New section for oil/bio/glycerol burners?
« on: February 27, 2013, 03:24:11 PM »
Seems to be a point of interest and doesn't fit anywhere else here - shall we make a new section to discuss burners?  This could include household heating using oil fired boilers on biodiesel, or stationary engine CHP operation.

Just gauging interest.

Yes, always seeking help with the CHP and considering heating a hot tub with a Turk burner.

Yes! I'm particularly interested in trying to persuade my workshop oil fired boiler into running on WMO.

Oh yes!  B nice if it included oil fired / bio fired boilers.  I was thinking of fitting a boiler on one side of the house (opposite side to the gas boiler), that heats water in the central heating system so that as it returns to the gas boiler hot, it doesn't cut in.

A section that indicated a cost comparison with Gas would b good too :-)

Sound as a pound. Its great fun experimenting with these ideas. Even if there is no particular purpose in mind, and it is a sense of achievement when it goes right. It's never as simple as it looks, but I think it is worth doing so you don't have to go through the learning curve so far when you actually find a use for a burner.
