- This is a quick experiment to see if i could heat up a normal radiator with the exhaust heat from this diesel heater. i didn't think it would work.. well... it worked, it got nice and hot.
nothing exploded or melted.
this is totally free heat, that would have just gone outside!
please send comments.
• Heating My Home with a... this is the other one that is heating the house.
PUMPING HOT AIR INTO MY HOME
I bought one of these for my garage, and then thought....... I could heat my home with this! So that's exactly what i did! It is working great pumping hot air into my home. It is keeping us nice and warm and super economical.
I have a carbon monoxide detector just in case, but you don't get any fumes indoors at all
.
I hope this may help you in some way. Even if it just makes an idea pop up in your head, of how you can heat your home in cheaper way.
Thanks for looking at my videos cheers Andy..... If you can be anything, be Kind.....

thank you so much. I have just been on ebay, and it took a while to find the same as yours. I had to change search to EGR coooler to find one that was not very expensive! but OK £14,99 paid This will be fun. I can't beleave it, I through away 2 radiators last month!
brilliant, good luck, have fun

Well done Andy, that breather is good to see and also good for topping up, setup is looking really good, this video should do well I think 👍
Thanks 👍
i am really pleased with how it went.
and thanks for watching and supporting me
kind regards andy
Well done, congratulations. In my tests, I got the best performance by getting the egr radiator as close as possible to the diesel heater . The larger the egr radiator the more heat is captured. I put two in series from an Iveco van. Greetings
thanks my friend
kind regards andy
Condensation coming out is a good thing, it essentially means you've pulled a lot of the heat out of the exhaust and the colder air can't hold the moisture content anymore so it condenses, I've got my exhaust running through a mini cooper s intercooler with a temperature controlled pc fan blowing through it, takes the 150-200c in and comes out at 22-23c so it's pretty efficient at extracting the wasted heat, I went this route as I don't have any need for more hot water
wow thats great
kind regards andy
It’s the great little videos like this, the experimentation, whether it be with heat exchangers, different fuel mixes or whatever, that keeps this little Chinese diesel heater fascinating.
Keep up the good work Andy. 👍🏻
hahaha, thank you my friend
i have a couple more ideas up my sleeve.
but thanks a lot for watching

🤔Now you're getting into a thermal battery with the water Loop and heat exchanger try using exhaust tape on the exhaust pipe from the diesel heater to the heat exchanger to transfer more heat from one heat exchanger to the other👍🌐✌
thanks for your comment , i am doing a similar project. and the tape will be a good idea. cheers andy
Hi Andy, thanks for sharing your experiments with us.
Just a little tip, rotate that small muffler on the end of your exhaust pipe half a turn so that the little drip hole is pointing downwards. You're producing a lot of water vapour and you need to drain it out before it will block the flow of the exhaust gasses.
thank you my friend

probs worth stocking some insulation around the hot air pipe before going into the exchanger, both for safety and also efficiency.

Absolutely love your tinkers mindset.
These are automotive parts tinkered into residential use.
In my experience I can hold onto 120f pipes all day, 130f a few seconds above that, don’t touch, that’s a quick 2nd degree burn.

David McLuckie measured about 600W available for capture, at full output of the typical ‘claimed’ 5kW heater. Condensing gas boilers claim efficiencies as high as (but probably less in practice) 95%. I doubt these heaters would achieve close to 95% efficiency if all the exhaust heat could be recovered but they might not be far off if set up properly.😊

Hopefully the steam is just ambient, from what I remember these egr coolers leaked, often overcooked by the turbo's by pass. A purpose made heat exchanger would be ideal and a worth while investment. At a guess if you pressure test your cooler you may find this to be the case and if so, if you could get one which is from a vehicle with low mileage before the overcooking occured you'd be on to a winner. Thanks, you redirected me from the last video. I totally enjoyed.

Wow really impressed , 👍 Cant help feeling that if you could feed the hot water from the exhanger into a smallish hot water tank, then you could heat that and then use the tank to feed more radiators.

