Chinese Diesel Heater.. 5Kw Heating my house! Super economical!

Описание: 👇👇Parts list below👇👇

A quick look at my installation of a Chinese diesel heater.
Only been in for 3 weeks (Still have some tidying to do)
I originally installed using fresh outside air but after a week i changed it!
Pulling in fresh air is good but when the heater is not in use, there is a draft coming in because of the open vented system. One solution was to close the vent when not in use but would interfere with automation. The vent would have to remain open so that a timer could be used.
I also found that when the temperature is below freezing outside the heater has to work harder because the input air was so cold. (Burns more fuel)
The following weekend i cored another hole and recycle the ambient room air through the heater and it made a huge improvement.
Firstly no drafts! Secondly on startup its not blowing cold air into the house! Thirdly the heater becomes more economical because the input air is warmer 👍
I've found that running the heater on 1 is enough to keep the room warm and on that low setting gives me around 70hrs from 10litres!
* Correction*
Running cost Is around 23p kph (Sorry for the bad maths, I didn’t mean to deceive) Still cheaper to run 👌🏻

I intend to install a SwitchBot to automate the heater so that it can come on at different intervals and then can also be controlled with Alexa!
For safety I've installed Co meters and they constantly show 000ppm
