesel heaters and add a cap full of 2 stroke oil to each fill helps lubricate the pump
Exactly what I do. Mate who has a woodwork hobby shed has oil heating in his home plus 1 diesel heater and has been running it for almost 4 years doing the same
@@paulbrammer1513 I also use an Aldi steam cleaner blowing steam into the cold air intake seems to help keep the combustion chamber clean
yes that Australian guy John mck really started a rumor that people recite as truth over and over. Happens all over the forums. He has some good basic videos but there's quite a few issues with his videos. I mean he is always using them in a t shirt outside with temporary set ups in his videos 😆
Most diesel has biodiesel added as a lubricant. Check the pump sticker next time you buy fuel. Biodiesel is incredibly slippery, and it replaces the sulfur compounds which were previously used to improve fuel lubricity. If you stick with two stroke oil be sure to use an “ash-less” type to minimize carbon buildup
If you've not already done so is there any chance you could do a quick comparison of all the different controllers testing the idle current when the heater is in standby and not active?
Ie. Afterburner, this bluetooth controller, the ones with 433MHz receivers/transceivers, the simple dial controllers, etc.
What with all the various options now available it'd be handy to know which are most power-conscious when the heater isn't in use.
Hi, really good review! Anyone knows if this new type controllers are compatible with an blue lcd mainboard? And if so, if via factory menu it is possible to adapt the pump and fan settings for use on a 2kw heater unit?
Bluetooth and fob are great. A lot of us using it for a tent heater. Since you wanna leave the unit outside the tent, you can control it from inside the tent without having to step out.
Hi David. Another interesting review. I built a similar heater setup to heat my tent in winter but it has now started playing silly burgers. Won’t fire, the fan just keeps on running. Any idea where I can source spares. Ps. Used a outboard motor fuel tank and fuel connectors. Cheers, Jim.
For diesel heater spares it's usually just AliExpress or eBay for me. Banggood have got bits like exhausts and fuel pumps but not burn chambers.
Hi David, great video..my unit has just arrived. Same heater same Bluetooth controller, only mine isn't in a box...
How did you manage to prime the pump? For the life of me I cannot find his to turn on priming mode 😭
I am thinking of using one for my shed. Two questions sort of... I gather the exhaust runs at 200 degrees centigrade? So in a wooden shed that would need insulating particularly where it goes through the wall. I What is the start up and running current?
Good vid, I just bought and installed one of the ac/dc units....OTOTEC LED Regulated Switch Power Supply Transformers 12V 30A 360W. Question ..my fan went straight on as soon as the power was switched on, I have a feeling it may be defective, because the advert showed that the fan would only go on if the unit needed cooling, I assume when under load. Aaiting the supplier to come back to me on Amazon.
I like the Idea. What happens if you use it in rain?
In auto mode heater drain battery every 2C up/down. Only power mode is ok with low pump mode and tune fan speed.
Hi David
Could you tell me the diameter of the air outlet cover for the hot air pipe
Is it 60mm or 75mm
Would you recommend the heater
I run one on a 100Ah lifepor4 renogy battery right off 12v - Uses 1% start up and then same for shutdown according to the BMS
McLuckie,
When you "revisit" the exhaust insulation: wrap it with some copper pipe and DiY a "cup of tea" maker: if you're in an emergency without power for days, who wouldn't like a hot cup of tea/coffee/etc? Then wrap it with some ridiculous space-age insulation.
🤯 You're welcome 🥳
Great video, as I have my eye on this model. I have a question regarding the exhaust. It looked like the manual showed it vertical like you set it up, does this avoid the condensation from building up in the silencer/muffler, as I had heard the exhaust should be on a slight downgrade. Asking because I really don’t know anything about it but have heard what seems to be conflicting info. Thx.