@@andyfireblade I have just bought a door panel so I can take the glass out at the side of my French doors and fit the panel and I will be able to cut a hole in it for the warm air and for the warm water to feed my radiator, ( leaving the heater outside in a watertight box) I am looking forward to this project, I am going to try run a 5ft double radiator so I am thinking of putting the heat exchanger a bit closer to the diesel heater? don’t think there should be any problems but yes I will update :) thanks for the Videos 👍
I believe you can tune this system for better efficiency:
You have the fluids (water and exhaust) flowing in opposite directions, which makes for the most efficient heat exchange as I understand things 👍🏻. Just insulate the first exhaust leg (to the exchanger) and seal the liquid loop for more pressure.
I would’ve put the water pump on the outlet side of the radiator, on the cool/dense side. You could probably add another radiator with more water and not have to worry about the pressures being a danger, if you restrict the outlet(s) of the radiator(s) to really let the water dwell longer and cool more in them.
That you can hold the exhaust pipe after the EGR exchanger is testiment to how well it’s doing it’s job. I’d consider a radiant floor heating loop rather than a radiator, for smaller areas like entry vestibules, for this part of this heating system. (Does the muffler positioned where it is make much difference?)
hello my friend
thank you for your comments, thats some great tips for me and other people to see, and help them when they are building there own system. the muffler doesent do a lot really, its straight through flow.
have a great day andy
@@andyfireblade Gregory is spot on re water flow direction. One always feed the cold in to collect the last of the heat to be extracted - think, in your set-up the hot water passes the coolest gas.
I had thought about these ideas but never done them so its awesome to see someone have the same ideas and actually put them into practice, seeing it work it does make me wonder what capacity that heat exchanger has and how many radiators it could heat, because if it was lets say 3 then you could could heat 3 rooms at no cost using the waste heat and might be worth testing perhaps ? As for the pressure well its really a non issue, central heating systems in UK homes are actually designed to be sealed and pressurized even when cold its why all central heating systems have a water pressure gauge, they do of course have a pressure release valve in the event things get to hot.
brilliant.
i am glad you liked it.
and yes this is just a silly experiment, but it makes you think of the possibilities.
that red got really hot in no time, it could do more!
have a fab day regards andy
Have that kit where the CDH was before, then attach the 3m of copper pipe that you had as an exhaust, and that will scavenge a lot more heat. It's funny in a way Andy, as if you could measure the total heat you scavenge with the radiator and copper pipe exhaust as well, you may be getting more than the heater puts out itself. I think because the heat exchanger is so efficient, its water vapour coming out the exhaust because the gases are much cooler and thus denser...BTW, put black tape or a patch on reflective surfaces to use you laser thermo gun... :) Best wishes. Tony
thanks for looking and good tips.
best wishes andy xxxxx
Hi Andy, I've done a similar setup with EGR cooler and a central heating pump to circulate water. My question is that the radiator I have gets warm but not excessively warm, I have the egr cooler very close to the heater so using all the heat as possible from the exhaust gasses.
Keep up the great work 👍
great thanks mate
cheers andy
Burning of most liquid or gasious fuels releases at the very least CO2 and water. As the exhausted gases are cooled in your heat exchanger, they come closer to the condensation temperature. What you see coming out of your outside exhaust is almost exclusively the co2 and water vapor that is mixed in the air (air, or better the oxygen in the air is never fully used in the combustion) The temperature of the water vapor is cooled down enough for it to condensate on contact with the colder outside air and form small droplets that you see coming from the exhaust like smoke. The water vapor also condenses on the cold rocks as you can see.
A risk of using the exhaust heat and cooling the exhaust gases is that they cool down and water conses inside the exhaust tube or even the heat exchanger. The condensated water will be slightly acidic due to the reaction with the rest of the exhaust products and cause corrosion. If that happens inside the building you risk release of exhaust gas in an enclosed room. Obviously this will not happen short term but be very careful with these experiments for longterm use. I would consider placing the heatexchanger on the outside and run the heated water back inside.
cool, thanks for the comments.
great
kindest regards andy
I wonder if there is a coupling that could be fitted about 6" from the heater that withstands high temperatures like asbestos? That way it would prove heat is not being absorbed away from the burn chamber causing the visible vapour out the end of the exhaust, although it should really be water and the heat exchanger is doing a brilliant job. When cars start off in cold weather you can also see the water vapour coming out the exhaust to begin with and sometimes you even see water pouring out the exhaust pipe as the car pulls off. This idea is brilliant with the radiator and you could even put a small cistern on it instead of the tube with the funnel that way you could draw hot water off whenever you wanted and the system will automatically replenish itself.
great points . good ideas. cheers andy
You didn't link the water pump.
And why aren't you still using the rad on your system?
usually with radiators you want the hot water coming in from the top and coming out from the bottom hots the whole radiator equally and more efficient have fun experimenting
thanks for watching and your comment
kindest regards andy
@@andyfireblade Not usually for household radiators! Most are plumbed like yours. Only if the rad was mounted at 90 degrees would that be correct.
Great :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for the cracking videos you have made.
Do you think that you could run a bigger radiator or another radiator using this method?
Thanks
hey paul
thanks mate, and thanks for watching.
i really appreciate it.
yes it would easily take a bigger rad, maybe 2 or 3.
kind regards andy
Eventually your going to hit on something where you will be able to heat an entire office building with your experiment and this tiny heater 😅
The products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water. When the exhaust is leaving the system hot, the water stays as vapour. When the exhaust is cold, the vapour condenses and shows like it does from a cold engine, (bike or car etc). Like TheBigM10 says below, keep the pipe and drip-holes pointing downwards to allow water escape.
Thanks for the info!
Well done

