Hi all
Have a 50L keg/boiler mounted on a car rim with a 3 ring burner still on the standard regulator. thought before I grab a hp reg I should see what can be achieved with this setup. Firstly the rim needed to be lifted to let air flow so I placed 3 pavers narrow edge in under it seemed to improve the flame colour and form, then placed 3x4mm between the keg and rim to allow exhausting but not too much trying to keep heat in, again Improved flame. Removed the brass air restricting discs altogether again improved, finally we built a small manifold from 1/2" with 3x4mm pipes brazed in to match the jet pitch of the burner and with a small regulator mounted to my air compressor started to play around with air injection of the burner ports. The end result was 40L of WATER brought to full boil in 55mins with the standard reg and no insulation. This is only a rough setup and room for way more improvement. Has anyone else added air or even premixed air/fuel ?
Cheers Mick the fuel miser.
