BORZ Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 i started a gas forge "projekt"(first time). the t burner seemed the easiest to build,found the most advice about.it seems to vork,in a short time-i hope-i'll be ready with the forge too.i planned 3 inch durablanket insulation around,the inside is about10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORZ Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 burner is vorking anyway in a quite wide range of pressure- 0.2 to far over 1 bar. which pressure is used normally? few pics about the burner vorking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 It looks pretty good Borz but the jet is slightly out of alignment. You can tell by the way the blue cone is shifted to one side and misshapen. Fortunately the flame's shape tells you which way to move the jet, away from the side the cone looks like it's hitting. It should be centered. Once you get the jet aligned it'll draw better and lean out for you. right now it's burning too rich (reducing) and needs a bit more air. I love how you mounted your vise too.

BORZ Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Frosty thanks much for the help!how to center the jet?just bend,or center the whole thing? i guess i didnt weld the nut 100% perpendicular...aniway,for first i didnt expect even that it burns...so, repair,and hope the best. thanks again!

Frosty Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 My pleasure Borz. I dumped this particular burner design on folk so it's kind of my responsibility to help get them working right. Yes? I usually just bend the tip a little, your's is already very close so don't make any big adjustments. It's already burning pretty well, better than many of mine on first firing, all it needs is a little tuning. Just slip a flat screwdriver in the air intake on the side the flame is touching the burner nozzle and apply a little pressure. Light it up and see if it did the trick. As close as your's is adjustments won't be enough to be visible when you move the jet. You want the blue cone of flame centered and even all around.

Dale Russell Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Boz , another way is to hook water up to it & just have a " jet " of water coming out , that way you can see to center it without burning something ( ie : YOU ) Dale Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm sure it will work though you may need to tune the burners for use in the forge it won't be a big thing. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORZ Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 i have the forge ready yet,it vorks fine(just an hour experience,but i think it'll be ok'). one thing-i dont reach white heat,maybe need to increase the pressure? now it ran ~0.2 bar(dont know in psi...),it might be too low...aniway,thanks much for helping,im on the right way... here a few pics,if anybody want build one,i just can say it's not that diifficoult,as it seems first.and if help is needed,it comes also...

pkrankow Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch per Google so .2 bar =about 3 psi. Nice. Using google to do conversions is awesome. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
