How Does a Diesel Heater Work
)
Diesel heaters are essential pieces of machinery for spaces that don’t have your typical heating systems, especially those that don’t hold heat very well. We commonly find workspaces such as sheds, garages, and workshops are some of the best places to utilise the benefits of diesel heaters.
Understandably, some are still unsure whether they need one. We find the best way to decipher this is by explaining how diesel heaters work, the benefits of their design, and how this fits into your space.
How a Diesel Heater Works
A functioning diesel heater undergoes a simple process. Firstly, the diesel is burned within the combustion chamber, creating heat and gas. This heat is then circulated to a heat exchanger, which absorbs the heat. Most generic diesel heaters will then use a fan to circulate the hot air around the room where the heater has been placed. An Airrex heater however takes advantage of infrared heating that warms the surfaces around it, i.e. the pipes, instead of just warming up the air. This makes Airrex diesel heaters more efficient and helps you heat the room for longer.
You may be thinking, “Where do the diesel fumes go?”. They are removed from the heater through an exhaust pipe that expels gases safely outside, ensuring that no harmful gases like carbon monoxide accumulate in the heated space.
Who Would Benefit from a Diesel Heater?
There are many reasons for choosing a diesel heater, especially the Airrex range we have here at Oxdale Products. Those who work in workshops or spaces with poor insulation, no internal heating system, or construction sites that are not fully airtight yet would all benefit from a diesel heater. Below are some reasons you should consider one.
Fuel Efficient
Diesel heaters are known for being fuel efficient. Since they run on diesel, they can run at full capacity for extended periods before requiring refueling. Our range of Airrex diesel heaters can run on biodiesel, diesel, and red diesel, making them versatile also.
Instant Heat
The only thing you’re going to want your heater to do is to be able to supply enough heat that warms you up. Diesel heaters are known for being quick to generate heat as the pipes begin to radiate heat. In a matter of moments, your diesel heater will be emitting heat.
Reliable in Cold Weather
Diesel is renowned for being the go-to fuel when the temperatures plunge. When you’re most likely to be using your diesel heater, you want peace of mind that it will reliably start.
