Oil burner setup for 600Kw Free heat output.

Waste oil burner doing a massive output of 600Kw of free Heat on waste oil. Don't forget to check out my channel for lots of How to's and burner demonstrations.
In order to reach my goal of making a 600Kw waste oil burner I had to increase the fuel supply and also get more air into the waste oil burner. On this vid it ran a mix of Used engine oil and waste Vegetable oil.
I pressurized the oil Tank to help push the oil out quickly and consistently. By increasing the outlet size of the burner I reduced the back pressure so more waste oil could be burnt and heat created.
The burner handled the heat output of 600Kw easily but I maxed out the fuel supply. I have increased the fuel line diameter to half inch and my next trial of them used vegetable oil Burner will e to attempt to go to 750Kw heating power.
I do not think the burner will handle much more than this if it even gets there but I plan on making a burner to attempt to get a full 1000 KW output.

Building my first one last night took an hour or two works great posted a ten sec vid. Used an old lpg tank and a blower from a old water heater amazing power and so simple. Also I was wearing all proper safety equipment. My jockstrap

[@MrGoldselva]

very great burner indeed. really really very great

[@armorer1984]

I love it! I use a pressured tank for my foundry burner. Instead of using a tank to pump pressure into another container, I use an old LP grill bottle that is filled with oil and has a siphon tube into the bottom. Then I hook a compressed air regulator onto another port and set it to about 2 psi (14kpa). Plug an air compressor into the regulator and woila, you have a pressurized oil delivery vessel that you can crank up to high pressure if you need it. You, sir, have proven once again you are not among the sissies or winges. Keep em coming!

[@glumpy10]

armorer1984 That sounds like a good setup. A mate did something similar and it worked well. I have thought of this but for the minute I can't find a tank big enough that would give me a decent run time at these outputs. Going north of 1L a min is a bit thirsty and doesn't give much run time either. For normal people who aren't obsessed like myself, I think the sort of setup you are talking about would be an excellent way of supplying the fuel at a constant rate. The ideas I get from people are great and really helpful to myself and others. There are a lot of ways of doing things and having lots of input gives us a variety of options of doing things that suit our individual needs and capabilities best.

TheEmptynester Hi empty! Was just thinking the other day I hadn't seen your comments for a while. Do you have a greenhouse? Wouldn't matter, this will keep the frost off your garden and keep it at summer temps even if it is all in the open. :0)

[@TheEmptynester]

Oil Burner They seem to have changed things. I have not seen any videos from you in a while. I was going to put a green house on the side of the house. But not sure. If I am going to move or stay here yet.I am working on contacting some one who abandoned a place not far from here. It will go up in back tax sales this August. So I will try to get it before then. If possible. I thought, your fires would heat a green house and the house with all those flames. LOL :) E

[@glumpy10]

TheEmptynester I'm not a knowledgeable gardener but perhaps the chimney from the indoor heater could be directed into the greenhouse to increase the CO2 levels which I believe is good for plants and heat it at the same time? Good luck with the new place!

[@TheEmptynester]

Oil Burner Thanks. This house has no chimney. No furnace. I was working on a plan. Like the mass rocket stoves. Where I would put one pip over another. And pull some of the heat off it. When I saw your channel. I started thinking oil burner. Electric space heaters and a propane fire place is the heat right now. I have learned allot from you. But still need to learn more. Thanks for making videos. :)

[@glumpy10]

Timothy Scott They are not hard to build and I have tutorials on my channel. It's amazing the things you can use them for. This is my most powerful burner yet but It seems I eclipsed it yesterday. The output I got from one of the smaller burners was too much for me really to believe even though I measured it. I'll do another run to check and satisfy myself the numbers are right. I'm going to try for a bigger run with this one soon. I thought I had enough fuel flow but I maxed it out and the thing was still not running rich. I'm hoping to get 750KW out of it but based on what the other one seems to have done yesterday, There may be more potential still.