Hi David, do you think I could just run the combustion intake INSIDE the case rather than using the tubing to put everything outside? With those generous vents on the side of the case, I'm guessing it'd have enough air? Also, there is no filter on the combustion intake. Is that a problem? That big plastic thing is just a muffler. I've got little 25mm intake filter on the way but curious as to what you'd recommend
Yes. The case itself is sitting outside so you don't really need the intake. Unless you're running somewhere really dusty, the air filter is there to stop you sucking in leaves and having rodents make a next.
Hi David are you still using this type of heater? how has it been over time, i am about to purchase one, and just wanted an update on the unit
Looks like a good bit of kit but, not so sure about the plastic housing re exhaust. That defo needs more insulation. I've just fitted a Vevor chinese 8kw all in one unit in my workshop as replacement for 5kw of electric heating. It works really well. Not just heat but, air circulation makes it much more even spread. Gonna work out way cheaper & I am seriously considering buying another 1 just incase we get the power outages forecast. This time, I'm going to mount it outside in a weatherproof box & drill a hole through the blockwork for the outlet making it pretty inside before the wife has a fit! . Who would have thought 12 months ago we would all be thinking about so many off grid ways to keep warm. Fitted a woodburner too lol. Just need a mini nuclear power plant and we're sorted.
Better prepared and it not happen, than it happens and we're in the shit.
Do you have a link to the one you purchased ? I’m looking at one for heating a unit too. Thanks.
@@thecomputertech I bought mine on ebay. Type in VEVOR diesel heater and a section pop up
Hi there, do you know of a "Quick Disconnect" hardware set that works with this white fuel line? I need it be valved on both sides so when I disconnect, I don't lose fuel out of either end.
Why don't any of these use the waste heat from the exhaust? Wouldn't that make them way more efficient?
Is there anyway to tune the fuel pump hertz or fan speed for calibration? You mentioned you had tuned it somehow.
ive also been looking for this, hope he replys on how he tuned it
Is it waterproof? Can it be outside in the rain?
I have one of the ones with the buttons along the bottom of the controller. Does the controller or the board read the voltage? It is reading .6V lower than the actual voltage at the harness and won't start unless the alternator is charging as it gets upset thinking the voltage is too low when the glow plug comes on. It's not even cold yet, it started fine in like -30 last year.
@@piconano I just put a battery in it about a year ago and cables are not green but it's 2022 where new parts are garbage so I guess I shouldn't rule it out.
can the muffler be mounted straight to the box?, shouldn't it be lower so that the excess of fumes can escape through this small hole in the muffler?
How does it handle bad weather if i put it outside my tent end leads the hot air in to the tent. And it starts to rain.
Great review 👍
Would this heater run on its side, so I could put it under my van to keep the weather of it and keep the hot exhaust out of reach of people?
Things that are questionable, is the controller ip rated? They could have stuck it in any box, yet mess of air intake externally. What would have been really smart is completely enclosed with storage and insulated outlet pre heating inlet air.
hey David, I just bought one of these and used it this weekend and wondered if I could ask a couple of questions, one I found a green piece of what looks like gasket material (I will send a photo if would allow) I wondered if this is the cause of my other question. we used it on 6 to heat a 10x9 canvas tent and it would not really heat it like I hoped. the other cause possible is we used a 2" long corrugated hose and thought that might have let a lot of heat escape before it got to the tent. thanks for any help you might be able to give me Jason
Were you heating outside air or recirculating the air in the tent?
@@DavidMcLuckie good point it was outside air and around 15d - 9c
@@jasongallant7173 Hows it working as a cold weather heater that's outside the tent and not recirculating warm air? I'm wanting to run one of these sitting on my bumper and pumping heat into my pickup camper. I'll be ski camping where temps are 0d to 20d often at night. Wondering if it can dump heat. Seems like most people struggle having too much heat with these things tho.
