Manuscript delivered to Patent office was approved, but redone to Patent, to only allow 50% efficiency increase of oil furnace by addition of steam from water line to spray nozzle. Military soldiers off duty during 1950's collected used jeep oil to burn in used oil furnace. They attached water line SS tubing coil in insulated fire pot and by monitoring temperature point would open valve for T fitting to allow steam line mixed in. The steam had been changed to super heated steam with flame on coil. At 1500 degrees F, the oil valve was shut off , allowing A Hydrogen and Oxygen torch flame to continue. Furnace provided constant heat unless water line shut down. If temperature then was reduced, then oil had to restart furnace to get it back up to proper temperature. Motor had dual shafts for 2 oil pumps for 90lbs. each. The highly sensitized H2O at great pressure was subjected to vibration shockwave when exiting pinpoint hole nozzle to AMBIENT. The gases separated and burned with the 10Kv ignition. The lowered dissociation temperature of steam was realized, rather than normal 3-5000 degrees F. A much smaller working burner unit with fire brick surround in large box was shown to senator in under ground parking garage. No further news came afterwards.
@schwe100 No particular reason of the 1 gph that's what was available. I'm gonna run everything through it veggie, engine etc. and use it to run a forge and foundry. This will burn motor oil. I'll be doing more experiments here soon.
@LandsharkLabs Ok I watched again and appearantly enough air passes through the end nozzle it doesn't push back on the oil supply. The siphon action is caused by a venturi effect , the same as a carburetor, fast moving air creates a vacuum pulling the oil into the process. My question is , does the oil still flow uniformly during the pressurization state?
@mujgy Well with a bit more searching looks like you used a Delavan 17147 adaptor, but what model nozzle did you use? You said 1 gph so I'm guessing a Hago SN609-11 nozzle? Found them both on patriot supply. Looks like a much better solution than making your own nozzle. Have you made any more progress on this?
what did you say about the cheap harbor freight air pressure gauge? you given up on it? does it not work well? Im looking for a gauge now for my burner... no idea which ones to buy.. theres stainless steel ones,, ones that are water filled.. and cheaper ones with the black casing.
I've built alot of heater blocks , the outside nozzle barrel with 4 slots guides air 90°into tapered swirl pieceThat swirling air sucks Oil from the center oil passage
I like it but I think you need a larger feed on the nozzle up to 3 gph and this will increase your heat big time. 30 psi and yes pre heat your oil say 130 degrees. Find a old slow cooker set it on low. kelly
I'm using the .2 gph Hego nozzle and getting air pressure up through the 1/8 npt port blowing air into my fuel tank. Somebody else had that same issue. How did you fix that issue? Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!
Ryan Plethra there are 2 kinds of nozzles. one is for pressurized oil and the one you need with the siphon nozzle is it has like a tail on the nozzle and a rubber o ring. if your using the one with no tail it will back up into the oil tank
