Any moisture problem with the exhaust having that loop ?

The 2 laser dots have to merge together to get a proper reading. Your using it too far away

if you had it turned around the heater outlet would of been further from wall 🙏

You are als. O taking the risk that your pumping carbon monoxide into your house.So I would definitely get a detector

I'm going to use some flexible dryer duct and put it around an extended exhaust (I already have both) and run a small DC fan at the bottom of the heater where the exhaust starts and split it off before it goes outside. I should be able to nearly double my heat output from 1 heater depending on the CFM of the fan. Easy and cheap way to increase output.

maybe a company could make a modern type of heater the main unit simply plugs into, and the exhaust outlet is the same as the main unit..something less bulky than the cast iron ones..

Great video... Only thing now is to get rid of that annoying fuel pump and replace with a quiet version.

The condensate from combustion is likely to freeze in the outlet from the radiator as it passes out side. At that point your foil tape will fail. Not long after your going to be incredibly sleepy perhaps the longest sleep

Interesting video, but read through the comments before you try this yourself. Safety First Guy's.

Good info! Thank you.

Its too bad the exit of the radiator is not on the bottom right. Then the hot gases would be flowing all the way through the unit instead of only heating the one side.

Bonjour, je n’arrive pas à découper du contreplaqué 3.6mm. Que me conseillez-vous comme réglage svp ?

Coiling some extra exhaust pipe through a steel tank filled with sand works better. Sand retains and slowly releases that stored heat and unlike water, there's basically no heat limit with it. Search for "sand battery". 👍

Measure in the bottom hot is raining up

I like your innovation, but that’s dangerous and going to be hard on that heater. You never want to push exhaust down, always up. That cast iron radiator will likely also plug up after not long.

Good job man, however I see one problem ! Your chain tension pocket is on the tension side , which is wrong , this will cause you problems ! it must be on the slack side . I would like to build one of these .

Nope! I just snake longer ribbed (like fins) stainless exhaust tubing sideways downslope (prevents accumulating condensation) to get more surface area to PASSIVELY recover more exhaust heat. These heaters run too rich, you have to get plateau mode heaters and manually lean out mixture. If your heater old enough same adjustments. Some new ones can't be adjusted. SUCKS.

Everything wrong with and everything you shouldnt do in this kind of setup is demonstrated here. Dude is a bafoon. Do not do any of this, this way.

You're using foil wrapped around the exhaust pipe to seal the pipe into the old water radiator? FOIL! And is the thread tape rated for over 100 degrees Cel? You using a Co2 monitor?

You inspired me to build a similar biodigester on my farm, this way, I will considerably reduce my gas bill, including, I will look for a gas generator to become completely energetically independent, combining gas with the wind and solar plants that I already have. Greetings from Portugal

Should have put the idler gear ⚙ on the slack side of the chain, but other than that, great job 👍

You really shouldn't use galvanized piping for exhaust because when heated it will off gas harmful vapors that also why you need a respirator when welding it.

Brilliant. The only difference I would do is put the tensioner on the other side of the chain..

That's cool

Exhaust should exit burner on a downward angle as condensation can block the pipe.

I would never buy such a noisy heater….love your idea, but surely there are quieter heaters…..

Please understand that most Canadians don't have his accent.....

Superb videoclip! Felicitări!!!👍👍 Poți lăsa te rog toate dimensiunile pe care le are afumatoarea?

We really need your advice teacher.

what about the hydraulic part?

My diesel heater after twenty odd hours was so clogged up with a soot/carbon deposit which it got running on a low heat for that long . , so I can only imagine how much of a build up your diesel heater has and you haven't serviced yours for over two years and then you add more problems to servicing by installing more restrictive modifications that you will have difficulty cleaning and of cause that is, IF!! you ever clean or maintain your heater unless your using some magic diesel fuel it will cause soot and carbon build up running at higher temps just as it would at lower temps so Yes the idea is good but the consequences are as I said and you could have used either steel or copper tubing to radiate heat faster and possibly use it for heating water as a side benefit. Cleaning wouldn't be as big a nightmare as the monstrosity you have there which you obviously didn't consider unless you don't like the idea of cleaning and maintaining your heater. Good Luck Mate!!

There’s no way this is 200 % efficacy, first thing you increasing the back pressure on “death gas” which is soooo bloody dangerous, also increasing back pressure reduces efficacy

What are these filters? What material should be inside.

Interesting video mate, why do you have the gas going against the flow through the filters and not following the arrows. Cheers Graham

Very good video s. Learn alot from you guys. Take care from Ontario. ❤❤

Hi there Did see it work 👎👎👎👎👎👎🇺🇸

That's a terrible soundtrack!

Could use a coil of any metallic tubing for the radiator and small fan to push air past it. Or the coil in a box and push output air from heater. Or the heat exchanger from a home furnace.

That is not a 200 percent efficiency at all. The exhaust gas can only heat a small section of your radiator, the bottom remains cold, indicating the hot exhaust gas flow is small. Yes, you are recovering a little more heat, but certainly not the amount you hoped for. To achieve a 100 percent increase over the 5 kW initial output would require another 5kW of exhaust heat, they do not waste this amount ever.

I wonder if you can recirculate room air to heat through your cast iron radiator. I mean holding the heat yes. However removing the heat into the room using other than natural convection.

Well, look what the algorithm offered up. In case you read comments from older videos, you should have at least one off-sight cold-storage drive, one on-sight, and a couple of warm-storage drives, and the working drive where nothing is stored. VOE. ;)

Good idea but what happens when its all clogged up

I liked (not "looked"... edited) watching you create this most handy device. My pasture is filled with river rock & our gophers & voles keep pushing them to the surface. I've only got a few undamaged windows left. Lol. It would have been more enjoyable for me without the music or maybe just set at a lower volume, because I struggled to hear & understand you many times throughout the video... just my opinion. Your implement definitely turned out beautiful. Very nice skills & finish work! I hope you're enjoying easier potato pickins.

what if you put a smaller radiator , like small car or motor bike boxed it up and made ducting so heater outlet blows through it duct ==< rad >== duct= =heater if that makes sense

You made a fantastic thing! Enjoyed watching

What a pointless video.

The set up in my conservatory is much the same ,with the exaust going through a normal radiator ,very little heat wasted . I dont know why most folks put the heaters on the outside,

Where is the 200% more efficient time stamp?

...meaning, if you can fit a kettle you will have hot water... nice one..
