1. About a Natural Draft Diesel Heater
A Dickinson diesel heater has many advantages to other heating appliances.
They can be run on no power but has a 12v draft assist fan to provide draft
assistance. Our heaters are equipped with simple but reliable internal
components including a gravity feed oil metering valve to a vaporizing oil
burner where the fuel vaporizes by natural draft to burn a beautiful clean fire
in the viewing combustion chamber. A vaporizing oil burner is designed to
transform oil to a vapor state and then burn the vapor. Vaporizing is
achieved by the oil reaching 465 F. Once the oil is vaporized, it becomes
flammable and an efficient and clean combustion is the result.
To obtain a clean and efficient combustion, 3 factors must be in a balanced
proportion.
1. Draft- the volume of air rising through the exhaust chimney.
2. Oxygen- replacement supply of fresh air.
3. Fuel- Input in proportion to the supply of draft and oxygen.
Dickinson diesel heaters can also be calibrated to run kerosene (K) and stove
oil (S). See “Fuel Variations” on Pg. 27. This code will be indicated on the
side of the valve.
A hot water coil can be factory installed or added later to also enjoy water
heating from your Dickinson diesel heater. Hot water coils are available in a
1 turn coil for all model heaters to heat approx. 5-10 gallons of water. Hot
water coils are also available in 2 turn coils for only the Antarctic and
Lofoten models to heat approx. 15-20 gallons of water.
2. Important Notes
Here are some important notes to remember when installing a Dickinson
diesel heater:
Mounting & location, 12v power hook-up, minimum 4ft and a
maximum 10ft of chimney, the location of hole for the chimney & the
fuel supply.