[@recyclerlemur2129]

I'm looking into building these things to separate metals. Keep up the great work

[@BitGridTV]

hey. another idea for pressurising the oil-tank. find a compressor of a refridgerator and combine this with a pressure-sensor from a washing machine. at least here in Germany things like that can be found often for free. usually this pressure sensor is a round sort of capsule, about 10cm maximium in diameter with one or two small hoses leading from or to it. theres a rubber membrane inside that drives a switch. and this switch could shut down the compressor if its connected to the "normally closed" switch. when the pressure is reached. Dunno what pressure it takes exactly to switch it, but U can blow into it pretty easily to "inflate" the membrane and then U hear it clicking inside.

[@AJRestoration]

[@alltheboost5363]

What if you put a junkyard turbo charger on the outlet of that thing that way you would only need to use the electric fan to start it. Just an idea.

[@hardcase1659]

You should make a small cyclone furnace with that oil burner.

[@WildMidE]

Bro can I use kerosene instead of weast oil?

[@BitGridTV]

nother thing: dont forget to pick up the iron oxide from the burner. U could make Thermite from it :D

[@TheUserid82]

A fuel tank made from 2 propane tanks with a valve between would let you shut the top tank off to refill as the lower tank keeps feeding the burner. Would take a good size valve between them and a cap for the top tank that can hold the pressure you need. Other option is a small barrel inside a 55 gallon barrel in case it pops so the oil is contained.

[@henkkag2937]

Can you estimate the how clean/dirty are the exhaust gasses when using vegetable vs used engine oil?

[@glumpy10]

+Henkka G Vegetable oil is renewable and the Co2 released when the oil is burnt is the same as what the plants absorbed when the plant was growing. Used engine oil, like everything, is no where near as bad as the green safety nazis make out. ALL engines burn oil. Some new cars can burn their sump capacity before the required mileage Changes. Some BMW's are one I know of. Either fuel burns as soot free as you set the mixture.

[@michaelgoodwin845]

Hi oil burner, how do you calculate the heat of fire into kilowatts. I enjoy your videos and a'll the comments.

[@glumpy10]

Oil is close enough to 10 Kwh per liter in energy. Multiply consumption per hour and you get KW output. Ie, 5 L hr = 50 Kw, 30L hr = 300kw 600KW = 1L per MINUTE.

[@HighVoltageMadness]

Where can I get one of those high pressure blowers for cheap?

[@glumpy10]

ebay

[@ArchimedeanEye]

Awesome stuff... Gotta love playing with controlled combustion and fire like this! Could you use a large turbocharger in this process? Using the combustion to drive the hot side of the turbo and the compressor side feeding the inferno the same as your electric pump is doing... I guess then you would have more complexities with oiling the turbo, so that would suck, but still it would sound awesome, lol..

[@glumpy10]

+ArchimedeanEye I have thought of that and seen people do it. It requires a lot of extra engineering and support equipment like you say with oil pumps etc . It's interesting but a lot of complication and expense just to make fire. Having a turbine engine would be the ultimate in back yard engine collections though and to me add to the wow factor if it was home made. I have a turbo I would like to set up like this but I need to advance my " technology" skill to the point I could hook it up to a generator or something to do work. I also need to make sure I can build a combustor that produces gas, not just a flame like I am used to that would demolish a turbo in no time.

[@benpenner1216]

What kind of blowers do you use. ? What is the CFM.

[@glumpy10]

I mainly use Jumping castle Blowers. No Idea of the CFM but they do sufficent for at least 600KW output and I suspect 1000+ . Thinking of making a big Burner with 2x Blowers and something in the order of 2Mw output.

[@barrieholding6340]

Hi, How about putting you burner into a large gas bottle with the out pipe going through the gas bottle wall and the inlet just a short pipe, you could have two blowers pumping air into the bottle but the air going into the burner would be very hot, the oil could be fed through the gas bottle wall in a steel pipe into the burner intake pipe

[@glumpy10]

Barrie Holding Yep! That would be another way of doing it and I imagine increase the efficiency a lot by preheating the combustion air. It would be a great way to get more BTU out of a litre of oil if you were doing a heater setup. It may be free fuel but you have to have a go at doing it the best you can. :0)

[@AvocaSingleTrack]

That thing is awesome ! You should feed a little oxygen into the blower intake ...just for kicks ...and your neighbors must love ya !

