Matt Matt Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I have a primarily vegetable oil furnace with a diesel start. Has anybody added a spin vane with good results? I want to add a helical Air turbulence chamber to my burn tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Matt Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thank you Glen for, The personal message, that you moved this to a more appropriate forum. Maybe very few here spin their air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Very few folks here use oil burners; they seem to be a bit more common with foundry folks as I recall. (Anything over at alloyavenue.com on them?) You will add some depth to the knowledge base here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Bance Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm interested in what you find out. Producing a viable oil burning forge has been quite a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I've seen several in industrial settings, including one that is now a museum in Lauf ADP Germany that was still in use for demonstrations when I visited 20 something years ago; but they tend towards the large size compared to most home forges.

Matt Matt Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I have a small foundry that has a 4 1/2 exhaust port. The magic will start inside the brick bace. The flames will be entering the bottom of the forge. It will be designed just like a big oil furnace. I want to try to get my combustion air up first.
