I have now seen a number of your Chinese oil burner videos ... I am at boat owner and an engIneer ... I simply LOVE your approach and humor ... keep on with it ❤️
I've seen a lot of your on the Chinese diesel heaters. I would like to thank you for all that you do. You've helped me tremendously. From James in Montreal Canada!
Being familiar with automotive water injection that are sprayed into the intake air, I would suggest using something like a spray bottle to get a fine mist into the burner air intake or even steam from a tea pot. Also maybe injecting the water before the dosing pump?
You just gave me a good idea. Folks are using the exhaust heat to heat water. Usually that's just to recapture the wasted heat that's blowing out the exhaust. But I can also see a possibility of making it create its own steam injection. 🤔
Yours looks super clean compared to what I've been seeing in mine! Had no idea how quickly these things can soot up inside. Mine basically completely clogged after about 3 weeks of constant use (24.7 basically.)
What about piping steam into the combustion air intake on the heater for 10-15 mins? would be pretty easy to do in lock down as its just boiling water?
Back when I lived with Aladdin kerosene lamps we would, when the mantel sooted up, shake some salt into the running lamp. We could see the soot being consumed fairly rapidly and soon would have a clean mantel. Also, there used to be chimney cleaners that were primarily salt in tubes that one would throw on a hot fire and the chimney soot would burn off. Perhaps some salt in the water would have a similar effect in the burner. I would love to see if it does.
The special chemicals used for soot removal are mostly composed of salt but not common table salt (sodium chloride) but ammonium chloride. I suppose it's more effective than NaCl.
Thank you for your videos they've been a great help, just curious if you've thought about injecting dpf fluid for cleaning the burn chamber ? Thanks again for the videos
Thank you for your enjoyable informative video's David Would you have any ideas why my deisel heater in my workshop has a burning rubber smell, run it 4 times same result.
On some of the heaters it has been known that the gasket on the base that would seal the case from the outside world is made of just plain rubber and not something more suitable. That might be it.
I'd like to see if adding HHO (gas from water split by electric) would clean the heater like HHO cleans engines? Also would an airline blast into the intake be effective?
Interesting test! I wasn't thinking of putting water in the fuel. Always goes with the air on an engine. I would like to see it go through the air inlet and over the course of an hour. The buildup takes a while to happen, the cleaning also needs a time to take effect. You need to give it at least as much water as fuel that made the buildup. In my engines I inject MORE water than fuel. To go with the water in the fuel Method, what about picking the water up through a tiny jet ( Hypodermic Needle) on the inlet side of the pump and mix the water with metho/ Alcohol so it is even less likely to put the flame out. That way you can give it some time to work which it needs. I think this test was too short and not enough water. A regular amount in the in air intake I think may produce different results. Good to see some testing of this though. I'm sure it CAN work given enough time and water. If a method could be discovered for making this work, it would be a boon for running these things on waste oil.
If you did it in the fuel on an engine you'd likely ruin the high pressure pump and the injectors. And the water did clean the heater, perhaps I was just expecting too much. I'll need to get the peristaltic pump and have it run for a longer period. Going in via the air intake would only clean the combustion chamber, you wouldn't have the steam clean the atomising mesh. It would have to find its way into the tiny hole at the glow plug. Flameouts don't seem to be an issue, I pushed most of the syringe in at once and all it did was turn to steam and then relight. I was impressed by that. Hmm, a waste oil burning system that injects water to clean itself might just work.
Mix some iPA with water (isopropyl alcohol ) because water and alcohol mix and then add it to your diesel , add some high quality white spirit too and then you have basically diesel injector cleaner and that will be your best chance . I have not tried the water part but often use home made injector cleaner in my burner and all my petrol engines (high performance motorcycle engines 2 and 4 stroke ) , the great thing about injector cleaner is that it emulsifiers any water in the system which is important for motors with carbs but that ability can be used in reverse to add water to this system , by doing this you will not richen up the mixture trying to inject with a syringe and get a hotter burn to help de-carbon the burner , well that’s the theory !