[@glumpy10]

+AvocaSingleTrack I might melt the burner if I did that. Hmmm, You're right! Definately something to try!

[@soulmasterdw]

to measure flow rate diy..... get clear pipe bend in a u fill u part with observable liqud a ball on one side and hook other onto ur oil feed pipe with tee~the pressure though known pipe system should show a flow rate works like washing machine pressure switch and was a tool used for mass surveying leveling and i think its a gas flow tool aswell use a clear bottle hang upside down put a scale on it like broken tape measure make the feed and flow pipe have right jetting~the liquid level should equte to a flow rate and might need a floating stuff to see level if oil sticks to side or most teckie.... a modded or useable injector and a 555 timer circuit measure the pulses and equtes to fuel and ur fuel rate be electricaly controlled aswell

[@glumpy10]

I'm thinking of trying to run some injectors with an arduino for a small burner like a stove. I have been thinking about measuring flow for a 1500Kw burner which would be doing around 2.5L per min. I'm thinking the best way for this would be to have solenoids on the oil tanks. Set the burn rate with secondary valves ( I'm anticipating 2 Lines for sufficient flow) and then just shut the solenoids. When sanity has returned and all the emergency services have left, I can just put the feed lines in a measuring vessel and run the pumps for say 30 sec and measure the oil flow and multiply it out. The other thing is just to get a flow meter as they will measure the outputs this would take pretty well and I could then see that the consumption was on the fly.

[@TheStarforce2]

I notice you are using a smaller tank on this one. Does using a tank the size of the average bbq grill propane tank (or a beer keg) vs something this size change the output significantly, or is the size of the combustion chamber not a big factor? Also, how often do you burn out a tank? I commonly find those portable air tanks...the ones you fill and stick in your car to fill tires when you are not near a power source, might be too thin of metal to sustain much more than a few hours of operation before the seams fail. In line with murphy's law, I'm sure I've scrapped dozens of compatible items over the past 3 years, now that I want one...there seem to be none to be found.

[@glumpy10]

+TheStarforce2 Mate I hear you! I have learned over the years to pick up what you can when you can because you can see stuff around everywhere right up to the point you want it then there is nothing to be found for months! The tank has a minor influence on output, more to do with the amount of airflow you can get through it which is really only relevant at the impractical inputs I do with things like this. For other applications such as metal melting and heating. the pipe size of the inlet and outlet has far more influence. I haven't burned out a tank yet. I keep them outside in the weather and they rust up but I have probably put something like 100 hours on this burner now and its still the same as when i built it. I'm surprised at this myself actually, the metal isn't that thick but perhaps a combo of the heat, oil and rust make for some weird preservation mechanism? I have test burnt units for over 12 hours at a time and the long running doesn't seem to effect them either. Maybe extinguishers and gas bottles are made of better metal?

[@TheStarforce2]

I found a friend on the CB radio who works at a place with empty refrigerant bottles, he also has some exhaust pipe, so my problems might have just been solved. I pointed him your vids. I am planning to build 2, one with size mounted pipe and one on top with the iron pipe like for the 55 gal drum. That one will get used for the big stuff, like what you do with whole mower engines and such. I got the bottom of a boat motor and the prop (damn steel in it) where as the other with the side pipe will be fitted to a decent sized electric pottery kiln that went bad (got it for free). It's too bad I had to smash the larger one, I could have set 2 propane tank sized pots in that one at the same time. I just need to figure out the mechanism over opening the lid when it's hot, and I got a furnace for hotter shit (copper, brass) and smaller breakage. It'd be really cool if I could come up with 2 blowers and run them both at the same time. Going to check thrift stores for old blowers and garage sales and we have the local "ax man" where you can find anything, for some heavy duty dimmer switches to throttle the fans. Another dude at my work is going to give me 16 pounds of copper tube so I think I have my fuel line...depending on diameter. you should look up valveless pulse jets and see if you can get one to run on veg oil lol.

[@weathermon]

How about putting a small heater inside the oil to warm it to about 50c? Might make it flow even better combined with the pressure - nice vids by the way!

