User Projects & Pictures / My beckett pressure burner learn with me as I go!
« on: March 19, 2009, 09:47:30 pm »








This is my current setup.
Beckett burner with lennox forced air furnace.
0.8 GPH nozzel & 1 gph spare nozzel.
I ordered a 100 psi valve to put into the nozzel tip to stop after run drip.
I ordered 2 pid digital controllers to measure and maintain a set temperature for preheat and nozzel heat. pictured below;

Working on a pump heater or a preheat of some sort.

My problems right now are when trying to run 100% waste oil the pump works the motor to hard and trips the motors built it overload. it seems to burn ok with the nozzel heater on but the fire goes out because the pump slows down and overloads the motor. I need a preheater.

I was thinking of buying a 3"x3.25"x.25" heater plate and bolting it to the end of my pump housing, the end of my pump housing holds some oil before it gose into the actual pump so that would possibly eliminate the need for a reirculation pump and electronic valves ect. (I'm trying to do it cheap but effective!)

Welcome Center / need information!!!!

HI Im new to the forum and am desperatly seeking information!!
My current burner;



I recived the info from donna-mike on ebay and am still trying to make it work correctly.

I have a type of nozzel heater but its kind of crude. its not controlled very well yet, I was planning to get a PID Temperature Controller to keep the oil at a very controlled temperature. but my problem is that on stright engine oil it over loads the pump and kicks off the motor overload (red button on the pump motor. I think I  need to build a preheater. The oil is to thick for the pump!!??  Is it better to preheat the oil or actually heat up the pump itself??

I was thinking the between running the oil in the pump would cool and cause problems?? do you have any problem's with that? or dose the preheater work just fine?? how close is your preheater to the furnace??

I just ordered 2 pid type controller's to control my preheat and nozzel heat. so now I just need to figure out a pre heater!!!   Any ideas or pictures!!

For those of you using a siphon type of system which one works better???? and why!!!

Thanks for any and all info!!
