Bimson Power 63kW Diesel Space Heater (Black, 113cm x 56cm)

What size space can this heater effectively warm?

This 63kW diesel heater can effectively heat spaces up to 1,300m³. To put this in perspective, that's equivalent to a warehouse measuring approximately 20m x 13m x 5m high. The powerful 215,000 BTU/hr output ensures even heat distribution throughout large industrial spaces, workshops and agricultural buildings where smaller heaters would be inadequate.

How much fuel does it consume and what types can I use?

The heater consumes 5.8 litres of fuel per hour during operation. You can use either diesel (red or white diesel) or kerosene/paraffin, giving you flexibility to choose the most cost-effective fuel available. With this consumption rate, you'll get approximately 8.5-10 hours of continuous heating from a full tank, making it economical for all-day use.

Does this heater require special electrical installation?

No special installation is required. The heater comes with a standard UK 13A plug and operates on 240V mains power. Simply plug it into any standard UK socket and it's ready to use. The electrical consumption is minimal as the power is primarily used for the fan and ignition system, while the heat comes from the fuel combustion.

Is it safe to use indoors and what safety features does it include?

Yes, this heater is designed for indoor use in well-ventilated spaces. It includes multiple safety features: adjustable thermostat for temperature control, automatic shut-off protection against overheating, clear fuel and pressure gauges for monitoring and robust steel construction. However, ensure adequate ventilation as with any fuel-burning appliance and never use in confined spaces without proper air circulation.

How portable is this heater and can I move it easily?

Despite its industrial power, the heater weighs 26.2kg and includes a sturdy carry handle for portability. The dimensions are 113cm wide x 56cm deep x 73.5cm high, making it manageable for two people to move. The robust wheels (if equipped) or the carry handle allow you to reposition it between different work areas or storage locations as needed.

What's the difference between this and electric space heaters?

This diesel heater provides significantly more heating power than electric alternatives. While a typical electric heater might produce 2-3kW, this unit delivers 63kW - over 20 times more heat output. Electric heaters also become expensive to run for large spaces, whereas diesel fuel provides more cost-effective heating for industrial applications and extended use periods.

How do I control the temperature and monitor fuel levels?

The heater features an adjustable thermostat that allows you to set your desired temperature precisely. Clear fuel gauges show remaining fuel levels so you can plan refuelling breaks. Pressure gauges indicate system status for safe operation. The controls are straightforward - simply set your temperature and the heater will cycle on and off automatically to maintain consistent warmth.

What warranty coverage is provided and what does it include?

The heater comes with a comprehensive 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in build quality and provides long-term peace of mind. The warranty covers parts and labour, though it excludes damage from misuse, lack of maintenance, or using incorrect fuel types.
