Oh my apologies, the diesel heater.Which one would that be as there have been a few different kind mentioned here ???

I would do either that brand or the Hcalory. if just using in shop just for a bit of heat blowing around, wouldn't have to vent. If used in garage, just not sure I want to pop a couple holes in my wall ? Using 220v electric heaters now ( 1- 6k watt, and 1-5k watt ) the 6 is hooked thru off peak.Son bought the Vevor brand diesel heater, he had it mounted by the time I got there yesterday, it puts out a surprising amount of heat, his Garage is a 30x30 and wanted something to knock the chill off a little, I do think it could keep it well above freezing unless it drops into the teens, we don't have a lot of those most years.
I'd say not really.I'll be damned if that aint a good idea with the radiator ... Have a fan blowing softly through it ...
Lot of what I have read says that exact thing, limit the length of exhaust for performance and reliability.I'd say not really.
I only have experience with Espar and Webasto coolant heaters. Both brands have limits on the exhaust length to not stress the induction motor. I suspect both the Vevor and Hcalory have limits on exhaust length ie restrictions to flow.
Pushing the exhaust through a radiator may stress the induction motor.
Condensing fuel oil exhaust will not only produce water, but also drop out soot particles.
Post your thoughts after trial period. I am quite interested.I use this to heat my 12x20 shed. Noisey and some stink, but not bad.

Bought this to try out and see if it will keep the shed warm after the big unit takes the chill out. Still figuring where im going to mount it. Non bluetooth, but has a remote control. Everything i've read about these says they heat pretty good. We shall see....

That was my problem as well. Couldn't stand the fumes of the torpedo. I bought a Mr Heater big buddy pro for the shed. No fumes that I could detect. I'll see how it works the next time we get another cold spell. It puts out decent heat at 18000 BTU. If it keeps the area were I'm working cozy. It'll be enough for me.The fumes from torpedo heaters kills me, the propane versions are better but still not a really safe option, kind of like the none vented wall heaters being safe to a certain limit. have been in some homes where they are using natural gas straight from a well, they add a lot of pollutants into the house that are harmful, low ox sensors might work but cancer is still a real concern from any fossil fuel. Folks will say you don't have to vent a gas range, I am not 1 of them. Live long and learn lol.
Second that. Electric range at home and my first update was a range hood. Luckily on an exterior wall so mostly easy except to sidestep a wall stud. Originally planning to go with gas range and boiler to replace the electric baseboard heat. Won't be in the house much longer so lipstick on a pig to up the resale value is all it gets....

If you tune them up yearly they can run really clean. New filters,plug, and nozzle occasionally then reset the pressure.That was my problem as well. Couldn't stand the fumes of the torpedo.