[@glumpy10]

weathermon Thanks. If I heated the oil I'd also soften the plastic drum which I'm a bit wary of anyway. I think with the pressure setup I have now all I need is a metal drum so it takes the pressure better and it will be fine. It would be a lot easier to heat that if I needed though. just keep it close to the burner. :0)

[@domdegood5376]

You can use the top of the bottle to hook a pipe and blow heat to the base of the bottle to vaporize the fuel and get a bigger burning.

[@glumpy10]

+Dom Degood The rate of vaporisation isn't the problem. On this run even with pressurized oil, I still couldn't get it in there fast enough to max out the air flow. I think this burner is capable of 1000+Kw if set up right. I am presently working on another design that will be very simple to construct and I believe will be capable of outputs the will be as high as the amount of air and fuel you can pump into them at any rate due to the thing effectively having a double heat application to vaporize the fuel which is much like you are saying here.

So one thing i been thinking about. The container is heating up.. fast.. im guessing it should tho, its what makes it work. But, doesnt it eat up the bottle quite fast.. no?

[@glumpy10]

+Moronicsmurf Surprisingly, no. I only realised the other night I have a vid of one burner from 8 years ago and I have put hundreds of liters of oil through that thing over the years. They also stay outside in the rain and don't seem to rust much either. I did notice the nozzle on this one is a bit flaked with not too many hours run time on it but then again, at this output, is it any wonder? A friend uses one of these burners he made for commercial casting. He said his is showing signs of deterioration but has said his has run well over 100 hours. He is going to make a nozzle out of cast-able ceramic for his. That ought to last forever.

[@Moronicsmurf]

well with your temperatures you could prob. create quartz glass, by melting pure quartz sand and pour it into a form, that thing oughta get hot enough anyway.. I was just to my local car shop and raided them for fittings.. gonna make a go at the T cross section with a fiddly home made nozzle instead of the siphon one i got.. 10mm throughput in a half inch t-cross connector should make both air and oil, have plenty of room and oporunity to pass thru.. With my large compressor and all.. ;)

[@mrtechnophile3483]

+Oil Burner Maybe a bit of stainless steel tubing would make the nozzle last longer, if you care. If the burner case is not oxidizing, that says that you don't have excess oxygen - it's all being used up by combusting oil, none left to oxidize the metal.

erlendse I can assure you that snagging a window washer pump will be a darn sight cheaper than a gear pump as you suggested.

[@glumpy10]

erlendse As it turns out, a gear pump was exactly what I was thinking of. I do happen to have a spare one I built as a pickup pump as can be seen on my vids. There is a very early and a later vid of them. I was thinking of plumbing it up so I shut down the by pass giving the pressure then using another smaller valve for precise fuel regulation. Even on 12V, the 24V motor will drive the things to 50L MIN easily so I would have something like 30,000 Kw Fuel flow available. Should be adequate. If it's not I could always spin the pump to full speed and get 48,000 Kw potential. ;0) Going to need a bloody big blower though! I would doubt washer pumps would do a thing. Tried some long ago and the oil is way too heavy for them. They basically hardly make a dribble. Gear pumps are cheap to modify for old car parts yourself. :0)

Power is calculated through fuel consumption. 1L hr burnt is basically 10Kw hr. 1l min therefore is 600Kw. I haven't looked up the BTU for plastic but just from experiments I expect it to be a high energy density fuel.

[@BitGridTV]

Thanks for Your explanation. right today I found an empty fire extinguisher lying aside the road. I didnt even wanted to go on a sort of scrap hunt It just wanted to be at my home. main problem is: Probably I am going to have a burner ready before I have enough oil to test it with :D

[@AndrewKulibin]

Oil Burner Plastic waste is an interesting idea. Plastic burns like oil. All the complexity of a fuel supply.

[@BitGridTV]

Andrew Kulibin but pls dont use any stuff containing halogens like in PVC!

[@AndrewKulibin]

Yes, pvc toxic and non-burn

[@arjanwilbie2511]

Safety tip of the day, do not lick the flame. That is all ;)

[@glumpy10]

Arjan Wilbie Well said. The safety zealots thank you! Please be sure to wear a tongue glove at all times as well.

