Lidl sells the CO detectors for 9.99EUR, with all the german TUV certifications! (I think in this situation a CO detector is more important than a CO2 detector that you bought... CO will kill you long before the CO2 reaches dangerous levels!)
Oh, and the amp clamp you used only measures AC amps, you would need a slightly more 'expensive' one with a 'zero' button that can measure DC amps... The value you measured is meaningless sadly... just FYI :)
I have one of these heating my shop. Its awesome and cheap. One thing I would do on your setup would be to switch the exhaust and intake pipes around, that way you would recover more heat from the exhaust on the long run of pipe through your shop.
@@White000Crow he meant you can lose utility power, not battery power. It needs battery power to run the fan. 10 to 40 watts for the fan to go. 135 watts or so for some minutes to warm up. At 12 volts.
@@fitybux4664 I ran one off a power supply and after about 6 power outages it’s no longer running. I’m now on battery backup and the heater has been flawless. After doing some research I’m certain my atomizer screen is gummed up and that’s why it will no longer start.
@@White000Crow that sounds probable, yes. Time to tear it down and repair if you're into that. Otherwise, they're around $100 and might just be simpler to replace. Definitely run it off a battery, definitely let it do the cooldown cycle. In some cases, it is possible to clean the heater without disassembly, by running the heater on high using Kerosene instead of Diesel fuel.
@@fitybux4664 I have 5 of these heaters already. I’m keeping the clogged one for spare part since the new unit I put in has a different controller. I have 2 of these new units so I can swap them out quickly and repair the unit that’s down. I just rebuilt one because the bearings in the motor were full of dust and failing. New rubber sealed bearing should last longer and I added a little more grease to them just in case.
Great score Andris! If I may make a suggestion that’ll help you see the work rather that the workspace when welding. A simple led headlight you can find anywhere for cheap, just remove the head strap and velcro the light to your helmet. It’s nice to see what your welding, now I can really see just how much grinding and paint I’ll need afterwards lol. Thanks for taking us along✌🏼
HI ! I love your videos ! The laud clicking sound you hear, is from the fuel pump. It should be much quitter, but it probably echoes thorough the mounting you pressed it in. If you open the box and try to isolate or soft mount the pump, it will probably run much quite. Good luck, Noam.
Fantastic Ants, now you have decent shop heating. I prefer a woodstove over a diesel heater. But woodstoves need a certain setup and they are a hazard that needs constant attention. So in your setup a Diesel heater is better. Also having a diesel heather is very good to heat up tractors crank case and gear oil, when it's super cold outside.
My friend installed one in his shop ,he ran the exhaust through a flat domestic house radiator ,the exhaust heated the radiator as it passed through it
You're situation is perfect for a wood-fired boiler. The stream is right there. Just for the Shop. 2 or 3 radiators from junkyard, a well type pump. Fab a firebox with a water coil inside. All housed in a separate unit outside.
Feel like I was stuck in a hole this week. I tune in on Friday to my favourite You Tuber only to find that I missed a mid week release….what a bonus! Great to see your fabrication upgrades and finally some heat for your shop. I must admit I’m cold watching you work in your shop during the winter. The heater seems to put out a decent amount of heat for such a little box. A small fan on low will distribute that heat around your shop nicely. You don’t need your shop 22 C, just 15 C would be very comfortable in your work clothes. I look forward to seeing how your heater works @ -20 C…..normal Canadian winter temperatures.
I have one of these in my workshop also. I used to run mine on regular diesel which was really expensive. Then I did some research and found that you can run it on Kerosene which is half the price. It works fantastically well unless you run it flat out for hours and it does seem to drink a lot of fuel. on anything 2.5khz and down it just sips fuel slowly.
Home heating oil is the same as diesel, minus the dye and taxes. There are places (my local gas station in my case) that sell HHO by the gallon, and I was getting it for less than half the cost of diesel. During a warm winter, it was $1.79 / gal. Fill up two 5 gallon jugs and it lasts quite a while. A friend of mine was further stretching this with waste motor oil, which I think had to be (or should be) filtered first. I think it was a 50/50 mix, but I know he was getting away with 75/25 waste oil to hho/diesel. Might be worth looking into. It will be a bit stinkier than kerosene. The super clean kerosene that comes in gallons from Home Depot and Lowes goes on clearance at the end of the season too, so keep an eye out. I think it was $9.98 a gallon originally, but I got 21 gallons for $1.98 each like 2 years ago.
I have the same heater in my shop and frist i installed it at one end like you and found other end lot colder so installed it in the middle of the working area now heat gets to each end work area is nice and warm the ends are colder when working just work faster
To get better heating in other parts of the shop try a normal fan to circulate the air a bit. Also if you run a steel exhaust pipe to the same place as the intake you will get some extra heat from the steel pipe. Only problem you might have with extending the exhaust pipe is that extra back pressure might effect the burner but it should have something in the manual.