Keep on tinkering, really interesting!
I'm thinking the heat exchanger is restricting the exhaust too much and messing with the combustion is the reason for the exhaust smoke.
Maybe it is important to you to heat water, instead of just a room ?
Edit: Only for heating a room, I was thinking of a regular radiator (or maybe better an intercooler) so you would have less losses -> less restricted exhaust -> better exhaust gasses.
hello my friend thanks a lot.
the heat exchanger is quiet free flowing, you can see through it. with a few fins passing through. great minds think alike, i have an intercooler here! ready to try.
have a lovely night andy
th-cam.com/channels/3sYHaAZtJI-vrD64K7Qe9w.html
@@andyfireblade The length of the exhaust can be a restriction on the combustion, it may be worth finding a larger diameter pipe to run from the other side of the heat exchanger, with a downward slope to allow condensation to escape, some small holes would help (as on a bike exhaust) though not if they're inside of the house.....
I think the issue was the length of the exhaust pipe after the egr cooler. Like a chimney on a stove, it’s not going to flow very well without a temp differential or breeze at the opening, with that length on the cold side, it probably wasn’t “pulling” the exhaust from the heater enough (It’s hard to explain, basically temperature differentials can be a flow restriction as much as more obvious things like corners etc).
Thanks for another informative experiment Andy. Interesting that you got steam from the exhaust this time. Do you think the Heat Exchanger was working so well that the exhaust after the exchanger was a lot cooler than in previous experiments and therefore wasn't burning off all the moisture in the burn process ? Or is the majority of the moisture is created by condensation on the cold pipe rather than from the burn process itself ?
hello reg thanks for watching and comms.
yes, now you mention that, you are exactly right!
the unit was doing its job and taking heat out and the last part of the exhaust was a lot cooler than before.
have a great day regards andy
@@andyfireblade Yes - the exhaust, if cooled below dew point, needs to slope away from the EGR.
good job, could you share which system gives more heat? whether the one with the EGR cooler or the exhaust gases straight to the radiator thanks
hello my friend
thanks for watching! the exhaust straight through gives faster hotter results, maybe too hot. the radiator was starting to tarnish with the heat where the pipe went in.
the egr was more usable long term, and you could run a bigger rad or 2-3 rads from it.
kindest regards andy

Turn your exhaust silencer the other way up there is a hole in the bottom to release condensation
cheers andy
The reason you have black smoke coming out of the exhaust is because the exhaust is too restricted. The burner is running too rich. You will end up cleaning out the combustion chamber if you continue running it this way. It would be interesting if you cut the exhaust ( and the intake ) to the minimum and then run your experiment again. Please keep us posted. Also, take the muffler off.
the smoke seemed to clear, i think it was the initial burn off.
it just has some condensation coming out now.
i total agree with you about restricting the flow though, that does affect the burn. i found this in another experiment that i did with a bucket of water.
you can see this and a couple more in my vids of the heater if you like.

I wonder should I get a car header tank does that have pressure releaf?
maybe?
Did you think to blow through the heat exchanger to notice how much resistance it adds to the air column? I saw previous comments in your other videos where people suggested that adding bends and smaller pipes etc adds resistance to the exhaust thereby making the heater work less efficiently and would encourage fouling up the internals due to insufficient combustion in the heater itself.
hello my friend,
good comment.
the heat exchanger is fairly free flowing . you can see through it with some finns in side.
and yes when i restricted the exhaust before, particularly with the bucket experiment, where i put some u bends in the exhaust. the machine doesent like it.
and your right it would foul up.

What do these heat exchangers do in your cars. The only thing we have heat exchangers for in the us is engine coolant to cool the oil in a big diesel, an oil cooler. Do you have AIR cooled engines with exhaust heat exchanger to Circulate coolent to a heater core.

kindest regards andy
@@andyfireblade Hi and thanks, so are your cars carburetor and they FREEZE open ,. I get warm air but what is the warm air do for the car ? We are fuel injected.
@@andyfireblade Andy the EGR coolers recirculate exhaust gases back to the combustion chamber, not only to improve warm-up, but also to improve the efficiency of the engine by reducing the burn temperature and thus also reducing NOx emmissions. Diesels always run with excess air in the combustion process.
Have you thought of using an intercooler off of a small 4 cylinder car with fans behind it? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like it would simpler and more thermally efficient than heating water.

A very interesting project.
The heat which is lost from the exhaust of those heaters seems enormously wasteful, so your project is very interesting indeed.
I suppose, like a modern condensing boiler, effectively cooling the exhaust by grabbing some of the heat from it must reduce the exhaust gas's ability to retain moisture, so my bet would be that you'll be producing some fairly acidic condensate.
Couple of questions though...
1. Your pump seems to be wired directly to a lightswitch. Is this fed from a fused spur somewhere? If not, and that's straight onto a ring main, you need to swap it for a switched or unswitched fused spur.
2. Why is the lightswitch which the pump is connected to, mounted upside down? In the UK, lightswitches and socket switches should be ON when the bottom of the switch is pressed in - yours seems to be upside down.
Yea I wondered that too. But I think it’s 12v. 10W. But being a spark I would be arranging things differently but I think this was done in quick time on his day off today. So things can be sorted tomorrow. ✌️🙏✌️