Instead of your peristaltic pump idea and lockdowns, etc., you could just wire your normal pump and your smallest pump to trigger at the same time, "T" the water output into the fuel pickup (pre-pump), and it would give a fixed ratio of water to fuel. You could also use a switch to turn on the water pump only when you want its effect, and run the system as normal at other times.
Others have said that the normal pump would wear out quickly without the lubrication from the diesel. Although if you are only running it occasionally it might be ok. That's another thing I could try though. Thanks.
David great informatiive video as always.. i have a theory that you could try, could you capture more heat from the exhaust by putting the 22mm exhaust into say 2in exhaust pipe mounted vertically, in theory the gases will reduce in speed, transfering heat to the pipe which then radiates into the room, and would it be quetier from a 2 inch outlet,, could also incorporate a copper coil around the 2in to heat water ..
I'd have thought a trigger spray bottle down the air intake would be the way to go for this, but whether that would supply enough water before your hand got tired, I don't know... :D
Wonder how or if it would clean any better if you shift it to burn propane from a regulator “T’d into the fuel line? Propane has quite a high moisture content...
If I remember well, the water injection is not done in the fuel, but in the air intake. Maybe the best place to inject water would be with a syringe needle though the glow plug air intake hole (wait for the glow plug to switch off to prevent thermal shock to the glow plug.
I have seen water contaminated diesel fuel, and also oil. If the water is already mixed into the fuel itself, I would think that would have a positive effect on these heaters. They also make fuel additives that are supposed to incorporate any water into the fuel, just add a little water yourself. I think they are mainly just alcohol, and, or, detergent which will help the water and oil based fuel to mix.
I would suggest using a machine called hydroflex, all you would need to do is run the heater for an hour with the machine pointing into the intake. It uses distilled water to free up soot and carbon.
I have been using paraffin in my heater. Not needed to clean it after 3 years. Will running paraffin on your heater due the same as water to clean. Cheers from old George
FYI for those who don't know. Across the pond they call kerosene paraffin. The paraffin he's talking about is kerosene in the United States. In the US what is called paraffin is a thin liquid wax, don't try to use that.
@@johnwyman6126 We use Paraffin Wax to make candles in the UK. Thanks for comments. Many things are different across the pond to UK. Especially things to do with cars. Even electrical wires AWG and SWG. Imperial Gallon is different to your Gallon etc. Cheers from old George
Mix water and diesel at a 1 to 3 ratio with some dish soap foam it up and run it threw the pump into the burn chamber for 30 minutes or so that should do it.
What if the the water was tee'd in closer to the heater? Or possibly further away and use use check valves with a standard heater pump for both fuel and water and alternate them so you don't over fuel the heater and negate any possible cleaning that happens.
Does anyone know if the burning chamber would become like new when I would clean it in a ultrasonic machine ? I am selling Chinese diesel heaters but at the same time I am refurbishing used Webasto heaters. Would be awesome if we could get all heaters like new so we never need to buy a new one.
Try using premium diesel as they say they have cleaning agents mixed in.ie Costco diesel is premium and has additive to clean engine and is cheaper than any other standard diesel so nothing to loose cost wise.Would it clean all your current carbon away?
So... Finally took my heater apart after it wouldn't start at all. Did like 3 hours of research on youtube and online because I overcomplicate simple things. Find the burn chamber is fine, but months of running it at lowest setting made the start chamber look like a smoker's lung infected with grinder iron dust... Yep, carbon buildup. Anywho, used an entire can of carb cleaner and blasted the crap out of it while scraping the carbon with a needle file for half an hour or mor. Pieced the first gasket back together (temp fix ordered new one) and slapped it back together. Spent an hour and a half trying to light it. Wouldn't light. ... Aight started tearing it apart. I had stuck the rubber fuel hose on a mounting bolt jnstead of the fuel nipple because I was so tired... Fecc me silly, I need it apparently. And give me a smoke afterwards so I can sleep after all that. Love your videos man.
