Waste oil burner heater

Aug 29, 2010 - Nice burner. I have been bussy with a babington burner for two years now, but i cant get it stable enough. Well i have a old spraygun :) so iam gonna try your idea.......how big is your air vessel? mine is 50 liter and pumps 320 l/min that must be enough.Keep going

Aug 31, 2010 - Hi, the tank is 50 liters, but I'm not sure about compressor,but it's cheap compressor you can buy sometimes at supermarket deal( I bet it don't pump a lot of litres). I think to make another stove for wood as I have access to free scrap pallets.

Sep 22, 2010 - @thierryanna HiI've build exchanger, but it's fumes-to-air exchanging system, with car radiator fan as a blower. That was only quick solution to heat up my garage last winter. I'm preparing myself to make another one- waste wood (old one-way pallets) burning stove heating up CH water as well. I can make some pics of current exchanger and post them if you interested. Thanks for interest

Oct 26, 2010 - Hey, here is a simple way to preheat the oil: mount a 10 watt light bulb just above the reservoir let the oil drip on the light bulb at first then fall into the reservoir. Gravity powered, cheap oil filter probably will be necessary too. Great burner!

Nov 18, 2010 - @yonmoore , I don't know how expensive your sprayer pump is but pumping waste oils through it doesn't sound to good, even if you have filtered it first! IMHO, using the high-pressure method for atomizing waste oils is not the best way. @wiatroda here has the right idea. Preheating the oil to 180F then atomizing via paint gun, all-metal air brush($15 @Harbor Freight Item #95810), or siphon nozzle is the best way to go and the best path for automating if you wish to refine the process.

Jul 21, 2011 - Hey mate just wondering if you where to seal off the entire unit so the flame was inside the barrel, smoke going out a flue and only have the spray gun being exposed at the end like u have would u get many fumes coming out of where the air and fuel are sprayed in, just asking as I want to build one but I cant have oil fumes in garage if i decide to close the roller door I dont wanna stink out the place? Any Help would be great as think this is a wikd KISS idea =)

wiatroda Says:

Aug 3, 2011 - There is not enough air from air gun only to fully burn an oil. Air stream from an airgun creates air suction into cylinder. There is no dark smoke at all. If there would be that will indicate too little air. The best is to extract fumes out as you can run out of oxygen in a closed garage soon or later. When I ran a burner for longer an air became unpleasant to breathe. As you see flame approaches cylinder under an angle so it cycles inside on a surface of cyliner,

Oct 12, 2011 - Hi , I've just visited you w/site the : Graphic Card & MCU Water Cooling System pictures, if those were made larger, they could make a great heat exchanger for hot water

wiatroda Says:

Oct 12, 2011 - Yes, and to make it 3 layer of plates sandwich with inside plate having cut fins with a slit saw it could be really good exchanger. Longer of course with more in/out ports i think

Dec 10, 2011 - hi can u tell oil consumption????????????

wiatroda Says:

Dec 10, 2011 - Sorry, but I never measured 

bhaikhurram1 Says:

Dec 10, 2011 - dear measured now..

Jan 20, 2012 - hey i would use copper tubing infront of the flame and run it inside of the oil cup so the heat from the copper tubing would heat up the oil

andreasen73 Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Wow we try and try here i europe, to not mess op the planet to much, and then you make such a project. It proberly pollute as much as a small town here. Not saying it is a bad project, recycling is god, but burning waste oil is not the way.

Mar 3, 2012 - i want a crucible that will hold about a half a gallon, were can i get one that isnt too expensize the hardest metal i want to melt is copper? Who sells them?

TheWisey1234 Says:

Mar 25, 2012 - yeah i am doing the same as you first things i am melting is aluminium and moving onto copper soon. I want to make bars. I am making a website so people can send me silver and i make bars for them if you want to help.

Mar 27, 2012 - It is better for all combustion air to flow into the mix before the flame , but as you say in current set up sealing would make it run rich. Maybe some holes in the burner tube and a fan to push air in there, or the air holes in the burner tube + a tall chimney to induce a draft would work?

steveBB30 Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Copper might be fine on engine oil, but a note of caution might be warranted if you might ever run on (W)VO . copper+ VO = lots of tar like gunk in the tank/lines, due to tiny amounts of copper going into solution and the copper ions catalysing the breakdown of the VO. Happens to some degree with other metals+VO, but copper seems to be by far the worst.
