A small diesel stove can be an excellent solution when it is necessary to heat utility rooms by the type of a country house or garage. In this case, you can resort to one of the options. The first involves the purchase of a factory model, while the second is an independent manufacture.
In order to carry out the furnace yourself, there is no need at all to prepare a huge amount of materials. A single gas cylinder or large diameter pipe will suffice.
Miracle Diesel Oven
A small diesel stove is characterized by low fuel consumption. For example, if the thermal power is 2.5 kW, then only 0.2 liters of diesel will be consumed per hour. The design itself has compact dimensions, the weight of some models is 10 kg or less. The design is quite simple, it consists of:
- metal case;
- open tank;
- fuel tank.
In order for fuel not to come out of the tank constantly, the outlet pipe has a special valve. A rather simple burner works due to fuel and has the form of a wick, the lower part of which is immersed in a fuel tank. When the valve opens, fuel is supplied to the working tank, the wick begins to absorb fuel. After a while, the diesel stove is kindled, warmed up and starts to work as usual.
Most often, manufacturers place a grate over the burner so that if necessary, the user has the opportunity to heat the water in a bucket or pan. As an example of such equipment, one can consider Solyarogaz PO-1.8. This furnace model has a power of 1.8 kW and is manufactured in Russia. Such a diesel stove must be operated according to certain rules. For example, in order to exclude a pungent odor, ignition should be carried out on the street.
On an ongoing basis, such equipment is better not to use, because in this case you will also come across a pungent odor. But intensive operation is still possible, for this it will be necessary to change the wick and clean the burner.
Homemade Diesel Ovens
A stand-alone diesel stove can be made by you yourself. Today, such units are one of the most common, because they are able to work on diesel fuel and mining. The furnace has two barrels, which can have a rectangular or cylindrical shape. For normal operation, they should be connected with a perforated cylinder.
Evaporation and burning of liquid fuel will occur in the lower tank, while afterburning will occur in the upper one. Holes should be made in the connecting pipe, which will serve for the intake of secondary air. Such an autonomous diesel stove works due to the natural supply of oxygen, which is caused by the draft of the chimney.
The prevalence of equipment due to ease of manufacture. For assembly, it will be necessary to prepare any metal that every master will find on the farm. Such a stove warms very well, it especially manifests itself when working on diesel fuel. But there are also disadvantages that are expressed in the allocation of a pungent odor during operation. Because of this, such devices are not used in residential buildings.
Fire precautions
If you will use a diesel stove for a garage , you must remember that it can be a fire hazard. When some water gets into the fuel, claps can begin to form in the perforated pipe, which reach an impressive force. That is why the result may be splashes of burning oil, which fall through the holes in the pipe. In this case, the oil may cause a fire.
Varieties of Diesel Ovens
The diesel stove for the garage is presented today in two varieties:
- direct heating units;
- indirect heating equipment.
Sometimes such devices are called potbelly stoves and are also equipped with fans. If we are talking about direct heating, the devices are devoid of a chimney, which makes them not very convenient for heating a small room.
Indirect heating is quite convenient, so such devices have gained popularity among garage owners. The fuel tank and the combustion chamber operate according to a simple principle, which consists in the fact that through the nozzle of the tank the liquid enters the chamber, where it is burned by air supplied by the fan. Air flows through the heat exchanger and are directed through nozzles into the room. Such a diesel fuel furnace may include:
- adjusting screw;
- housing;
- burner;
- removable tank;
- replaceable unit;
- grating;
- reflector.
A removable tank is usually supplemented with a valve, while a replaceable unit with a wick.
Additional Features of a Diesel Oven
The modern type of diesel fuel furnace has a flame control system that turns off the overheated appliance. Such devices are suitable for heating cabins, country houses, retail facilities, garages, construction sites and security posts. Mobile stoves are indispensable when there is a need to heat the room in emergency condition.
Such a diesel fuel stove can be taken by you on a camping trip. After all, there is not always the opportunity and desire to make a fire. However, it is important to remember that such a design must be installed in rooms with good ventilation, because a huge amount of smoke will enter the atmosphere.
Do-it-yourself diesel fuel stove manufacturing
In order to make a furnace that will work due to diesel fuel, it is necessary to prepare not only sheet metal, but also:
- steel corners;
- a pipe;
- electric tool;
- welding machine.
The thickness of the steel corners can vary from 4 to 5 mm, while the metal tube will have a thickness of 25 to 30 mm. A diesel stove for a summer residence can be made in the form of a rectangle. In this case, the sheets are cut and welded together. You will need the upper part, bottom, side and back walls.
On the front panel, place the door for the combustion chamber and the blower. At the first stage, the side parts are welded. They should be placed vertically, this should be checked using a square or level. Having grabbed items in several places, you need to make sure they are in the correct location. As soon as the back wall is welded, the entire internal space must be divided into 3 parts:
- an ashpit;
- firebox;
- smoke flow.
On the inside, corners are welded on the sides, and strips must be prepared for the grill. The distance between the plates will be 5 cm. Metal rods are welded on top, on which a reflector should be placed. It will look like a metal sheet. The reflector must be removable.
Wizard recommendations for work
When the lid is welded, it is important to provide a hole for the chimney. At the next stage, the upper jumper is cut and welded, it should be located at the level of the grate. Do not think about the size of the doors for too long.
The design is mounted on the legs. They are made of a metal tube, the diameter of which will be 10 cm. The chimney is made of a 15-cm pipe. It should be brought out by making a hole in the wall. Transitions can make an angle of 45 °, there should be no horizontal sections.
Features of the manufacture of a dropper furnace for diesel fuel
Autonomous heating in the garage can also be ensured by the drip oven, which is the safest. It can be made from an old gas cylinder or a large diameter metal pipe . A bowl is installed at the bottom, in which fuel will be burned.
Oxygen will enter through a vertical perforated pipe , due to this, primary combustion of vapors and afterburning of pyrolysis gases is ensured. Fuel will drip into the bowl as it passes through a metal pipe. To do this, the fuel tank is installed higher and slightly to the side. This will eliminate the fire.
Conclusion
Ovens in diesel fuel are quite common today, because they can be not only purchased at the store, but also made independently. If you decide to make such equipment with your own hands, then it should be supplemented with a viewing hatch, which is located in the lower part of the case. There should be a cover in the upper area. It is required so that the user can observe the combustion process.