@@vin9976 I tried it with recirculating air by adding a hose onto the intake I still wasn't super happy with the way it was heating the tent at teens for temperature I read something the other day that says to run it on low fan for a while until it gets really hot and then maybe turn the fan up so I'm going to try that next
Can the lcd control be fitted inside the case for weather proofing
I wonder if the radiating heat from the exhaust wrap will cause damage to the plastic knock-off Pelican box over time? I run a small computer fan on my portable unit, such as Keegan Builds, and it makes a world of difference in the box temperature. Anyway, thanks for review. Too bad that you had to put the power supply in the mix; it's going to pull a smaller portable battery pack down more quickly. My Jackery 1000 easily puts out the necessary 10 amps for the glow plug operation via the cigarette lighter outlet.
I'm going to start doing that as my power station test, will it run a diesel heater. :)
Please do an update if you find out how to set attitude and any tuning... ive fiddled with mine to no avail and have searched far and wide on how to so please if you find out anything let us know and thank you😊
I do keep thinking about getting a diesel heater, but then I think about what it needs for it to be used for a house, and how to power it, and where to site it, and how to get the heat in, and to keep the exhaust out, and then I just can't be arsed, cos I have a couple of Aladdin blue-flame paraffin heaters (very clean burning), and with a little bit of dubious wiring I could probably even run the boiler off a decent UPS (so long as there is gas supplied) with battery upgrades, but we shall see, all this "3 hour blackouts cos no gas!!!" could just be scaremongering...
My boiler is on a 13A plug. That's my plan in the even of an extended power outage, boiler on battery or generator. Then at least I can stay warm.
That plug end have a fuse? Causing resistance
I'm seriously considering buying one of these units. My current all in one unit has a strange smell of the output supply air. Have you noticed any smell from this one?
You shouldn't have any smell from the hot air output.
i have 2 ????? can you switch between C or F degrees. And does it have a clock timer like on at 0700 a clock and off at 0730 a clock (NOT THE COUNT DOWN TIMER) on the knobbed app controller
Can I ask what the remedy was for the phone app as I have the same issue with connection, great videos by the way!
It was to use the old version - davidmcluckie.com/download/hcalory-heater-app/
I just want the motherboard and controller !! anyone know what they're ??? I have 4 heaters and would like the extra control... Great info as always David !!!
Booyood is the company that makes the controllers. But they don't sell them to end users sadly.
@@DavidMcLuckie Dam 😔... thanks for the reply mate 👍
No you don’t, I have the genuine hcalory 5k, the thermostat mode doesn’t properly work, the auto start stop isn’t in the programming at all. And the heater only puts out about 1/3 what the vevor does. As a party bonus the heated air smells like diesel fumes. These things are absolutely garbage.
Shout out to David McLuckie for your honest feedback!
🔥What comes to your mind when you see the word "winter"?🥶
Are you still worried about the energy crisis?😫
Don't worry, Hcalory gives you a cozy and warm winter！🥰
Follow us for more information!😉
Hi David, can you recommend anywhere I can get decent quality replacement heater plugs for my 5kw campervan Chinese diesel heater? The ones I’m getting off eBay ain’t lasting 2 minutes. Thanks in advance.
I haven't actually killed one yet. Is there a fault elsewhere? Multiple failures would make me look at the ECU that's driving them.
Because of the energy crisis I now have the exhaust also come into my room. I get extra heating and I feel relaxed and are not scared of what is going on the news anymore.
But my lips are blue? Wonder why, I feel warm doh....
I take the batteries out the CO alarm as well. That constant beeping is giving me headaches and making me feel sick.
Does anybody know how to change the controller in this video from Celsius to the hertz mode ?
Any thoughts on a good candidate for replacement exhaust insulation?
amzn.to/3T42MDG
I've used that for covering the exhaust in other projects.
Just got mine. It will not run on the 12v .anker power house that i have .think it is on 24v how can i change it to 12v .the book that is comes with is not great ?
Are you bending the muffler to 90°
I bought a few of these based on the auto start feature, the Bluetooth is a nice touch, but when the first one didn’t function properly by thermostat mode, and f9 wasn’t even in the options menu (even though it is the model that is supposed to do that) and as a party bonus (the heater is mounted outside my 5th wheel with the 3” heated air ducted inside through the floor) I have diesel fumes inside. I shut it down and turned up the propane furnace. These are a real “pile of kit” I’m sending them back, I’ll deal with the non auto start vevors occasionally overheating me, at least I’ll be alive, and not burn down my rig. This was the first hcalory product I’ve tried, and will be the last. Absolute rubbish!
