Looks like there is a short heating coil for the low setting (600 W) and a long one for the medium setting (900 W) then the two coils combined will be for the high setting (1,500 W). Interesting. This is better than to adjust current for heating setting. Love your work, by the way! Always want to take things apart since I was a kid to see how it works and try to reuse components. I have a box full of various sizes of screws, bolts.... just like yours but your parts are shinier.

Back in my early teens, I used to weld the oil-fins together. Two pieces have to be perfectly welded together with no holes in the welds. They have to be leak proof, and the welding has to have perfect penetration. Company I worked for back in those days (when I was younger),, made these type of cooling fins for this purpose, as well as for both hydro, and phone transformer cooling blades. Like this small set (seen here), they look the very same, except are larger in size to disperse, or give off lots of heat, to keep their transformers cool, while in operation. They are also all oil filled. Video brought back memories.

Kudos to you for telling the world to not throw things away needlessly. I have been trashpicking our dumpsters in our huge apartment complex for eight years. In that time, I have found about 5 to 10 oil heat heaters, including one last night. Wonder of wonders, with the possible exception of one I forgot to pick up later, every one of them worked! That includes the one I’m testing out right now, a DeLonghi model EW7507EBL. It heats up and it does not leak, but I cannot figure out the timer and the clock on it, which appear to be wonky. Perhaps that’s why it was thrown out. This is a wasteful shame as once I cleaned off the garbage goo, it heated up just fine with no leaks. I just now conducted the “tip over” test on it. It failed as it supposed to shut off automatically if tipped over. Perhaps that’s another reason why it was thrown out. But at least the wheels can all be pulled out so as to make it hard to tip over in the first place.

Most of the time it the over heat shutoff that has failed. You're not supposed to run them on the high settings. Use the 2 and 3 settings to heat up the radiator faster. The turn to low to maintain the room temperature with the thermostat set somewhere in the middle.

"Diathermic Oil": These type of heaters use highly refined mineral oils, which evenly fill the outer fins of the radiator as the oil is heated, so even when the heater is turned off, the fins retain heat longer to transfer into the air.

I think I'm going to do a series + parallel configuration and experiment with powering one of these at 70/80% of the design rating. Thanks for doing this. It looks like it should work fine. The heater's designed for AC, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work w/dc, since there isn't a transformer or switching PS anywhere.

I was curious about what a heating element in one of these heaters looks like and you show it well. Thanks. I found only one photo of one before watching this. So the short one is the 600 watt and the longer one the 900, and they look very much like the elements in an electric water heater. I looked up the difference in diathermic (heat transfer) oil and lubricating oil. Diathermic oil has a high boiling point (3x that of water) and a low freezing point, and the oils have other various properties as well. Lubricating oil has to be a certain viscosity for what it's being used for, and also what kind of residue it leaves as it is pyrolized (combusted without oxygen), which isn't a factor in a closed system like an oil heater.

Hazardous waste will take the oil but not the container and metal scrap will take the body but not the oil. So now I can take these crappers apart and recover the oil and put in the big plastic jug and take it to hazardous waste.

Our 82 year old friend died of dementia and we got his old heater (lots of signs of burning on it) that we had to dispose of. The metal recycle wouldn't take it due to the oil. I made a hazardous waste appointment with my city's trash. They wouldn't take it because of the oil. They said they take metal and they take oil but not together. So my husband and I took it apart and drained the oil. (He used one of his plumbing pipes to get off the knob.) I have emailed Delonghi to find out what kind of oil it is. They haven't gotten back yet. Some places say it is mineral oil. I've made another appointment for hazardous waste to dispose of the oil. We are going to take the emptied metal to the metal recycler. They may or may not take it according to someone on the phone. Geeze, I've had this thing for 8 months and it wasn't even ours, and it is so hard to get rid of it. If the metal recycler won't take it, I'm going to take it with the oil we got out of it and hope they take it all emptied out. Last resort would be to put soap and water in it and try to clean out the residual oil and hope someone will take it. But then I'll be dumping that in my yard. If it's mineral oil, maybe it won't be too bad.
