【 Analysis & Review 】 Chinese stationary or static heating 12v 2020
Stationary heating
There is very little information about this type of heating, which are gradually becoming popular due to their low price. To this day it has almost been 3 I have had this Chinese heating installed in my home for years to heat the dining room with an average of about 10/12 hours a day.
During all this time, I have messed around, disassembled, I have tried, I have investigated and little by little I have been making manuals and DIYs that you can consult in the menu at the top.
But all this doesn't end here, I'm working on several more bricos, one for heat the water in the tank of the vehicle, and another to be able to control the heater via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with mobile devices and smartphones..
I hope that with all the information that I am putting on the website it helps you decide to buy this low-cost heating that has nothing to envy of the original ones like webasto, eberspacher o planar.
Here you have some photos so you can see it in detail., comment that they are ALL exactly the same, There is no one that works better than another, they just change the number of accessories they come with., the type of screen and the color of the case.
⇒ Available models and technical characteristics
| Models | 2Q/Q3 | 5Q/Q8 |
|---|---|---|
| Measurements | 310x115x122 | 376x140x150 |
| Maximum power | 2000w | 5000w |
| Electrical consumption | 7w a 37w | 7w a 45w |
| Diesel consumption | 0.10 a 0.36l/h | 0.10 a 0.73l/h |
exist 4 versions, of which 2kw, 3kw have the same size so through configuration you can give it more or less power according to your needs. The same happens with the 5kw versions., and 8kw are the same with two different names.
Don't be fooled into thinking that one will be more powerful than the other because that is not the case..
Comment also, It is common practice to send the 5kw model and sell it to you as a 2kw one., You have to look very carefully at the technical data sheet or else you will find yourself in the situation where you will have too powerful heating in your vehicle., and believe me, you will be hot (although there is a solution) as you can see in the manuals.

⇒ What does the installation KIT include??
Depending on the seller we buy it from, May include more or fewer accessories for installation, some sellers may not include the exhaust muffler (chrome), and only the admission (black piece), but that is not a problem since it can be purchased separately here, and not mounting it will not influence its operation.
This is a list of what is “usually” include.
- aluminum intake pipe
- INOX exhaust pipe
- Muffler or intake filter (hay 2 versions)
- exhaust muffler
- Screws
- Clamps of various sizes
- rubber tube / rubber to connect the heater unions to the pump
- Nylon tube that goes from the diesel tank to the pump
- diesel filter
- Wiring with its crimped connectors, ready to connect
- Control command, Analog or roulette, digital, o LCD (there are several versions)
- Plate / metal mounting bracket
- Auxiliary diesel tank 5 o 10 liters according to the seller
⇒ Types of command / screen
There are countless control models, There are analog or roulette ones like a thermostat, digital, and with LCD screen.
From experience I always recommend the LCD screen. with it you can configure the heating, purgarla, see errors, adjust power, and countless things, What you can't do with the roulette controller.
⇒ New command 2020
This new remote has the functions that the others, and incorporates a new novelty, and the screen turns off when you don't touch it. Something very appreciated by many people, which does nothing but ask me how to turn off the screen.
Now on SALE with Black Friday, only €103 with the discount coupon code: friday10
And this model allows it as standard without having to make inventions., nor print custom covers with a 3D printer.
⇒ Analog Control
Analog control knob
It is the most basic version which I do not recommend, does not allow you to adjust the parameters to set the height settings, so it will surely fail from 1700/2000 metros.
I have received many messages saying that they chose this model because it is less likely to break down., Don't make that mistake and buy the LCD version.
⇒ Digital Control
Chinese static heating digital control
This is an improved version, to analog, allows more adjustments, but it's not intuitive.
⇒ Black LCD control
Chinese static heating LCD control knob
This version, For me it is the best option of all, it allows you to do the following:
- Heating control by power
- Heating control via temperature (thermostat mode)
- View heating faults
- See room temperature
- View battery voltage
- See heating faults
- Fuel pump speed setting
- Setting the maximum and minimum fan speed
- Schedule on and off time
- Set shutdown time
- Remote start with remote control
This version has 2 power on timers and 2 off, works like a cell phone alarm, It is very easy to program.
Allows you to use this remote control (ONLY THIS).
⇒ Blue LCD Control, red and gold
This type of LCD is an improved version, It is available in various colors, and you can change the layout of the buttons.
It's prettier in my point of view., has some improvements, but also drawbacks compared to its black version.
It incorporates a height sensor, so you can see on the screen the height at which you are, This does not mean that you change the heating settings to adjust to the height you are at., because I have been able to verify that this is not the case.
The ignition programming system is very different, in this version it is a timer, For example, you can tell it to turn on 5 hours, and turn it off 8. And you can only program one on and one off., and not two like in the black version.
This screen works with a new remote control, It is much more complete, you can change the operating mode and temperature, showing it on the screen at all times.