[@NuffMan_]

When is the 1.5L/h version coming out? Lookin for 1.21 Gigawats of wasteoil burning xD :D

[@glumpy10]

+NuffMan Have a look at my low output Burner vid. Not many other people have! Seems we all like big burners. 1.2 Gigawatts? I think we are into very large powerstation territory there. You might have to wait a while till I can save up a few tanker trucks worth of oil and get a bigger back yard.... like 100 acres. :0)

[@soulmasterdw]

just a dexters lab tonnes old turbos should crack it maybe some pure oxygen XD supper lean burn akin to turbo jet engine maybe a thermite dust feeder aswell

[@NuffMan_]

Waste oil turbo jet engine? :)

[@ryantice7142]

how did you get the that much oil to burn

[@ryantice7142]

if I had put 1 liter of oil in my burner it would not burn all of it in that minute

[@killman369547]

+Ryan Tice the trick is airflow alot of air, also try using vanes to force your air into a vortex around your fuel nozzle to ensure all of your fuel atomizes and burns. jet engine fuel nozzles use this and well if it works for them it can work for you to

[@priyankbarbhaya3116]

can we use vegetable cooking oil here?

[@glumpy10]

+priyank barbhaya This is running on Veg oil in the vid. You can use whatever combustible liquid fuel you like although I wouldn't recommend petrol but it would work OK.

[@zenyatta3947]

@@glumpy10 You clearly said "engine oil", no? Looks like it too.

[@beastlyendeavour9184]

Now if you can harness that heat to make electricity, you'll be a wealthy man.

[@perceive8159]

Ha that will cook your goose man!

[@ffslave]

Any reason why you couldn't use a dual feed system? You could probably melt the concrete if you dual feed that baby.

[@glumpy10]

ronnie coursey I have thought of that and it would have certain advantages but for now a single feed is easier. I am planning on a dual feed for an afterburner setup I am tossing round in my head. For that I'll need one fuel flow for the burner and one for the afterburner. A dual setup with solenoids is something i'm planning for a hi/low setting for my house heater I'm building.

[@ffslave]

Good luck I think I'm gonna build a small version for my blacksmith forge can't get much cheaper than free.

[@davidbrennan5]

need bigger blower better fuel container and more pressure.

[@MadMercsAirsoftReviews]

Hi, I have made a burner but having a lot of issues with it, any chance of an email address so I can send pics and I go over to get some help with getting it running.

[@youraloser6710]

use that to heat you water;)

[@RinksRides]

friggin aussies.. arse'in around tryin to make a drip oil burner for a small foundry, stumbles on a better burner for the boiler at his local power station!

[@glumpy10]

Yeah but the power station burner is one they got from me to replace the less powerful one they had! :0)

[@armyreconm60]

COULD I USE AIR...

[@glumpy10]

Air is essential. IF you mean compressed air, yes, but it takes much more power, creates wear, is more noisy, takes more equipment and has no advantage over simply using a blower which is much more efficent as well as cheape and longer lasting.

[@armyreconm60]

love ya stuff..I can't wait to build mine got all that I need thinking as well setting up one for a hot water.. keep it coming mate love it...graeme

[@thomashoward7004]

Pressurize a plastic jug , OK , When the side a that thing splits wide open blows out 5 of gal. oil on you and that over sized touch flame , you gonna wish it hadn't!!!

[@waynegoff764]

Wonder what his missus would say if he set the house on fire?

[@glumpy10]

+Wayne Goff She'd say " that was a pretty neat trick to do that from 25 meters away on a concrete driveway. Must have been one hell of a flame! Glad we over insured the house, we can get a better one now. "

[@hooperwille]

make it 746kw and call it Veyron Burner

[@singhbhupinder8107]

Sir I made same burner but why flame is not stable like your burner? Why it’s shaking? Kindly suggest sir. Give me your email address so I can sent you a clip of it.

[@brentroya8672]

why dont you reuse the heat comming off the canister with your air feed pipe rapped around the canister. The incoming air would be heated at least 1,000f. Just like a blast furnice for melting steel. Your desine could be so mutch more efisent. Look into howe a blast furnice works. Your used oil could burn at temps over 3,500f.

