How a Fully Working Eberspacher D1LC Compact Should Work from www.Eberspachers.com

This example shows how a reconditioned or very good working Eberspacher D1LC Compact should run from start up to shut down.
They have been great heaters over the past 10 plus years, but when buying one of these. You really need to know it runs like this one!
So, ask your seller why it is for sale and does it smoke at all?
A prefect heater will start up clean from cold, No Smoke and the heaters exhaust outlet should be a nice brownish grey. A scrap heater is a waste of money if you purchase the wrong one?
When it comes to heat output (2.2kw), we still rate these better than the D2 in the real world as they keep the power on when you want it and don't slow down to a trickle of heat!
Power consumption is a little higher on start up, but when the glow plug is off. Then there is very little between them.
Fuel consumption is a bit higher, but you do feel the benefits when you want full heat with a real air throughput!
A 24v D1LCc on start up and shut down will draw around 15amps as can be seen in the video. So, Please do not be fooled when people say you only need a 10 amp 12 -- 24v inverter.
