16 KW Chinese diesel water heater
มุมมอง 5K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
So here's my current setup utilizing a 16 kw Chinese diesel engine block preheater. This whole idea came about after the -14 degrees lows we were having last winter and the smaller 5kw heater not being able to warm the cabin up fast enough after work. this system is able to warm the place up much faster and is far more convenient with the addition of a smart thermostat which i can switch on an ...

Well it managed one night of operation then refused to relight properly i dont know what condition the heater was in before the test but the hv 46 certainly finished it off. maybe i need to operate at higher burn temperature.

That's a great torch, is it a Rothenberger Super-Fire 2 ? cheers
I noticed an arrow mark on the back the fan when removing, not sure what this is for but glad to see it didn't feature in your video ..
Nice demostration
These are kind of toys. Electric engineer told me that if u wan't 24 volts and 250 watts u have to 2 meters long blades and mechanical brake to it when it get too windy. He had one made centrifugal adjustment for blades angle of attack. He calculated blade and wind speed and when wind got too high the blades angle of attack changed according to that with centrifugal force And there were a centrifucal brake too, all made from car brake waste parts.
Mine work somehow at the beginning but something happend. I measure 50 volts ac when it was new and after 4 years 9 volts (24volt system)
You should look at the wiring soldering inside the tape as well.
The coil is made from aluminium- no chance to solder them - I did try to change parallel to series to make a bit higher voltage
I wish I knew about this junk before I wasted money on it .
Good honest review I have the same problem. A glorified toy total rip-off good on you Jameshow many people have waisted money on these I have .when I can’t get solar power I hook up battery charger which is more effective than this rubbish. Very disappointing in the whole product . Claimed to be 500 watts lucky to make 1/2 a watt even in gale force winds
Good honest review I have the same problem. A glorified toy total rip-off good on you james
I agree total rubbish very disappointing. I bought a small motor and generator which I can generate 20amps have to use speed controller to slow it down.
I get more power from my battery charger. When there’s no solar working I use a battery charger to supplement power.
24:50 She's gonna blow!!!!! She's gonnaaa **Ka-BOOOOM**
I appreciate the video but seriously you need to cut back on the caffeine ;)
Very noisy and a shambolic installation .....but if it saves money . A CH combi boiler has ironed out all the issues but for backyatd engineering and cost saving I can see your hearts in the right place .what with solar and the death trap battery bank this is British man in a shed territory and nothing much to be ashamed of. ...
You forgot the gasket for the burn chamber, without, it may have too much air to fuel mix as mine has a gasket as does all of them from factory. But going by when you did this video you may have discovered this or not. Hmm food for thought Mate Cheers
Hello. Voltage at Maximum Power (Vmpp)= 34.5 V Current at Maximum Power (Impp)= 9.59 A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) = 40.2 V Short Circuit Current (Isc) = 10.1 A I have 2 monocrystalline solar panels worth 330W... How can you connect these 2 panels to this MPPT 60A solar controller? With serial connection or parallel connection? Because I looked at the device information, it is 12Volt. It says that the highest 80Volt input can be connected for the battery (VOC). (my 12.8v 200Ah I have a LiFePO4 battery) So should I use it only with parallel connection? I was confused and wanted to get precise information... Thanks.
Open circuit voltage is zero load on the panels. So lets look at Vmpp 34.5V we can x2 and get 67 Vmpp well under 80v max for your 12v system. Connect the 2 Panels in series.
Would it not of just been easier to install a conventional central heating boiler ???? 😊
Broo this 5g era
You are making carbon deposits all inside your fuel inlet pipe. Try using brake clean.
Looks like Sulphur.
Chinese stuff!😂 what were you expecting? Open tour eye$!! All that came from china is very bad! Even the air
Great video . Sods law you damaged the reticule, but great work really very greatful you educated the rest of us. Thanks from Berkshire England.
I also need to replace my glow plug but can't find it on aliexpress. Can you pls tell me where you bought your glow plug?
This video is a unicorn. You are the only one I can find using this heater design. Jeeze, sounds like a jet engine getting ready for take off. Thanks!
James, thank you for this video. I have the same issue with my scope (no vertical adjustment) and came here to see if I could diy fix it. I am sorry that your reticule broke but the information you give is timeless. I’ll give this a go this weekend. Thanks again from North Carolina.
Check your smd rectifier
Do you need any lightning arrestors for this
This video save me, my heater was starting to make a lot of noise and it was the bearings, completely toast. I bought a new motor and followed your instructions, working like a charm. It took me 45 minutes taking care of not damaging the fragile centrifugal fan. The black one came easily. My gauge for the centrifugal fan was 0.28mm, for the black fan I pushed it as much as it would allow me without rattling. Good as new.
Forget 400 watts. You're lucky, to get 40 watts out of it. A turbine generator like that would be a better match with a 3 blade rotor with a shallower pitch, so it can run at higher speed, with less torque. You can increase power by allowing a higher voltage, at that highly limited current. A pulse width modulator can be used, to turn the high voltage low current into a voltage suitable for your battery, at a much higher current, than is produced by that turbine. The problem with that 5 blade rotor is, it can never achieve the RPM, and it produces MUCH more torque, than those tiny magnets can ever hope to use.
руки из жопы растут...
Hope the replacement inverter is not the same brand.
Good morning, does this soldering station have a transformer inside?
did you re-commission this unit?
While watching this I opened my inverter and all those mosfets are burnt. It worked so well for a day. Damn.
Started using one of these yesterday. Already not working after using 2400 watts of water pump. Their manual says to use an inverter 3-4x the power requirements of pumps and inductive motors. I thought thats what the 8000 peak power rating was for.
Wich $ you paid for ?
80 pound is like 200 dollars?!
Would like to know if I can get one of those an ruff idea how much.. for my rig...hopefully there available. .
aliexpress and search for 16kw diesel water heater
Hello there, for that controller switch you got Inside there is two wires, red one you said has to be connected to +12v, what about black one, is this is neutral -12v?
yes, its used for the neagtive for the light in the switch only. handy for diagnostics
Great video, You have any idea how to make one for a Chinese deisel heater?
yeah those are quite a bit trickier. better to have some in stock if its your main source of heating
Hi friend! Can you tell me the model of the chip?
I want to do this on my CDH , but I'm thinking of using a full ceramic bearing . These same size bearings are used in many applications like roller skates, skate boards, luggage wheels , and so on ... There's a rating for these bearings called ABEC . So an ABEC 11 bearing would be a good replacement . Hopefully a full ceramic bearing will make the heater even more quiet .
WOULD,NT IT BE SIMPLER YOU HAD JUST WELDED A SMALL NUT . WHERE THE SCREW HEAD BROKE OFF .
What country is this?

👏 "Promo SM"
I don't get this. Why? Why upgrade to something not needed? Replace a faulty, sure. replace faulty bearings, sure. but I can't see any real upgrade here.
Would have been nice to list and source the bearings.

Berlin wall was still a thing then!
That was hilarious. Thought that maybe after you cleaned the screen that it would run. Must the fuel pump it not pumping the right amount of fuel. My guess.
