Ammo Case heater

Last crawled date: 1 year, 5 months ago

This heater uses any available heat source, I added candles but any contained flammable fuel. Note if using highly flammable fuels then extreme caution must be taken so that there is no explosion. Always use a carbon dioxide sensor when using these kind of heaters.

1 remove the lid from a ammo box
2. Optional, make a cut out for a glass insert, use heat resistant glass.
3. Remove the rubber gasket from the lid and add a heat seal that can take the heat and not melt. This seal must be airtight so no fumes and gasses can escape.
4. Cut 50mm holes in the top/bottom and both sides for the pipes.
5. The intake pipe takes air directly from the space that is going to be heated, if it is at floor level then it will such in cold air.
6. The exhaust pipe needs to lead all exhaust outside and away from air intake. This is important so that no fumes enter the building.
7. Add the heat transfer pipet through the sides and seal them with heat resistant silicone of furnace sealant.
8 Add the heat circulating fan and box to the heat transfer pipes. Use a sealant.
9. If you have a pelltier element then add this onto the heat transfer pipes, this will produce the current needed to power the fan.
10. Attach the heater to support to prevent it from falling over.

Always be aware what is happening with the heater at all times.