EXACTLY the same issues here with our 5th wheel - no F9 and fumes inside what on earth!!! Even the book has F9 in the menu
@@legacyfirst it’s actually moved to f8, but the heaters don’t even heat enough to get to shut off mode. I sent 3 of them back. I won’t buy anybody’s brand with that controller again. Just yesterday I put a new fan in the OG vevor heater I’ve been running for about 4 years. Still runs like a champ :)
Hows this Heater working out so far? Any updates?
just a trivial thing I noticed perhaps but all the other information I've seen concerning the exhaust pipe is that if the unit is run for very long condensation and water builds up in the pipe unless it is basically pointed slightly down so the water can drain out? comment?
In theory yes. But the exhaust is also running at 200+ºC so any water that does condense will evaporate again. I suppose the problem would be if you ran the heater, let it cool (condensate forms), and the didn't use the heater again for an extended period of time.
@@DavidMcLuckie ahh. Thanks for your prompt reply Mr McLuckie.
👍👍👍
Hi Dave, which controller do ypu recommend purchasing as there are 3 options? Or get any and change it out for the australian after burner?
Depends what you need it to do? If you only need basic on off control or want to have schedules or control from anywhere or Home Assistant integration.
@DavidMcLuckie on off, adjust the power to the lowest Kw, safe. Other options would be a bonus.
I don't like the blue style control, doesn't suit the style but then there are another 2 rectangle black models.
Some heater require at least 13 continuous volts during the start up process. Is it the same for this heater?
This controller really doesn't like voltage drops.
Did you figure out why the DC outlet wouldn’t work? I’m trying to run mine off of a 500 watt hour battery and running into a similar issue you had.
Not yet. Requires further investigation. Going by the specs that power station should be capable of supplying enough current. Will need to test of the voltage sagged away.
This particular model don't work with standard 12v from ecoflow bluetti etc, if you take the classic red all in one yes.
@@DavidMcLuckie As an update - i tried to run it off a jackery 2000 pro through the dc outlet and it was a no go. I’m thinking it needs more than 10 amps to get the glow plugs going.
overall nice unit . BUT, fuel tank should slide into a holder so you could slide it out to fill then slide it back in to run. exhaust: if i wanted to put in a window and run the exhaust out the window it needs to come out the other end and lay down so i can close the window on it and the hot air out would flow into the room.
Both excellent points. I wonder if the intake hole and the exhaust hole are the same size port on the box. Maybe it could be switched round. I like the idea of a removable fuel tank.
A friend and I each bought an HC-A11.
After several days of trying to get the heater to work according to the manual, we gave up.
Now I have been informed that these Hcalory Blutooth are rubbish...
So now we're wondering how you got your's to work David...?
Well. There's a thing. My bluetooth app works, but the remote control doesn't. It also refuses to re-learn.
@@DavidMcLuckie... Okay.... Neither of these two heaters stops when the set temperature is reached. Nor does the heater start automatically after the temperature has dropped far below the set temperature. Have you noticed that.?
Off topic, don't suppose you know how to remove the combustion chamber from the housing on a mikuni my16 heater, its a bit different than the Chinese models. Its got me stumped and can't find any info for it. cheers
The exploded diagram looks like there is only a few bolts holding it on once you get all the covers off. mvheating.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/my16-mye16.jpg
If you install one in your garage can you turn it on with the Bluetooth say if you were at work?
Not to my knowledge. You would need to be in range of your phone. Unless some kind of bluetooth bridge excists.
Does the bottom of the unit get super hot? If it was put on a carpet or wood table would it burn the surface? Cheers.
Negative. The exhaust is wrapped and shielded inside the box.
I did not hear the fuel pump clicking or did I miss it?
Still there, but being inside that box certainly dampens the noise from it.
