Heater for a tent or car based on a kerosene lamp


I propose to consider a very useful thing for winter and the cold season as a whole. With such a simple heater, you can warm up in a tent, in a car, and so on. The heater is assembled on the basis of a kerosene lamp, now it will not only shine, but also perfectly warm. Kerosene is inexpensive, and its lamp consumes quite a bit, though the fuel has a strong odor.



Essence homemade is a cylinder that is mounted on a kerosene lamp. Inside, the cylinder is divided into 6 chambers, the outlet openings pass so that a kind of coil forms inside. When hot gases circulate through this coil, reaching the upper part, they cool down almost completely. Of course, the heat received is transferred to the tent or car. As a result, a rather high efficiency for homemade is achieved.







At the top of the cylinder is a cap with a pipe. To this pipe, the author fastens a metal hose from the shower, which acts as a chimney. This allows you to remove harmful gases from the tent and car into the street.

In addition, a reflector made of shiny stainless steel is mounted on the lamp. This reflector will direct light towards you and with it the heating infrared rays.

It is better to make the cylinder body of aluminum or copper, then the heat will be given even more efficiently. According to the author, Vasily Bazaryev, the device heats up pretty well, and the flame can be easily adjusted.

I do not know about the heating efficiency, but the efficiency of the lamp, this nozzle reduces at least twice. And this is even visible in the video:


And all because the author is not aware of the principle of operation of this lamp:



Having blocked the intake of fresh air with this pipe, he threw back the lamp about 70 years ago of his evolution, from the Cold-blast design to the Dead-flame (not even Hot-blast, because there is no fresh air intake from the draft).
I think this can be solved by drilling in a pipe, strictly in the zone of air intake, a number of holes 2-2.5 mm.
So the fact of the matter is that there is a pipe. With her, but without this device will be like a potbelly stove. And with the device - much better.
If in a tent, then there can be no increase in efficiency, because all the heat from the combustion of kerosene will be transferred to the air in the tent without this device. Now, if there is a pipe, then it may still be, and even that is not a fact, since the pipe will be quite long and will possibly provide complete heat transfer to the gases.