I just started watching your videos and I love it. And instead of seeing someone getting everything done right immediately, right off the bat, you run into problems, and then more problems. I laughed because that's what I usually do. I literally hate watching people on youtube who go showing themselves doing something right without any problem throughout the entire job, when you know damn well they had to have had a problem here or there, even the best of us. Thanks for showing me about the heater. I am ordering myself one today.
I think I would Mount the heater as low as possible in your shop because heat rises that would give you the best benefit also it would make it easy to fuel just my two cents and I enjoyed the video
Yep- HVAC 101, Warm air rises cool air drops. Seeing these diesel heaters on several channels. Would like updates relating to freeze/thaw cycles hence frost/rust on tools etc…. nice video!
I love the sound of frustration about the stupid tree............. Great to see an actual real work video, not one that has been practiced a million times.. I have one of these heaters, They are great!
Good stuff Andris! I have a similar heater in my un-insulated wooden workshop, and it works a treat, you'll really see / feel a difference using it this winter! I am just getting caught up after spending a week in the sun. 33c in Gran Canaria, 8c here at home in UK. :(
By the way you can mix old diesel transmission oil and engine oil and pass it through a 10 micron filter as fuel aswell as long as its liquidy enough to flow itll burn it just make sure its filtered first
Hey buddy! Vevor sent me one of these as well but mine has the one with the external fuel tank and pump. A few tips: one I would put a long pipe on the exhaust like you did on the intake and just the radiant heat from that will help warm the shop. Two I would just get one of those small cheap battery maintainers and hook it to the battery to keep it charged all the time. I noticed your fuel pump makes a loud noise on yours, mine is pretty quiet so maybe check yours and make sure there isn’t any air in it or somthing isn’t loose. Man your shop sure has came along way I wish I had one that awesome!!
Hi Andris, my friend has heater exhaust going through an old empty house radiator before it goes outside, surprising how hot it gets to heat the garage. Many thanks.
Hi Andris, if you need to drive a bent pipe etc , clamp a block around the straight section and hit that. Hitting the bent section removes most of the effort as it flexes. Great video as usual Thanks Mark UK
Heat rises right. I would be tempted to mount the heat outlet lower down. As it is, you are mainly heating the upper half of the room. To be honest, I think you should have mounted the whole unit nearer the floor. It would have made it easier to fuel up
“Pretty sure them boulders won’t catch on fire”!! That’s funny man; also, I love the boulder work bench; so old Europe! Cheers from Washington State 🇺🇸!
I have a summer lake cabin with a split AC to keep the place warm in late autumn when I got an winterize it. Although it also has fan, it takes an awful lot of time to reach the order side of the house (it is only 35m2). I have a big fan to move the air around and it makes a big difference.
Maybe you could install a long piece of this large aluminium pipe across your ceiling, connect that to the heat output and build in two or three downward-facing outlets to better spread the heat around the room.
Actual startup current when the glow plug is on is probably more like 8-9A. CO/CO2 detector will tell you if the heat exchanger has failed; all combustion products should exit outside through exhaust pipe. You can get cheap powerful Chinese 12V power supplies if you have issues with the battery running down - And they have a pot to adjust the output voltage, which you could set at your battery float voltage of ~ 13.6. I like the battery though, because it will work even if your power is out. The smell will go down once the materials off-gas a bit more. You can also use a longer exhaust pipe inside to extract more heat for higher efficiency. Cool garage, I wish I had that!!
I think the longer pipe is a good idea, i also thought maybe to use a old soviet style cast iron radiator, but i am afraid if i restrick the airflow too much then that might be an issue
Awesome score and install Andris! Something to consider: while CO2 is bad for you, CO is highly toxic and will definitely kill you if the concentration is high enough, check if your detector can detect that one also 🤜🤛
The cheapest model from Vevor is like 100 bucks with your coupon 😯 Need to buy one right now for my shed then its ice cold and it gets very damp during fall. Needs a heater. Also you can run the exhaust trough some kind of heat exchanger like a radiator for even more efficiency.
i use the same in my new garage, and it works great! BUT.. On lvl 10 it uses a lot of fuel, i suggest you keep it at 6 or lower. it will still heat alot, and run for many hours. You can set it to degrees by holding the ON button while it runs, if you dont want the lvls (1-10)
My experience with trees that close to a foundation will eventually destroy the foundation, But that's for another video I hope 😊 Keep Em coming I love it
I enjoyed you episode so much. What a heater-bad boy! At least it will heat your workshop when the winter comes. Have a fantastic weekend Andris, I can’t wait until your next episode, we never know what’s coming!