I have tons of methanol. As 'maintainence' Once a week i disolve 10 percent water in it and burn that....I haven't had my heater long enough to know if it is coked up/ if it works.. but it can't harm
I feel like you would have to inject water for an hour or so to clean all that junk out. Here's an idea... Use the exhaust to heat water (into steam) and route the steam into the inlet. Use a second fuel pump to inject the water. Or, use a second fuel pump to inject water before the original fuel pump. I'm curious if a single unit can power two pumps, or if it would be weak or burn out the circuitry.
@@TheWingnut58 I have heard several people say that, and even say that you have to run the pump in a certain position, but I haven't see any proof of this. I suspect this is largely nonsense / speculation... Perhaps based on the fact that high pressure diesel pumps in automobiles depend on diesel as their lubrication. I haven't taken one apart, but I highly suspect that these pumps are nothing more than a glorified solenoid, with a fixed displacement plunger that fits somewhat accurately in a bore. If they do wear out, I suspect that it is because people tend to cause the pump to pull fuel from the tank, instead of having the pump gravity fed. This would cause the pump to "suck" and and will cause a low pressure and therefore cavitation as the piston cycles rapidly...and yes, cavitation will absolutely destroy pumps. However, water would likely, eventually kill these pumps due to corrosion. If this idea worked for removing carbon, the information could then be used to design a more robust system. One of these pumps would be an "easy" way to test and figure out what rate of water, if any, would work to keep the heater clean.
using a peristaltic pump as you said and distilled water, could actually improve the life of the heater an stop them from needing to be cleaned as often
I wonder if You ever gonna pipe out the exhaust- You could run a good lenght of pipe to catch the heat going out but not too long to avoid condensation. And filter Your waste oil, try keep it just oil. I am rather against burning waste oil as we don´t know what nastyness that creates in turn when burned.
off topic - David of all the heaters you've purchased, is their a manufacturer you would judge better than the others, in terms of casting quality, gaskets and machining?
I've only had experience with the cheap end of the scale and they are all much the same. Planar is supposed to good quality but I haven't had any to play with yet.
Could you please stand well back, then inject the purest alcohol you can find. Then if you survive that, please inject some of your sulphuric acid stash.
These heaters are designed to burn kerosene, not oily diesel. If you want to burn diesel in these, set your heater to alpine mode, otherwise youll be coked up in a month.
When I disassembled my EsparD2 after 8 years I was expecting a carbon clogged mess. But, no! Only a thin layer of fine dust. Of course, the pre chamber needed decarboning twice, along with a new burner screen, but that is to be expected.
Curious... have you tried other cleaning agents, like lucas fuel injector cleaner? Love your little niche interest videos as I'm waiting for mine to arrive!
The best solution is just doing the famous 'mr muscle turbo clean' treatment on it, or seafoam. Fill it up through the diesel line and let it sit for a long while, then spray through with compressed air and off you go.
@@DavidMcLuckie I guess like anything, prevention is cheaper than the cure!. Every now and again I give mine an overnight mr muscle soak, so far i'm still on the same can and have done it 3 times.
Very interesting, I have modified mine to heat water only with a vw egr with a solar hot water pump with pg coolant that works great, I am waiting on 2 more mb egr coolers that I will duct from the hot air outlets to the mb coolers then run them in the same circuit as the exhaust heated cooler to a heat exchanger which will heat whatever liquid I need to be heated. also with a pump, can anyone recommend a reliable flow switch for the primary circuit and the secondary circuit out of the heat exchanger that isn’t stupidly expensive.. also is there a input to tell the heater to turn off or on without using the lcd controller?

soot is from too much fuel (lack of oxygen). Can you pump less fuel to clean up the burn?
Mostly yes. Not all the controllers let you adjust the air and fuel.

How about spray into the air intake?
How about trying running paraffin though the heater
parafin? im running min on it. aka lamp oil
Food dye in the water so you can see it?
A thought for another experiment on sooting up, would you be able to do a comparison using diesel heating oil, which claims to burn much cleaner.
That would be nice and easy. You'd just run the heater with both at the same settings and see what the CO reading was. Less CO would mean less soot.
What bout brake cleaner pumped in while running. ???
I sprayed some in the inlet of mine when it was running and it was very unhappy about it - It almost backfired? I won't do it again anyway!
