Jalal 8KW Diesel Air Heater (12V, Blue LCD Switch)

What fuel consumption can I expect from this 8KW heater?

The heater consumes between 0.18 to 0.48 litres of diesel per hour depending on the heat setting and external temperature conditions. At minimum setting, you'll use approximately 0.18L/hour, whilst maximum output requires around 0.48L/hour. This efficient consumption rate makes it suitable for extended operation periods without frequent refuelling.

How loud is this heater during operation?

The unit incorporates multiple noise reduction technologies including a silent fan, quiet oil pump, blower speed control and an included muffler. The metering oil pump uses low frequency pulse technology to minimise vibration. Most users find the operational noise acceptable for sleeping, though there may be a brief startup sound as the combustion chamber ignites.

What vehicles is this heater compatible with?

This 12V diesel heater works with cars, buses, RVs, trucks, engineering vehicles and trailers that have diesel fuel systems. The compact design allows installation inside the vehicle or underneath the floor. You'll need access to the vehicle's diesel tank and a 12V power supply for operation.

What's included in the installation kit?

The complete package includes the heater unit, blue LCD control switch, remote control, silencer and a comprehensive accessory kit with all mounting screws and brackets. You'll also receive fuel lines, air ducting, wiring harness and detailed installation instructions. No additional components are needed for a standard installation.

How quickly does this heater warm up a space?

The aluminium body construction and single large air outlet design enable rapid heating. The integrally formed combustion chamber reaches operating temperature quickly, whilst the large air volume output distributes heated air efficiently. Most users report noticeable warmth within 2-3 minutes of startup, with full heating capacity reached within 5-10 minutes.

Can I control the heater remotely?

Yes, the heater comes with both a blue LCD control switch for manual operation and a separate remote control for convenient wireless operation. The remote allows you to start, stop and adjust temperature settings from inside your vehicle without accessing the main control panel.

What maintenance does this heater require?

Regular maintenance includes checking fuel lines for leaks, cleaning the air intake filter and ensuring the exhaust outlet remains clear. The muffler should be inspected periodically for carbon buildup. The aluminium construction resists corrosion, but annual inspection of mounting points and electrical connections is recommended for optimal performance.

Will this heater work in extremely cold conditions?

The heater operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +50°C, making it suitable for extreme winter conditions. The diesel fuel system includes cold weather considerations, though you may need winter-grade diesel fuel in very cold climates. The aluminium body maintains structural integrity and heat transfer efficiency even in sub-zero temperatures.