I have a similar heater at my cabin, the exhaust gave me some troubles. The standart exhaustpipe is too small in diameter if extendet, this leads to overheating issues and carbon buildup in the burning chamber. I fixed this issue by taking the standart pipe and cutting it in half, the shorter pipe leads into an 2m long chimney that is 7cm in diameter. This has fixed all the previouse problems and has doubled the efficency. Before this fix the heater would display error codes every few hours and would need some help igniting.
The Battery is perfect. It needs power after you switch it off, to allow the fan to cool down inside.. A trickle charge charger will be cheap and is exactly what you need.
I would recommend going back in time and getting a coring drill as you can use an extension on them because they don't hammer. 700mm boulder walls. They do things different in Estonia!
Things were different in the olden days around here. It's the stones man. They are everywhere around here. Mainly on the fields you want to plant stuff. So, you collect them in one pile. At least the ones you are able to move (horse power back in those days). Than winter comes and cold makes the stones in the ground to rise over time. Picking stones every last season. This begins with the first dude who wants to make a field living in a shack thousand years ago up to today. And nobody is touching that pile for centuries because they are next to every farming field in the area. They have no value. Than some new folk come and want to build a new house. A stone house. Oh, what's that sitting in the middle of the plot? A big pile of boulders. There is no need to build this thick. But there's a pile of stones and you want to make it dissapear.
We have a few two meter walls in our house. I welded all-thread to a cheap drill bit to get the depth. (align the part by laying them down in an aluminum angle iron and clamp down on each part.) You have to pull out the drill quote often, or it will get stuck so hard you can only cut it of. Don't ask why i know that 😕
Damn looks like a stallion waiting something to happen….we have the same thoughts Andris…..at least keep your workshop warm. …..we don’t want you to get sick n miss all your videos….hehehehe…..goood design by the way….stay warm Andris!
Good installation Andris, I knew you would get a heap of use out of your new fabrication tools once you got them installed and I wasn’t wrong, heaps quicker and better result too I reckon, well done mate, as always, cheers for now
I have been interested in this heater for a while. I guess I just need to get one. I always put off projects in the shop due to the winter cold. Thank you for the video 👍👍
I just installed a commerical 15kw electric heater. it pulls 70 amps at 220v but would heat your entire shop from -4 to +20 in 30 minutes. at our KW/H prices, it costs me $2.14 per hour. i also have it thermostatically controlled. so mine kicks on for 5-10 minutes every 40 minutes to maintain the temperature. I got the heater at an auction for 300$, 0/2 3c wire for 150$ and bought a thermostat for 65$.
You can extract even a bit more heat from the exhaust duct by some DIY contraptions, like an old metal intercooler and fans(s). Seen some conversation about it around some forums.
This is some funny stuff! I wonder what my fart would do, probably set the thing on fire or something. lol - gave me a great chuckle - and great work on the install - subscribed!
Great job as always Andris. Just one worry: I while ago I had a nasty experience with my diesel heater while using an air extractor like the one on top of your welding table. Since, I have got a carbon monoxide detector but haven't found a permanent solution yet,I just avoid using both at the time. I thought I'd share this with you just in case. Keep up the good work.👍
Have a great weekend everyone,
PS: if your interested about the Vevor diesel heater, check out the description for a link.
Thanks, I'm loving the cabin renovation

it should warm the stone wall on the exhaust wall, because it was so tightly fit, pressure and hammer fit
@@jasonmacdonald5468 yeah the stone gets warm around the pipe.
It looks hard to install when pipes come out at the bottom.

You could put them both into box filled with fine sand which conducts heat well.

All good. Already looking for a radiator 😅👍
It looks like you bought a CO2 detector which is very good, but you'll also want to get a CO detector.
Got 1 of that also 👍
I love that clock!
cheap made in china clock. so far it has been working fine by some miracle though
Co2 is heavier than the surrounding air so it will sink. So I suggest placing it fairly low on the wall
the big black floppy thing directs your heat, as heat rises you stretch it and point down
love it. greetings from Tyrol
Hello there!
i use the same in my new garage, and it works great! BUT..
On lvl 10 it uses a lot of fuel, i suggest you keep it at 6 or lower. it will still heat alot, and run for many hours.
You can set it to degrees by holding the ON button while it runs, if you dont want the lvls (1-10)

Came here for the diesel heater, stayed too watch a hole get drilled in a rock
hahah

I have not noticed any of those issues yet. But if i do then i can try your method. Thanks for the heads up 👍
Thank you very much for the video. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
The Battery is perfect. It needs power after you switch it off, to allow the fan to cool down inside.. A trickle charge charger will be cheap and is exactly what you need.
