Waste Oil heater One Gallon Burn Time

My waste oil heater burning one gallon of waste engine oil. How long will it burn on one gallon.
in version 2.2.1 the changes that were made we're finished welding the heat exchanger tubes, wrapped PEX line with header exhaust wrap.

    I'm going to be building a setup kinda like this soon. Perhaps I'll get it made before Christmas. I can get my hands on plenty of used oil between my stuff at home and where I work. I run a grader and we've got a second one also and two tractors. So lots of used oil to get me through a winter even in Canada. Lol. My grader alone I'd get about 350L/93 US gallons roughly in a year.

    Great set up. I built one exactly like that only difference a few more heat exchangers. I don’t have a burn chamber cap like you have to swirl the flame, but that is an option I can always add. I reinforced my door with 1/8 inch thick by 1 inch wide steel strips. One piece on the inside of the tank the other piece on the outside edge of the door. It really seals the door well and when you close it you can really hear it roar when it’s burning. I also have a half inch copper feedline inside of a 1 inch black pipe for the feed, The air around the copper pipe keeps it cool so that it does not get gummed up with burned oil residue. Once again great job, you will really appreciate the amount of heat that they put out especially on a really cold day. 😬👍

You can figure out some kind of length of appropriately sized pvc to house the 'ball' OR do nothing = when you get cold you know you're out of fuel = add more I'd like to hear about and see out the outside the shop fumes/odor conditions.

    My 2 cents. Some mesh cloth on the bucket will help filter the worst. to a usable level. Personally I use the "wick" system. Which we can describe as a big "candle" without the auto feeder system. Much simpler assembly, lower power output. As some disadvantages, but one pro about it. Is that I don't need to filter nothing. Just trow the oil in there done. ;-)

    Damn, that's a hefty amount of oil usage. More than a litre an hour seems pretty high. Although to be fair, early on in the video it did sound like you were overdosing the oil as I could hear the crackling of an oil fire inside rather than an efficient oil burn.

  • @tyhuffman5447

    What you are making is a feed rate limited burner, or it should be used that way. In short if you ever over feed the oil you end up in a situation where there is more than enough fuel and the limit is the amount of oxygen it can get and how hot the oil is. You've made a bomb. The goal is to never be able to over feed the oil and create pooling. The best way to handle this is by line sizing, you could use 1/4" or 1/8" line prior to the sight glass to achieve proper flow so that you can see that the tubing isn't plugged and yet you never have to worry that someone could accidentally open a valve too much and allow the fuel to pool.

    @@randysdiy2102 I ran Grignard reactions before that are similar to burning oil in that if it gets too cold the reactants can pool and when it begins to warm up you have a runaway reaction (a bomb). Here if the oil is allowed to pool significantly and it continues to burn the oil can burn faster and faster until it burns out or explodes due to all the oil vapor and oxygen blending. The boiling creates an atomized mixture of fuel and air in a container that is already burning. Adding too much oil can cool the oil in the burner and now it becomes a heat controlled reaction because there is more than enough fuel but it's not hot enough to burn but you wouldn't know that because you can't see inside and even if you could the damage is done. Hope that it burns out. I think for added info you can look up Grignard reaction and see how they deal with it's explosive nature.
