Chinese Diesel Heater 8kw Review

Chinese Diesel Heater 8kw Review

This chinese diesel heater 8kw is an economical alternative to expensive Eberspacher and Webasto heaters. It warms the cab quickly and is very easy to operate. It consumes only 0.2 – 0.5 l/hour at the lowest setting. We tested it in our campervan and it heated it within 15 minutes from 6 to 20 degrees.

Installation is not difficult, the full set of accessories comes with everything you need to mount it. It has an air intake, an exhaust pipe and a remote control. It also has a display, on which you can set the temperature and timer. It is important to take care when installing a diesel heater. If not installed properly it can produce carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. You can avoid this by using a carbon monoxide detector and watching YouTube videos about installation.

The way the diesel heater works is as follows: a small pump pumps diesel from the tank into the combustion chamber. At the same time oxygen is drawn in and when the glow plug reaches its operating temperature the diesel and the drawn in oxygen are burned together. The heated air is then blown into the campervan (8). When starting, you may see white smoke and a strange smell, this is normal and will disappear after the first few start-ups.