When u set automatic start up and shut down mode.
Lower u set the temp, the heat and fan speed drop.
36C its max but 21celsius its set at 4 or 5 out of 10.
Adjust it in settings 0 to -9 or up to pkus 9.
But closer it gets to set temp fan speed and heat get lower and lower.
Why is that? Why wont it allow heater to stay at max heat and fan speed.
29C is 7 out of 10 for heat.
Will this work with a Jackery 1000 or 1500?
Most likely. I've run other diesel heaters from the Jakery as they have a real 10A output on the 12V
Is it waterproof, is there a way to make it easily waterproof ?
The heater inside the box mostly yes. But the controller outside the box mostly not. Putting the controller inside the box would go some way to making it more waterproof.
What does the left down fuel button does? prime?
Thoughts on making this with a aliminium case?
The aluminum case will get hot.
Does the temareture not get measured from your phone when using the app in on/off mode?
No.
How long will that heater run on 5 gallons. The Bluetooth is a nice feature. I heat my 32ft motorhome with the planar 44d heater. I am on my 4th year with it and no problems. It runs 24/7 from fall to spring non stop with no shut down.
Our winters are normally from 20 degrees f to 2 degrees f and heats this motorhome very well. Been a good heater.
Any ideas if that controller would work if installed on a Triclicks heater?
Should do. They are all more or less a universal fit. The only thing is usually the position and type of plugs used.
It's not fully contained as fuel tank, air filter and exhaust hanging off it. Controller seems not ip rated, sadly close but flawed. Ordered one before realising all this, so may be going back.
What voltage should I set the ac/dc converter at for the diesel heater ? currently got it on 12.4 volts
If it's just running the heater 12.4 is fine, if you were using it to float a battery charge then you'd need to look up what your type of battery is and the float voltage.
@@DavidMcLuckie Many thanks David. I have just finished my install and everything looks ok. But it wont manually prime. I have no error messages, but I have pressed the 2 buttons at the bottom and nothing happens all though both buttons work okay. I have even tried pressing the up and down arrows but all i get it the temp.
I have checked that all the wiring connectors are econnected but no joy. Any ideas?
Just sorted the problem, yippee
How long is the heat hose? The one that blows the heat out?
I've actually never stretched one of those hoses out fully. So I have to say I don't know.
Is there any alpine mode on this model? I have James’ diaphragm pump and the thing still smokes like a freight train.
Not that I can find. It shows and 'elevation' but doesn't seem to do anything with it.
@@DavidMcLuckie have you found a way to even change altitude? The manual says it has engineering mode, but you don’t seem to be able to adjust anything. I see pics where the number is higher than 0.0, but can’t figure out how to change it. I’m at 7000asl
would be nice to hook that thing up to some kind of clothes dryer for doing laundry diesel powered dryer
what i haven't seen anyone do is use the heat of the exhaust to somehow generate energy so it can run itself or charge the power bank
Help! hi David could you help me out with some advice i have now had 2 x 5kw heaters from Hcalory. They run for i night then the pump fails every time. its been set up as my previous heater that ran near enough every winter evening for 3 years no issue. Hcalory has dreadful customer service and wont refund my money!!
How do you get "smart mode" to work from the temp inside the tent when the heater is outside?
Exactly. It should have included a nice long extension cable for the controller.
Hello David. Jon from Scotland here! Great video. The link to the App is dead. Do you still have the APK to post on Dropbox or somewhere? I need the new version of the app, the one on Android play just crashes and everyone is complaining. Your help would be amazing! I've tried Hcalory but no reply. Thank you!
I've put it on my site - davidmcluckie.com/download/hcalory-heater-app/
These would be great to send to Ukraine. But anyway I've watched all your videos on these. I wish you wouldn't have bypassed the 50/50 mix oil diesel. Vegetable oil you know that wasn't going to work. I'm a mechanic. Currently injured so keep up the good work. And fun
We might end up back at waste engine oil, it's just a bit illegal to burn here.