⇒ 12v and 24v version
The LCD models allow you to easily change the spark plug and the engine from 24v to 12v or vice versa..
Unfortunately, as the screen is a universal accessory for both voltages, we can find that when connecting it, It is configured at 24v and when using it at 12v we give the error E-01 What does low voltage mean?, and go crazy thinking that the battery is in bad condition.
Heating models without LCD display cannot be adjusted to change the voltage., so the screen would also have to be changed. If this is your case, in our section spare parts and accessories you can find it.
⇒ Need height kit like webasto, eberspacher o planar?
If you have or have had a webasto stationary heater, eberspacher o planar, you will know that these require a HEIGHT Kit to be able to operate at heights higher than 1700 at 2000m and up, because they cause smoke problems and end up going out.
These height kits are expensive, They can cost between 150 and €200 depending on the brand, and without counting the labor.
With Chinese stationary heaters, It is problem this resolved, it is easy to adjust them, being totally free its adaptation, It will only require a small adjustment to be able to function at any height, here do you have the manual for it, yes indeed, you must have the LCD screen.
⇒ Models with analogue control operate at height?
And, but sooner or later they will end up failing like the webasto ones. Over time (hours) will create carbon, and it will clog causing it to stop working. So we recommend you put an LCD screen.
If due to ignorance you bought the heating without this type of control, you can replace it without problems. You have it available in our section accessories and spare parts.
⇒ The most feared, the spare parts
Surely you have read in forums and Internet groups that since they are Chinese they do not have any type of technical support nor will you be able to find accessories or spare parts to be able to fix it when it breaks..
This is totally false, You have them everywhere and they are very cheap.. As we have mentioned before, you have them all compiled in our section. spare parts.

⇒ It is easy to assemble?
years ago, They sold Webasto and Eberspacher with very extensive manuals, cables without connectors that you had to crimp, you could make mistakes, bad connections etc, and by then its assembly was quite complicated.
With the arrival of the chinese heaters this has been resolved, They come with their respective connectors perfectly crimped, cables taped to the ends, and long to facilitate assembly without problems.
They come ready to plug and play, The truth is that I was surprised when I opened the box., came a bunch of cables, con 3 connectors, one for heating, one for the fuel pump, and another for the control knob (thermostat) and then two loose cables, one black for negative and one red for positive.
Electrical installation couldn't be simpler, just try not to lengthen the power cord, and if you have to do it, cut it and use one with a larger section so that it doesn't cause problems..
The assembly part itself, All you have to do is make some holes with a hole saw to remove the intake and exhaust pipes., and connect the connection to the auxiliary tank included in the kit, or modify the original installation of the vehicle or put espadin. The latter is already more complicated., I recommend using the included deposit or, failing that, sprat, although it is more complicated than putting a T.
⇒ Quality control
Despite what you may have read on social media, that they are very bad, They fail more than a fair shotgun, they put smoke inside the vehicle, I can tell you that it is TOTALLY FALSE.
With the arrival of these heaters, many sellers have seen their sales reduced considerably, which I understand perfectly. That's why they criticize them and spread false rumors to scare people and give them a bad name..
Proof of it, is that the webasto and eberspacher accessories are exactly the same as those for Chinese heaters, and the users of our Facebook group with more than 1300 users can confirm it.
As with everything, some unit may arrive damaged, or with a defective part. But talking to the seller, without any problem he will resend you the defective part, or return part of the money you paid to buy it yourself.

