Boiler to work out with their own hands
Waste oil boiler is one of the most efficient and affordable heating devices. They can equip various rooms of the most diverse purposes. Used oil, used during boiler operation, is not only characterized by high performance, but can also save significant funds of the owner. Such devices can be easily combined with other heating devices - air heaters and hot water boilers.
In the article we will tell you how to make a boiler by working out with your own hands, we will provide drawings and video instructions.
Efficiency of use of the boiler for mining
It is especially effective to make a boiler for working off in places where there is no possibility of using centralized heating or there are periodic interruptions in the supply of fuel or other resources.
Using a waste oil boiler solves two problems at the same time: disposing of used oil and practically free space heating.
After self-assembly of the boiler, you will get equipment with a capacity of up to 15 kW, which will be enough to warm up the area up to 50 sq.m. The system is heated to 80 degrees in 1.5 hours.
For the production of the boiler to work out should prepare:
- circulation pump;
- burner;
- compressor;
- boiler;
- expansion tank;
- input and output lines in the assembly;
- welding equipment.
But before you begin the assembly and installation of this equipment is required to consider a security system for its use. During the operation of the boiler, combustion products must be removed from the heated space. To do this, you must install a chimney. To protect the ceiling from heating when it comes into contact with it, a cover is required. You also need to ensure that it has a thrust and put a special valve, which, if necessary, will overlap it. It will also serve as protection against uncontrolled and accidental entry of air outside the room, including preventing cooling of the space while the equipment is not in use.
It is imperative to ensure the ventilation of the room and access to fresh air. The burner used in the manufacture of the boiler is usually of an open type. This means that oxygen will be burned, which is located in a heated room. Because of this feature of the burner used, there is a real danger of poisoning consumers with carbon monoxide gas.
Equipment installation rules
Position the boiler in a room so that no flammable materials are near it. It should consider the implementation of the minimum fire safety regulations. They should be followed when choosing the location of the unit. To install the boiler find a place that must meet several criteria simultaneously. First of all, easy accessibility, because quite often it is necessary to add fuel to the tank. At the same time, the boiler should not interfere with the convenient movement around the room. Due to the heating of the external parts of the unit, it must be remembered that it will not be safe to touch its body.
Boiler ignition
For quick ignition, you can add up to 100 grams to the combustion chamber. flammable liquid (diesel fuel, kerosene or special liquid). Make a wick out of paper and moisten it thoroughly with liquid on one side. Ignite the wick and lower it to the bottom of the chamber through the ashpit or top cover by turning on the fan. Hot liquid will easily flare up, and after a few minutes the oil will boil, the boiler will warm up and go into operation.
Additional recommendations for the use of the device
To impart an aesthetically attractive appearance, the boiler can be painted externally with heat-resistant lacquer or special paint. The base of the floor on which the unit will be installed, it is desirable to lay out heat-resistant ceramic tiles or natural stone. It is not recommended to install the equipment in such a way that there is furniture or various interior items near it.
It is forbidden to sheathe the boiler with wooden panels or plastic clapboard for obvious reasons of fire safety.
Adhering to simple requirements, it is possible to use the boiler for heating not only economic, industrial, but also to equip residential premises for long and without fear. You just need to constantly remember that this type of heating equipment is not completely safe. Although this definition applies to any type of heating boilers.
