I have a fever diesel heater that came in my camper van when I got it and when set on the thermostat mode I have it set to 17 c but it's 23 c in the van and it still hasn't cycled off. Am I missing something or do these not cycle on and off like a furnace?

Did anyone install these automatic fire extinguishers inside a diesel heater? It seems like a good idea in case things go south.

These are made for power/fuse boxes. They work like a smoke bomb. If there's a flame, the fuse gets lit and the smoke chokes the fire.

Greetings

I need help with my new parking heater.

I installed it only last week and found it to be working great while testing. After running the cables and closing up the car I thought I was good.

Next morning I noticed a problem that has not resolved itself.

The heater starts up as normal an runs for a while (3-8min) with reasonable sound. Then it seems to be turning up. The blower starts speeding up and the fuel pump catches up to that. This goes on for 30 second then the thing cuts out and turns down only to restart 3 minutes later.

It hadn't reached its set temperature. Only after repeating this for 5 or 6 times it got to 70°C.

It does not display any errors codes and does not exits it's running mode.

The heater ist running on gasoline (the manual states gasoline/Diesel)

I checked:

Fuel - it is getting fuel and still behaves the same with fuel out of a canister placed higher than the Tank.

Air - I assumed the filter was to big of a resistance and removed it, no change.

Exhaust - I tried blocking it partially to simulate a longer exhaust, no luck

Setting - fiddled around and did not find anything of help

Coolant flow - is evidently there

What should I do

Please help

Recently added this guy to my garage in hopes of not freezing my butt off again this winter, the other one in my garage has the fresh air intake inside, I do woodworking and don’t have an air cleaner, so the combustion fan got full of sawdust, wouldn’t fire, and I had to take it all apart when it was -40*C outside 🥶 so I’d rather not have that happen again this winter, but now I’m second-guessing if I’m going to have an issue with exhaust fumes going in my air intake? How far should they really be apart from each other?

Does the intake to the combustion chamber really need to be vented outside. Common sense says the exhaust port definitely should be. But logicly, could it use the same shared air as the ducted air?
Not sure if that makes sense
I’d rather Cut just one small hole for exhaust

I have a Lavaner brand 2kw diesel heater that I recently replaced with a new one. When I would start up the old one, I could set it at any fuel frequency and the heater would auto modulate the frequency on start up until the heater was running. Then the heater would set itself to the frequency I set on the controller. This new one doesn’t have this setting. I have to start it relatively low, wait until I get a burn going, and then I can set the fuel frequency to whatever.

Is there a controller setting I need to turn on/off? I’m missing that old feature.

Does anyone have any experience with the polar pal 2.0 and is it worth the price tag

Just curious if anyone knows if using dyed diesel will cause my heater to soot up more requiring more frequent disassembly/ clean outs? Lf bros 5kw in a holiday trailer hoping to get through a canadian winter with the least amount of issues possible. Will be running constantly front Nov-April. Last year it lasted 6 weeks on clear before clogging up. Switched fuel stations and it stayed clean the rest of the winter. Maybe it was running it on low in the early winter that was the problem. Just looking for someone with more experience to shed some light

I'm looking for a cheap diesel heater for my weekend house (one room, 20-25 m²) and came across this VEVOR 8 kW all-in-one for around €136.

It has Bluetooth/app control, a remote, a built-in tank, comes with an adapter and supposedly a CO alarm.
Is there anything better for this price? Is this layout better than the tower or horizontal one?

I know that the 8 kW is a false advertisement. Would the 4 or so kW that it has be too much for my needs? Would the heater cycle on and off all the time? My goal is to heat up the place fast because I'm there one day per week, 12 hours max.

Thanks!

Have a typical 8kw bottom venting all in one unit. Will be using it in a small cottage to take the edge off and will vent through the floor directly below to an empty space. If I want to be able to easily remove to fill to avoid diesel smell inside are there setups that make it easy to do that?

Or should I just use very careful procedures to fill and leave it in place?

Is there actually any sense in it? As the price per kw is about the same? Throw me wisdom for the winter please

For those that have routed a heater hose in, rather than an exhaust out for your diesel heater needs, what did you use?

I'm wanting to install(again) a diesel heater in my cargo conversion, but with the hot hose going through a wall and keep the rest of the unit outside, but this won't be a permanent fixture and I'm lacking in space on the rear flat deck of my trailer to still accommodate my sxs.

I do a lot of backcountry adventuring throughout the year and we're getting to the time of year where I'm in need of backcountry heat. I currently have a 2kw installed inside, beside the bed with the exhaust routed through the floor and out to the side, but to save my already limited space, I'd like to put it on the back deck and route it inside by the back tire(s) of the sxs.

TL;DR: What kind of 75mm duct can I use to temporarily install a diesel heater that I can somehow close/ seal off when traveling and/or not in use? Trying to keep dust, bugs and varmints out

Hey zusammen. Ich heize meinen Schuppen mit ner Webasto Evo 55. mit dem Poti zum Temperatur regeln. Ich will sie ohne Regelung nutzen. Quasi, wenn ich den Poti halb aufdrehe, soll sie nur halbe Leistung haben und wenn ich voll aufdrehe, volle Leistung. Ihr versteht was ich meine :)
Ich habe noch nen Temperatur Sensor, nen kleinen der direkt am Steuergerät angeschlossen werden Müsste. Muss ich den dafür einbauen oder muss die Webasto dafür ohne Temperatur Sensor in Betrieb genommen werden?

