12V Diesel Air Heater

From: Triclicks

This is a 12V diesel air heater for campervans, caravans, boats, trucks and motorhomes. The Triclicks diesel heater 5KW-8KW also works in sheds, garages, workshops and offices. It heats only, so there is no cooling mode.

An LCD display shows the running state and a remote control sets preheating, fuel quantity, temperature and fan speed. It can clear frost and fog from windows too. A silencer keeps noise down.

The heater weighs 6.5kg and measures 38.86 cm long. It runs in temperatures from -40℃ to +50℃. The kit has all the standard installation parts and a manual.

Product Features

Remote control and preheating - The remote lets you set preheating, fuel quantity, temperature and fan speed without leaving your seat. Why does that matter? You can warm a van before you get in and clear frost from the windows. One thing to know: the remote must be paired first. Hold the Up button until "HFR" shows, press Unlock on the remote, then press OK. Do this with the heater off. LCD dynamic display - The screen shows what the heater is doing, including the start-up and running sequence. Fuel, power and temperature can all be changed from it. One owner found it easy to use and liked the timer and the option to switch between power, temperature and voltage readings. Another found the panel hard to work out, so watch a video guide. Fast heating - It uses volatile technology. The ignition plug heats and evaporates the diesel into gas, which ignites quickly and burns fully. Is it quick in practice? One owner reported warm air within about 2 minutes. Another took an XLWB high top campervan from 10℃ to 20℃ in around 45 minutes. A shed owner reported full temperature in about 10 minutes.
Low noise design - A silencer is fitted and the oil pump has a low pulse frequency with minimal vibration. Is it quiet? Owners often say so. One compared the sound to an older computer running and another said the exhaust is very quiet. Some report a high-pitched whine during start-up and cool-down and the pump can click. Mounting it on rubber and zip-ties helps. Wide range of uses - It suits 12V vehicles such as trucks, boats, trailers, motorhomes, caravans and campervans. It also heats sheds, garages, warehouses, factories and offices. Smaller spaces warm faster. For a large space the seller advises buying several heaters. Owners have used it on canal boats, in a garden office and in an 8x10 shed. Low running costs and easy transfer - It has low fuel consumption and low emissions. One owner runs it from a 12V battery charged by a solar panel and finds it far cheaper than their old electric heater. It can also be taken off and refitted in a new vehicle. The 4.2 rating from 1,100 ratings includes mixed durability feedback, so fit it carefully. A turret mount makes installation easier and professional fitting is recommended. Lag the exhaust, as it gets very hot.

FAQs

What vehicles and spaces is this heater suitable for?

It suits 12V vehicles such as trucks, boats, trailers, motorhomes, caravans and campervans. The listing also says it works indoors in a home, office, warehouse or factory. Reviewers have used it in a canal boat, a garden office and a shed. Smaller spaces warm faster. For a large area the seller advises buying more than one heater.

How do I pair the remote control?

The remote needs setting up before first use. Turn the heater off. Hold the Up button on the heater until "HFR" appears on the screen. Then press Unlock on the remote and press OK. This only works while the heater is stopped. The remote takes 1 AAA battery, which is included.

How quickly does it heat up?

Owners report warm air within about 2 minutes and full temperature in around 10 minutes. One owner heated an XLWB high-top camper van from 10℃ to 20℃ in about 45 minutes. A heater that burns fuel needs a short start-up first. One reviewer advised running it for 5 minutes before expecting heat. The pump may take a few minutes to start.

Is it noisy?

Mostly no. A silencer is fitted and the oil pump has a low pulse frequency. Several reviewers called the exhaust and pump quiet. One said it sounds like an older computer. Another found the pump noisy. Expect a high-pitched whine at start-up and cool-down. One owner said it stopped after 5 to 10 minutes.

Is it difficult to install?

It depends on your skills and where you fit it. The kit has what a standard install needs. The listing recommends a professional. Some reviewers fitted it easily. Others took a couple of days or gave up and returned it. Hose clips and brackets were too small for some. A 60mm turret plate was a common tip. Watching YouTube videos helped most owners.

How good are the instructions?

Poor, according to customers. Of 22 mentions, 21 were negative. Reviewers say the English is hard to follow. Some say the manual describes a different heater or does not match the LCD. One owner found the priming advice online was for another model. This model began priming when switched on. They switched it off and on about 4 times to get fuel to the heater.

How reliable is it?

Results are mixed. Many owners report it working well. Others report failures. Some units stopped within a week to three months. The oil pump and control panel are the parts named most. Other owners report smoke, fuel in the exhaust and error codes E8 and E10. Fitting it carefully may help. One owner advises testing it before the final install.

Can it replace an Eberspacher or similar heater?

Maybe. One reviewer replaced an Eberspacher D2 with it. The heater was about 30% bigger. Its air ducts were 75mm against 60mm on the Eberspacher. The old mounting plate would not fit. So check your space and ducting first. The reviewer mounted it inside the van under the driver's seat. They also used the old fuel pump with some rewiring.