Thanks for the laughter my freind
No problemo
Yes finally! Now you can work with lathe safely😂😂 im kidding im happy that you can heat your workshop and not freeze like ice cube in winter😂
Yes 😂
I would recommend going back in time and getting a coring drill as you can use an extension on them because they don't hammer.
700mm boulder walls. They do things different in Estonia!
Gotcha. I will ready my diy time machine. Gotta fuel it up with popcorn.
Things were different in the olden days around here.
It's the stones man. They are everywhere around here. Mainly on the fields you want to plant stuff. So, you collect them in one pile. At least the ones you are able to move (horse power back in those days). Than winter comes and cold makes the stones in the ground to rise over time. Picking stones every last season. This begins with the first dude who wants to make a field living in a shack thousand years ago up to today. And nobody is touching that pile for centuries because they are next to every farming field in the area. They have no value. Than some new folk come and want to build a new house. A stone house. Oh, what's that sitting in the middle of the plot? A big pile of boulders. There is no need to build this thick. But there's a pile of stones and you want to make it dissapear.
We have a few two meter walls in our house. I welded all-thread to a cheap drill bit to get the depth. (align the part by laying them down in an aluminum angle iron and clamp down on each part.) You have to pull out the drill quote often, or it will get stuck so hard you can only cut it of. Don't ask why i know that 😕
Rebar is strong enough for extension.
😂😂👍👍 ok i wont
The drill going through the wall looked like it was giving your shoulder a good massage 🤣🤣🤣
🤭
Damn looks like a stallion waiting something to happen….we have the same thoughts Andris…..at least keep your workshop warm. …..we don’t want you to get sick n miss all your videos….hehehehe…..goood design by the way….stay warm Andris!
😅👍
Congrats on hitting 40k subscribers
🎉
Good installation Andris, I knew you would get a heap of use out of your new fabrication tools once you got them installed and I wasn’t wrong, heaps quicker and better result too I reckon, well done mate, as always, cheers for now
Thanks 👍
what was the knocking sound? it seemed to have stopped
fuel pump
Your heater looks very happy and you're standing next to yourSwiss cheese column without your helmet!
Haha 😂
I have been interested in this heater for a while. I guess I just need to get one. I always put off projects in the shop due to the winter cold. Thank you for the video 👍👍
I just installed a commerical 15kw electric heater. it pulls 70 amps at 220v but would heat your entire shop from -4 to +20 in 30 minutes. at our KW/H prices, it costs me $2.14 per hour. i also have it thermostatically controlled. so mine kicks on for 5-10 minutes every 40 minutes to maintain the temperature. I got the heater at an auction for 300$, 0/2 3c wire for 150$ and bought a thermostat for 65$.
That's really nice to hear man, wish i had a solution like that. But there's no room in the workshop. I need to expand it :D
Nice video brother ❤❤❤
thanks bro
You can extract even a bit more heat from the exhaust duct by some DIY contraptions, like an old metal intercooler and fans(s). Seen some conversation about it around some forums.
Old radiator. Looking for one
My working week begins on Monday, knowing that Ants Pants Day (Friday) will soon arrive, but this week had two Ants Pants days!! 😊😊😊😊
Such a win 👍
Very nice, now for some more cabin renovations please!!!!!
More to come!
Love your videos bud! Keep being awesome!
Thanks Mike
Good video bro, enjoy your weekend!
You too
This guy is funny lol thanks for the laughs loved when the pump started ticking and ur reaction lmao
😄
That klicking sound is the dieselpomp you can hang it in rubber.
Ok
This is some funny stuff! I wonder what my fart would do, probably set the thing on fire or something. lol - gave me a great chuckle - and great work on the install - subscribed!
Thanks mate, it has been pretty awesome so far, love working in + 7 while it's -21 C outside :D so good. Never had this option before
Yep nice to have a heater in your Workshop👍😌 Also as a few already mentioned, you need a Carbon Monoxide detector
I have 😇 thanks
You did a good job but I have a tip. Run the exhaust out of the long pipe and recover the heat from it, use the short pipe for the intake air.
Gotta try that setup
Had your exhaust to the long pipe. You'll get more heat off your unit. Use the short pipe for your intake air
Thanks for the tip
Great job
Great job as always Andris. Just one worry: I while ago I had a nasty experience with my diesel heater while using an air extractor like the one on top of your welding table.
Since, I have got a carbon monoxide detector but haven't found a permanent solution yet,I just avoid using both at the time.
I thought I'd share this with you just in case. Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks for sharing
Since he is drawing his combustion air from outside, I don't think the exhaust fan will cause any issues.....
the south park train entering a tunnell sequence kept repeating as the pipe was hammered thru foundation LOL
lmao
