Hi, I've been investigating kerosene/paraffin boat cabin heaters that use pressure stove burners for use on my boat. I like these as they have chimneys that will exhaust the moisture from the combustion outside, minimizing the condensation. My question is what is inside the burner body that allows the transfer of heat from the flame at the burner to the shell of the heater from which the heat will radiate into the cabin of a boat. Examples of the heaters about which I'm asking are the Force 10 Cozy Cabin Heater (https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/force10-kero-heater.9953/) and the Taylor's Cabin heater. (https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/taylors-079k-boat-heater.10321/) I would love to see a picture of the insides. The first of the links I've included has almost the picture I could use but it is hard to see for certain its internal construction due to the soot. Does anyone have an explaination, pictures or diagrams that would help me understand how these work? Thanks, Christine S/V Christine's Dream
Hi Christine. I can't answer your question about the form of the packing inside some cabin heaters. However, if you search for Condensing Boilers in Wikipedia it does cover some of the theory behind heat exhange, condensate composition, and materials design considerations: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler Best Regards, Kerophile
Hi Christine, The "fitting", refitting of various boats w/stoves and heaters has been discussed here on occasion and is often enlightening. Sorry, I don't have a direct answer to your question. I will share a closely related topic , there may be portions there that interest you. thx omc
@christine_b_1967 Sorry if this is a bit late to be of use to you, just joined the forum myself with an interest in boat heating http://www.sparesmarine.co.uk/websh...ares/taylors-htk5590-heating-element-079k/-7/ Would seem to have very little contact area between mesh and firebox to give conducted heat transfer, but must slow down the flue gases a wee bit
Hi, I was wondering how Cozy/Taylor heater are built inside and I found the old post from Christine. I live in the south or Brazil (ok, here winter can be cold) and I would like to build a heater similar to these models, based on a 207 burner. Here is difficult to buy a heater (import taxes are close to 100%). i own a 30' wooden gaffer, and in winter a small heater should be welcome. Does anyone has some photos of the chimney and the connection to the flue? Thanks Andrea
