Waste oil Burner WVO WMO

This is a proto type Waste Oil Burner I made that runs on WVO, WMO or any similar waste liquid.

This waste oil Burner uses forced air supplied by a reversed vacuum cleaner and gravity fed Veg oil. The drum is a 60L size and the burner will digest more than 12L of oil an hour at full power with this blower.
With the concept proven I will build a more substantial version from a water heater tank and line it with refractory and put more coils in it for heating water for the house for winter and my swimming pool.

The water in the bucket was 10L and was boiled in under 5 min. There is still a lot of efficiency to be gained from this setup.

Very cool! You need to make a long video of this at night! And do some slow-mo, that would be awesome!

I was playing witht he latest one just last Night actually and admireing how nice the drum looked when the whole thing was glowing.

I have a new mega hi res Cam that does slow mo ( apparently!) so might be an opportunity to try it out!

@glumpy10 @glumpy10 Also, have you seen this very simple and efficient oil burning furnace design on YT by richiewrench? It looks to be a bit safer for indoors than this one. watch?v=1LyxOeVkvW8

Nearly Identical principal to what I have been playing with. once you get the chamber hot the oil vapourises and burns perfectly. Making a smaller burning chamber that retains the heat so lower output burns are sustainable instead of usint the whole drum as a burning chamber.

I was using a pressed steel pan about 1.6mm and I have nearly burned it away in a few hours due to how hot I have been running it. Just boils the steel. A brake drum be perfect to use for a flame holder.

I have been playing with a modification of this burner this week using a car blower. Not as powerful of course but much quieter and still has plenty of heat. Using 12V I could set the thing up anywhere and run it off a battery

I am also working on an enclosed type burner that will just push a jet of flame so i can incorporate it into a gas water heater or a spa heater. Similar to a babbington but fan only

I just use a gate valve to regulate flow. Bit touchy but you soon get the hang of it.

hi there could you tell me how you fire this up from cold

[glumpy10]

@hanghoodiescum

Have a look at comments below where starting procedure is described.

[HomeDistiller]

thats 11.1KW you got into that water if it started to boil at 5 mins (or 133.2 KWh's if ran for an hour that is) so you could say a little more than that i think (if the water was 20°C to start with)

I love the vacuum induction air unit! Nothing says toasty like a swirly twirly flame

@glumpy10 DO IT, DO IT, DOOOOO IT!!!!

[hanghoodiescum]

@glumpy10 hello there again you mentioned using a 12 volt blower which blower would it be as i have a garage and no lecky and im looking at heating this up thanx again

[hanghoodiescum]

great thanx for that will you be making any more burners / do you need a drip valve or just feed it straight in im making somethin simaler thanx man