⇒ Manual LCD display Chinese stationary heating / NOVELTY
Credit Here to access the manual.
- Very economical price
- Easy installation
- Normally without customs
- 2 years warranty (and Amazon) 6 months (on ebay or aliexpress)
- With internal overtemperature sensors
- Combustion failure detector
- Replacement parts available at very low prices
- Difficulty in homologating them, due to lack of documentation.
After trying it, see how it works, heating power, low cost accessories and spare parts, very extensive unofficial technical service from me, and best of all its price, taking into account that a top brand heating such as webasto, eberspacher or planar cost around €900 without a doubt my recommendation is to buy it.
It will give you the same service as any other, but for a quarter of the price. And in case it breaks down, With what you have saved you can buy yourself 3 but.
My recommendation is that you buy the model with a Black LCD screen 2kw, 5kw. Although if you are not going to use the timer you might be more interested in the model with Blue LCD 2kw, 5kw.
If you don't know what power you need, It is very simple if your vehicle is a VW T4 type., t6, vivaro (inferior a L2H2, you need the 2kw version. On the other hand, if your vehicle is type LT35, Sprinter, Crafter, Movano (L2H2 or higher) you need the 5kw version.
Hola, Where can I get the digital control knob for the Chinese stationary heating?
gracias
Hola, You can find it at the following link: https://ycomosehace.es/producto/mando-termostato-digital-calefaccion-estacionaria-12v-y-24v/
Although we recommend the LCD remote: https://ycomosehace.es/producto/mando-programador-lcd-compatible-2kw-3kw-5kw/
Hola,
I have seen that there is another type of LCD remote with a blue frame and a futuristic appearance. The information seen on the display seems the same, Do you know if there are more differences between the two models apart from aesthetics??
Gracias, all the best.
Good morning Fish.
The control functions are the same, and they are compatible with each other.
The only difference between them is in the aesthetics., just choose the one you like the most.
Greetings.
good morning! About how much a garage would charge to install it?
Thank you
Good afternoon,
Workshops usually charge between €250 and €350 for installation. You can always get lucky, and find an honest workshop that will do it for you cheaper, but nowadays, That possibility is very remote..
Good luck in the search, Greetings.
Hola, Do you know if there are instructions for the LCD remote in Spanish??
Good morning Albert,
Currently there is nothing in Spanish, but we are preparing a manual and some explanatory videos on how to configure the LCD remote.
For now we can show you a video from the manufacturer itself explaining its functions in English.

All the best.
Hola, my van is gasoline, Do you know any compatible Chinese heating?
All the ones you recommend are diesel.
Gracias
Hola, I was looking for a review of these products and from what I know, this is the only one… I have a question and it is the diesel supply is through the flat drum that they provide or you can connect it to the diesel outlet of the vehicle by installing a T ? and then for the diesel to reach the heater it has to be pumped or it arrives alone?
thank you so much!!
Hi Mark.
You can use either the tank that is included in the heating pack, how to install a tee in the van circuit. You also have the possibility of installing a sprat.
The heating has a pump that sucks in the diesel, you have to insert it into the tube that you took out of the T, It is very simple. Here I leave you an image, it doesn't have much quality, but you can get an idea.
What model do you recommend for a VW t4?? 2kw o 5kw? There is a lot of size difference?
Hola, If it is less than L2H2, as is your case., I recommend the 2kw heating.
Hello, what configuration would be the correct one in a 5kw heater for a VW California T5 and could I always leave it in the altitude sickness configuration even if it is not always in places higher than 2000 meters thanks in advance greetings
Hello Francisco, this is the configuration that is usually used in 5kw ones..
1.3hz
4.5hz
1950rpm
4500rpm
In principle there is no problem leaving it in SN-2, but the combustion would not be well optimized and you would have lower performance.
Greetings.
thank you very much greetings
Good afternoon.
I have seen that in some of the heaters the silencer is not included. In this type of devices, it is something necessary/recommended or it can be done without the?
thank you and greetings.
Hi David.
You shouldn't worry, As for the operation, it does not affect it in any way., and with the admission (the black) is enough, although if you put the exhaust one on it (stainless steel) you reduce the noise that the heating makes outside a little more.
You can always buy it separately later if you think the noise is excessive. Here I leave you the link 24mm stainless steel exhaust silencer
Greetings
