The heater is not rated as 5kW output but input ! The maximum Diesel fuel consumption is 0.52L/h. At that fuel consumption the heater's input is 5,2kW for the lower caloric value is 10kWh per 1L of Diesel. The heat input of 5.2kWh is irrelevant when no Heat Output figure is provided. I ask what the Heat Output in kW is at the maximum fuel consumption on 0.52L of Diesel per hour. The quotient heat out put / heat input is the thermal efficiency and only that counts.
