Buy extra exhaust tubing and make a lattice out of it before exiting out your port to the outside. This will radiate tons more heat inside the home or building and the end of your exhaust will be closer to ambient temp as it exits the building.

Chair Force here, setup is 100% fine. If you want to improve, you could introduce a negative air OR positive air flow fan. Positive bringing outside fresh air into the shop OR negative air vacuum fan on the 4" exhaust tube. Get yourself a FLIR camera if you really want to see where the heat is. Other than that, Bravo and you've convinced me to buy one! Excellent review! Stay Frosty!

@Tom the Dilettante I actually just finished my setup of the diesel heater in the garage based on your advice and input. The Kao-wool is a must-have! I actually extended my exhaust and purchased the 150cm extension, put some cooling/radiator fins on it, and I have a little fan blowing air over it. Gives me a few degrees of extra heat and significantly cools the exhaust as well. Thanks for your review!

A guy could build a small enclosure outside along the back of the garage, to keep the unit outside, but covered. Then routing ductwork with a solid pipe (similar to what you would see with free-standing wood burning stoves in log cabins). The exhaust would be pretty easy as well. Awesome job on the heater review. Love the channel.

As mentioned, the gain in output by having the same air going into the exchanger as goes out is worth having it inside. You could simply build a small cabinet in the shop. I'd buy the one that's not self contained like this, that metal enclosure it comes with and small tank are a deficit, if you ask me.

My eventual plan is to use two of those to heat a small cabin, one in the living room, one in the bedroom/bathroom. A small solar setup will provide all the power, and a 50-gallon diesel tank set under the cabin (to aid in warming the fuel and avoid gelling) will provide the fuel. Based on observed consumption, the fuel should be sufficient for more than a month, when supplemented by the wood stove on very cold days.

Nicely done video that I found really informative and your presentation and detail hit the mark. I have been using a Chinese Diesel heater this winter in my 1,200sf shop and have been so impressed I just bought a second one that was delivered yesterday. My shop is very well insulated here in Colorado with temperatures very similar to what you shared in the video. I found that the diesel heater was not enough by itself so my strategy has been to use it for a few hours with a Mr. Buddy heater and then going exclusively to the Chinese heater that after about 3 hours hitting roughly 56 degrees or more on average. Today, I will setup the second Chinese heater and use it in place of the Mr. Buddy heater to reduce the fumes from using propane. To date, I have been very impressed with the diesel heater and am hopeful introducing the second unit will be the final touch needed this winter. Again, your style and degree of detail is very, very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Tom. Stumbled on your video on researching diesel heater. I’m an HVAC contractor 30 plus years. Please keep in mind that a flame will used up the oxygen in the occupied space, so if someone uses this method and sleeps in there then they would need fresh air coming in or the heater will used up most of the oxygen in the space and increase the carbon dioxide in the room and very low oxygen. So I don’t recommend this installation if you are sleeping with the heater in the same room. If you are just using it so many hours a day, then you should be fine. Great video..
@TomtheDilettante

Thanks for watching and chiming in! Nice to hear points of view from experienced and knowledgeable people. If I'm understanding your point correctly, perhaps I can mitigate this risk by running the intake outside as well. That way the combustible air is coming from outside and not inside which, as I understand it, (1) creates negative pressure in the room being heated; and (2) to your point reduces available oxygen in the room being heated. Have I understood that correctly or have I missed your point? :). Thanks for the help!

Hi Tom, I really enjoyed this video! Living on a very busy main road with direct connection to the Port of Liverpool we have (I am informed) over 600,000 vehicles per week travelling along a 4 lane highway within 20 50 yards of my front door! Between 20 - 40% are heavy goods diesel powered Heavy Goods vehicles! As you can imagine I am very concerned about noxious gasses from diesel engines, and NoX gasses in particular! Coupled with this is the distribution of harmful particulates which causes very serious lung diseases and long term damage - even at low absorption! Points to ponder - which we have done incessantly - some information we have found might add to the store of consideration 1. The gasses are heavier than air, and will always fall to the lowest point! 2. Nitrous oxides (NOx) will persist for approximately 150 metres from the point of exhaust! 3. These gasses will become deeper and more harmful where there is a canyon effect, or containment in an enclosed area! 4. The particulates produced are effectively in suspension above the gasses and will also dissipate over approx 150 metres ! The closer to the exhaust the higher the pollution and therefore health risk! 5. According to the researchers, and top level experts, it is worth noting that THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF AIR POLLUTION! Forgive the capital letters! 6. The heavy gasses being heavier than air always produce higher levels closer to the ground! This is why children and little ones are more at risk on heavily polluted pavements, or close to main roads! 7. In an enclosed space, like an RV, you must always have a drop-out hole, at the lowest point to allow the gasses to escape! We are all becoming more aware of health impacts of pollution from exhaust fumes, so you are absolutely right, in measuring the levels in your workspace, and advise people to protect themselves in whatever way possible! Your videos are excellent, and I love the practicality! I also hope this Input adds to the ever expanding knowledge base!

Thanks for watching and chiming in! I had checked out those thru hull exhaust fittings and almost went with one, but I wasn't convinced it would be good on a residential style wood and fiberglass insulated exterior wall. For all I know it's more than adequate and even better than what I chose to do. Just a gut feeling. If I were to install in a vehicle or boat, I would probably go with something like that. For an unused side entry door as you mentioned, this might be perfect if it's a steel door. If it's a wood or a wood core door, you may want to check how hot this kind of fitting gets before installing permanently. Prolonged exposure to 250+ degrees F may present a hazard. Just my $0.02. Refunds available upon request :)

I use the double wall exhaust vent to go through the wall.

Maybe run some metal pipe on top of exhaust, having one end (lower) to pull in air from outside, (think swedish stove heating) This might pull in more warm air while cooling exhaust slightly. Also, I am curious as to the tolerances of this machine, meaning fuel source, could you use biodiesel,or refined black diesel in it? Am guessing you would never try this yourself, but if any of your other viewers have, it would be interesting to hear results..

great video -I did this with my noisy air compressor in my shop, I built a box around the compressor and insulated the box to dampen the noise and it works very well so I am wondering depending on how hot the heater housing will get if a box could be built around the heater to dampen the noise in your garage. I am giving thought to trying one of these heaters in my 160 sq ft greenhouse for night time heat. The greenhouse is 8x20 with 76" of head room and no insulation. My winters are mild for the most part. One thing you did not cover is how many btu's of heat is produced by the heater and how many hours the heater will run on a tank of fuel. if you covered these items I guess I missed it. I am thinking raise the back window in the greenhouse about 4" to run the exhaust pipe out and cut a aluminum plate to close the 4" opening with a hole in the middle the size of the exhaust line.
