Very clever arrangement, if only you could avoid the need to recover the un-atomized fuel with a pump. Un-atomized fuel makes a mess, and causes secondary fires to break out in your furnace, sooting up everything. The excessive heat might crack your furnace core and leak CO into the house.... preheater and a siphon nozzle seems the way to go for the cost of a crock pot and 100 dollars in parts.
Your idea with the siphon nozzle sounds cool. Do you have a video showing it in operation, and a site I can check out to make it the way you describe?
Yes, this uses the principles of a babington ball, in that there is a curved surface inside for the oil to run over. I do no pre-heating. the basement temperature, and the oil temperature was 55 degrees F at the time of shooting the film.
hi we have done this in our lab in england (garden shed) and we did it by placing the feed line in front of the burner and returning it to the feed in pump on the normal standard burner no compressor just extend the feed pipe in front of the burner very simple......this makes the flash point higher so may be you can have a go and see if it is even better cheers you can also use waste hydraulic oil with an inline normal truck diesel filter housing
nice work bro i love the device
you should consider bying waste oil
or perhaps getting it for free from
salvage yards and lube centers they
would probobly give it to you cheeper
than heating oil,just ad a carbon filter
and micro filters set up maybe ?

What do you use to heat the oil?
I heat mine to 160F
Is this a Babington ball setup?

Do you have any videos of your setup? I would love to see it.

No videos yet, I'm in the process of making a complete boiler system with it. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

Attach the burner to a domestic water boiler and run it for a few days to see how clean the burner runs. Carryout a combustion test etc.