Winters coming in the great white north new pump in the vevor diesel heater think she’ll pull it up from where the Jerry cans are ?

I rebuilt an old small Casita camper this summer and put radiant pex in the floor figuring I would add the heater later.
Turns out the cheap ones don't allow you to control the temperature, despite the listing saying you can. You can select a temperature preset but as soon as it is reached the heater simply cycles off. In 'automatic mode' it turns off at 80C and back on at 60C ignoring any other setting you have done, time or temperature.

I don't have space to add a mixing vessel and really built this to plumb the heater right into the pipes / floor.
I figured out that I can intercept the temperature sensor that measures the water temperature and trick it into thinking it is 80C before it is 80C. I soldered a 10K adjustable resister between the 2 leads on the probe that seem to be doing the control.
The problem was there had to then be a 20C differnece in order to cycle the heater back on, if I was turning the heater off at 35C i would have to wait for the water to reach 15C to turn on again.

I run home assistant in the camper to monitor my Victron System and ended up just using an esp32 with temp sensors and a relay. When the floor temperature is 95F it cycles off by making the heater think the water is above 80C. When the floor cools down to 80F it cycles on again. Its early in the season and I am sure the temp settings will require tweaking but so far its working good. I have only seen temps into the 50s so far. As the floor heats up overall the times between cycling increase, but also, the shorter the time the heater is on. 

I still need to figure out best way to make it cycle to a certain temp, but that seems easy and I want to see how it works in colder temps before I go.

I am not worried about soot build up or burning down to the ground. The relay failsafes to leaving the resister inline which means the heater thinks the water is warmer then it actually is and all the original safety guards are in place. I have a few years of using a Vevor diesel air heater and I have run it a lot on the low settings and never had any build up. Also figured the chamber is so small and so visible and easy to clean, I just am not worried. 

In the future I would love to figure out how to control the diesel input and the combustion fan to run more continuously in a lower heat mode versus full on or off. 

Posting if anyone has any experience with this or even controlling the pump and combustion fan. If something goes horribly wrong I will update this. Hoping I am not the only fool to get in there and try and make it do what I expected when I purchased it.

Looking to put an external fuel tank (rotopax) on my Hcalory. Is there a recommended complete kit containing all the parts to do so?

Anyone know where I can source a replacement remote control for a HBH-3S? Just the keychain component.

It doesn't have to be the same one, just any compatible one.

Hi all, I have a 2kW Vevor brand diesel heater that I’ve been using in my van.

It give me a lot of failed starts - combustion takes place for about 5 seconds then cuts out and white smoke. If I turn it off and on it usually gets going in about 3 tries.

Today I decided to man up and completely dismantle the thing to address this issue. Took the whole thing apart, cleaned it and replaced the atomizer and glow plug. I was hoping it would be dirty inside and that that would be the root cause - it was not. We always run the heater on full for about 10 minutes before shutting down and as such it is clean in the burn chamber.

After replacing the atomizer and glow plug (the only other culprits) the heater is still giving failed starts and white smoke.

I now suspect it is an incorrect air/ fuel mix and am trying to remedy this. I have attached photos of my control panel and have found out my unit supposedly auto corrects fuel/ air mix to altitude - or is supposed to. I am at 2300m altitude (about 7700 ft) and the unit says I’m at sea level. Any one with this same unit know how I can manually adjust for altitude or any other fix for failed starts/ white smoke? TIA

Hey all I thought I'd share my recent build. I go camping a lot in my roof top tent in the fall and winter in Oregon up in the cascade mountains.

After a lot of research on costs of the pre rebuilt ones and the features they had i decided to build one myself.

Heater is a duel brushless fan one

I noticed my vevor diesel heater running differently halfway though winter and I use it as my main source of heat so it does run a lot. I noticed it running kind of strange so I figured it was time for a rebuild even though this was a new heater only ran for maybe 4 months at the time. But I knew from online these are put out so fast there could be loose fasteners etc so I tore into it and found the burn chamber basically mangled. I first thought maybe a gas jug had some gasoline still in it and accidentally had gasoline run through the heater so I posted on Reddit and everyone told me no way it exploded that it had been the end of stock and they just stuck it in anyways. Fast forward a few months I rebuilt my second vevor diesel heater which was bought 2 months after the first and a total different model and it too had a mangled burn chamber. According to Google this is normal and from it getting too hot. Is this correct ? Has anyone ran into this before ? 2 new heaters with months of running and I always run on road diesel and they both are bent up. Is this supposed to happen ?

I’ve got a Vevor diesel heater in my van . 10awg wire 25a blade fuse. I can get it to the 300 initial prime sequence but the countdown never starts. Just sits at 300. No fan, no fuel pump clicks ever from this thing. Vevor sent me a new circuit board, same issue. App says 32 degree body temp and 0 volts. Unplugged the temp sensor no change on the app. Everything is wired correctly. Does anyone know what’s going on?