[@glumpy10]

Please describe with precision and detail how a person with an average home workshop would wrap the 2.5" diameter pipe around that canister? The air would not have any chance of being heated near 1000oF given the fact the contact area with the chamber would be minuscule being round pipe and the airflow would not allow sufficient heat transfer to warm it more than about 20o if that? As steel melts at 2500of, having the oil burn at 3500 would cause the burner itself to fail and spray molten steel around. That and the fact there is already 600KW of heat coming out this thing is the reason I don't go to the useless trouble of wrapping the air feed pipe around. Please take the time to understand what the hell you are talking about before posting impractical and poorly written Comments.

[@brentroya8672]

I got in a bad acdent head injury I had to lern to walk and talk agan. It left me not being able to spell. Yes I receated your burner on a mutch smaller scale. I used a 3 gallon air compreser tank I have a manual pipe bender for up to 1" steel pipe. I raped the tank in 1" pipe only about 10' and it was conpletly coiled from top to ,bottom. Steel melts at 2,500 Fehrenheit or 1,370 Celsus. Iron melts at 2,750 f or 1,510 c. When i was running my experment the phone rang i was gone fore 2 mins ran back out in the grage my cannister had holes burned through it. I almost burned down my grerage. The godzilla super efficient only burns at 2,400 f thats 1,315.6 c. The point I was trying to make is you can make used oil burn at vary high temps. My second experment I am using refactory naterial that can take over 5,000 c What i am trying to do is get the oil to burn compleatly clean with no carbon residue to clean up after. When I ran my experment I was using strait synthetic oil excpt to light it I used a littel gas. So under the right conditions synthetic oil can deffenit burn. Using refactory material I beleve I can beat the record for highest heat. The hotter you can make the oil burn the more efficient it will be. Thats what i am going for. Not the highest Kw out put you already have the highest one.

[@thefattesthagrid]

pretty manly.

[@banaranama]

i use one with pure Alcohol - has an output from 6 MW

[@leeknivek]

6MW is 20,472,852 btus/hr ethanol is 76,000btu/gallon methanol is 56,000btu/gallon ...gasoline is 114,000btu/gallon ...waste motor oil is 140-150,000btu/gallon 20,472,852 btus/hr would take: 270 gallons/hour of ethanol 366 gph of methanol 180 gph of gasoline 142gph of waste motor oil ...... that must be quite the setup you have there to burn between 300 and 400 gallons of alcohol per hour.

[@banaranama]

oh okay, so i better use pure nitromethan. Because i have only a 5m³ tank in front of my house.

[@appelmelk5664]

are you really using waste oil? i dont think anybody can waste that mutch oil actually :D

[@killman369547]

scrapyards have lots of it they need to pay to dispose of same with fast food joints when they see an opportunity to not pay that fee they take it so say if you walked up to a Mcdonalds manager and told him you'd take their used oil for free (just say your vehicle runs on the stuff) and they'll probably give it to you but you need ur own jugs/barrels/whatever.

[@appelmelk5664]

+killman369547 actually where i live you get money for your waste oil sowww...

[@kppteam]

I love you videos mate but you put lots of oil, way too much. Search for "Spark - Tornado 100" here.

[@glumpy10]

I put as much oil as I need to make the fire as big as I want! :0)

[@brentroya8672]

P.S. I only see the same stupid desines over and over look in to blast furnace. A blast furnace can take a fule like coal and get 5,000f out of it. Your air in pipe needs to rap around your canister like a tight twist insulate the out side of the hole thing to get your inlet air as hot as posible. This is a simple desine based on the blast furnace. Think outside the box.

[@glumpy10]

Calling my design stupid when you cannot even spell simple words really is quite laughable. These are basic and easy to produce burners capable of producing more than sufficient heat for anything a backyard hobbyist would want to do including melting steel. Given steel melts at 2500o, it would be impossible to get this to 5000o without the burner itself melting down long before it got to that temp and idiotic to try. Best you understand what you are talking about before making impractical suggestions.
