Drip System / OZZERT burner rules
« on: February 23, 2012, 10:21:51 pm »
Been a full winter and the garage was always warm when I needed it to be from the ozzert design oil stove.

All I could see from the chimney was some heat vapors, nothing elts. On the other end of the chimney was a hot, heat throw'n stove keeping me warm as I worked on different projects.

Watch the you tube vids, pay attention to ozzerts burn chamber 's' and build one just like that and it WILL make a lot of cheap heat.

THANK YOU OZZERT!!!

Been a little while, but got things done. Finished my version of the Ozzirt oil stove. Had some time off so this project got a lot of attention, and still is in refinement ;D

Didn't snap many pics during assembly, I was focused mostly on the build.

Only thing different I did was to make a third "burn chamber" inside the water tank with a liner and a some inch plate steel. Reminded me of a church bell the way it turned out.

Pic is of the thing full throttle and ready to launch. Had some issues with getting it to burn clean as in little to no smoke visable, but did achieve very negligible smoke. My burn pan and lid not being all the way air tight played heck with me on the clean burn, as did the right amount of holes in the liner. I found just having a couple rows of holes at the bottom only was the way to go. Upper holes were a bad idea, they just seem to kill the draft an hinder the clean burning.

Hello PUTT, I ran into same deal with the sanders type stove, easy build, easy clean, throws lots of heat and likes its oil. Also throws lots of soot out the chimney. My closest neighbor is a quarter mile away so it bothers no body but me having black "soot" flakes on everything outside if there is no breeze to rid of it.

I have tried different things to help fix the soot out the flew, wich have all been in vain. So I have started on the ozzirt or spike style drum stove. Mine will have half of an old water heater tank insted of break drums.

Mine will vary a little from the ozzirt/spike design such as mentioned above, but definitely a much more efficient burner design or should say burners, having two chambers where actual burning happens, unlike the sander design.

Here is a pic of the start I have on the secondary burner. All parts so far have been salvaged from my own and other bone yards also. Free recycling for free heat.

The secondary burner is all john deere parts. The piston liner from a 640D skidder wich as I found out by accident, can lay a beautiful welding bead with regular wire. And the disc is from a Jd mulch tiller. Gathered enough of both to ensure a good parts inventory for when the time comes to replace items if needed ;D

Well techdif, I was going to have a "bulk" barrel on on the main floor for just that reason. But after getting the 30 gallon barrel up to the attic and plumed to the stove, I figgured it would work just like that for a bit....... ;D

Well two years later it still that way. But its funny you mentioned a oil pump from and engine... I DID rig up a small block chevy pump for a bulk barrel to pump up to the smaller barrel in the attic. Had several used ones lay'n round so thats what I used But............ now I have started on a new waste oil stove ::).... one that has nothing but clear vapors leave the chimney thought up by an Australian chap. This design also uses no electricity or compressed air,  just natural draft. You can see his stove in action on youtube, ozzirt is the user name I believe and a link to his website wich has plans a person can download also.

I end up with used hydraulic oil at times. Mixed with WMO, its a hot burning combo. I have just ran straight used hydro oil before and I had to really cut back on oil feed amount or my stove probably would have launched skyward out of the garage.....do to the heat!!!

feed it more oil!! I have had the best burn reducing the 4 inch intake down to roughly two inches by sliding my flat crewd draft control over the opening also.

I should ad that my 3/8 copper supply line runs up to 3/4 pvc pipe then to a barrel in the attic of the garage for gravity feed system. Oil gets filtered by a goldenrod fuel filter set-up wich I believe is a 10 micron filter. The filter housing has a pet-cock to drain off accumulated water.  Only draw-back of the system is I have to carry the oil up to the attic.                   

When gathering oil, I quickly learned different supplies I collected oil from could be just poured right in the feed barrel and the supplies where rags, rocks, water, small animals WILL be in the black gold. For that I rigged up a large metal funnel with layers of screen from a door to pre-filter the chunks before dumping right in the barrel

I mostly get oil from known clean "used" oil sources now not containing rags, dirt clods small animals and50/50 blend of water and oil. 

Sounds kinda funny to get picky over used oil, but i have found it cured a LOT of issues.  And the outfits creating the used oil have not a problem keeping me in enough oil.... more than enough.  Heck,  they are glad I deal with it and are glad to be rid of it ;D

Well, its sorta still in prototype mode but its was make'n lots of heat as I took the pics. first time I have posted pics, so bear with me...
  • first one its just starting to glow. Sorta can see a little "orange" to the left of the door
  • Second one is of the newpro needle for flow control with sight tube
[/li    Third is of the rather crewd draft control                                                                                                                                                                     [/list]

After seeing how other shops/garage heated with waste oil, I did some research and found that Rodger Sanders gravity feed, vaporization system design seemed to be the best in simplicity. No electric fans, no compressed air, no carbon/ coal, soot caked-up hard to clean burn chamber and components. I decided to build one and gained room and heat in the garage by eliminating the wood pile in the corner, oil stores Way better and removing the bulky wood burning stove. Found out right away, there is lots more btu's in oil than wood too.                                                                                                               
  Like Russ, I found that an oversized steel burner/vaporizer cone was best. I was looking to improve/change different points of the stove and have found a CORNUCOPIA of information on this forum about burning this" black gold" and not to mention on the sanders design of burner. I hope I can be of assistance for members and gather some good info from members! I will try and post pics after I figger out everything here.....
