    Hi everyone - mainly Grantsyard and Van Life UK - thanks to them to explain "advance " programming after entering password code "1234". P & t is manual heat control or thermostat control, 1 & 2 is selection between 12V or 24V, H & L is 5000W or 2000W, last number is 1 - 16ml, 2 - 22ml, 8 - 28ml dosing pump. Today I tested my 5KW heater with this "spanner" setting button controller model - all perfect, on P-01 heater 175*C, exhaust 220*C, only two LEDs, on P-05 heater 190*C, exhaust 340*C, four LEDs, on P-10 heater 206*C, exhaust 490*C, six LEDs. A lot of heat out of exhaust - my intention is to make muffler combine with heat exchanger to heat water for additional small hydronic heater and shower in my mobile home as next stage. I hope that software is and will controlling fan speed & fuel dosing to good combustion without "manual" programming fan & fuel ratio as on older controllers. Personally - I'll prefer option for "manual" for case need to do it - going to top on mountains - do not know yet how this controller will behaviour. Good luck everyone, Vas.

    Looks fantastic! Love the methods you use for the beds and soil mixture! Our tunnel will be coming in next week, and I'm gonna definitely use some of your techniques! Up in the mountains of New York, we have just rocks and boulders, so it's impossible to plant in the ground, so raised beds are a must-have. I'm not sure if you have it yet, but I saw a lot of people install rain gutters on their polytunnel that deposit water right into their rain drum/barrel for maximum collection.

    When I turn the power on for my heater. I get nothing to set the clock just shows p12 which is voltage. If I press settings (top left and ok nothing happens. Which also means I can’t set the timer. Confusing to say the least.

      @@cliffhawkins2285 think it’s the model. Which means you have to manually turn it on and off. If you leave it on it does reduce the fan speed to control the heat but I don’t know what the temp is set at. They are a bit of a pain to be honest.

    you might could try a smaller barrel -less mass to heat might give you a higher temperature, I am going to start off trying a metal 5 gallon bucket with the exhaust coiled in the bucket and attached to the bucket inside with small pipe hangers so the exhaust pipe is toudhing the bucket. I am also considering stacking fire brick in the center of the coiled exhaust in the bucket. a small fan might help distribute the warmer air inside the building for a more uniform temperature

  • @stevemiller6766
    @stevemiller6766 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well better late than never I suppose... Great idea. That mass will give you a thermal flywheel to try and keep the temperature up for free in your work shop. If I ever get around to buying one of these heaters I plan on experimenting with a coaxial exhaust pipe. The idea is to put the smaller hot exhaust pipe inside a larger pipe supplying the cold combustion air. I think this would burn the fuel better since warmer intake air should vaporize the fuel better. The exhaust after that sent to your exhaust battery could improve things?

  • @PainterD54
    @PainterD54 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Looks like a well built unit and it came with the better fuel line so that's another good point! I like the idea of using the "oil extractor" on top of the tank instead of the cheap oil spiket that they use on the bottom of the tank which is suseptable to leaking. The control is simple easy to use when using just the 1 thru 10 to control the heater. I see they're out of stock, but there are plenty of identical heaters by other names that are all made by the same manufacturer at different prices, so just get the cheapest one and you'll have pretty much the same heater (but it may have the cheap green fuel line you will need to switch for a better one)
