The wallas and the chines versions are identical... |
Except they aren't. The Wallas appliances I have owned have the exhaust and intake in one double wall pipe. The Chinese heaters use two separate pipes, and I have never seen any other design for those parking heaters.
This is literally the only point I was making: You can't connect a Chinese diesel heater to a Wallas double wall pipe and through hull. This is what the original poster was asking about in one of their follow-up questions.
This should not be controversial. |

so to be clear, and I was not earlier. I was comparing a espar under the counter heater only to the chinese copies/ clones/ rip offs. They are far cheaper and work well. They are a direct copy. 4 openings. One for combustion air intake, combustion air outlet, fresh air intake and fresh now heated air outlet. Orignally designed and mostly used in vans, truck, campers etc where the inclosed spaces are far more air tight.
Not to be confused with the almost completely worthless ( i had two) wallas heater/stove mounted in the counter top. I do believe, its be a while, that you are right about the pipe in a pipe intake exhaust. That is not what I was referring to when I said you can use inside air pick up for the combustion air, which will dry out the cabin. I have no experience with Wallas stand alone heater and how they are rigged. I should have been referring to the espars and the knock offs, which both work great.
I don't mind knockoffs , more mad that they did not knock them off until after I spent a 100 buck to have heat. _________________ Thomas J Elliott
