I was an industrial cleaner in a waste fuelled power station (Afval Energie Bedrijf Amsterdam) The insides of the massive furnaces had a lot of that yellow cr*p (probably not the same stuff but same colour) plastered all over the sides, it looked like mud had been collecting but it was ash. Oh, and they did say it was pretty toxic!
the yellow color is probably the burner getting hot enough to burn the zinc ( zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) in the oil. Zinc oxide is yellow. and its quite toxic. and you should not breath it at all. There is a lot of chemistry videos about it and the yellow soot it creates when its burned.
Nice compact burner. Introducing a vortex air swirl between the 2 plates, similar to a brake rotor, will improve burn temperature and mixing for a white hot core. Might even keep the plate cooler like a heat sink. Preheating the fuel will improve flow in a small fuel line. Unless you are flowing at Mach+1 decrease the exit angle by half and turbulent flow will clean up too and there's always secondary air for afterburning.
The white ash is what I see in a Clean burn waste oil furnace.... We heated a huge shop. Twice a year I cleaned out the furnace. Was like ash from a wood stove. We burnt roughly 1000l per 2-3weeks depending on how cold its was outside. I would definitely try not to breathe it the ash...
Love the videos; I'm in the process of trying to build my own waste oil heater, not having much luck. Bought a 1mm siphon feed atomizer, feeding it with ~40PSI air and waste engine oil. Shooting it into a length of 1 1/4" steel pipe about 3' long as a burn chamber. By itself, trying to light it with a propane torch, it never even tries to catch. Larger weed burner torch blowing into the pipe, after the pipe is red hot, I can then introduce air/oil and it'll halfway burn (sounds like a giant pulse-jet) but it's definitely not quite right. Still playing with air press / oil valve but not having a lot of luck. Maybe too much length on burn pipe?
The yellow color should be a very good sign if you have a read a spark plug and a motor especially a race motor that's what you wanna look for a yellow gold brown cover that means you're burning very of fishing Not too rich not too lean you're mysterious really good
You are correct. I think it is mostly like a combination of air and water. Oxidation of SiC in the air starts to occur at 3000F. It does not harm the SiC as far as I know. However, water/steam oxidation of SiC does degrade SiC.
I'm thinking the waste oil in such an efficient burner is the catalyst. It contains carbon and metal from the engine it was drained from suspended in oil in a hyper efficient burn chamber.
If you suspend nano powdered aluminum and use your fuel oil as a carrier you might hit even higher temps if you can get the aluminum to burn in your flame. Maybe nano magnesium suspended in oil.
very interesting. did you try something like CaO(36%), SiO2(2-4%), Al2O3(35%), Fe2O3(от 10 до 14%)? i don't know american name of this cement with high concentration of Al2O3, sorry(
I am thinking about making a waste oil burner to boil water. Is there any reason that a burner like this couldn't be mounted vertically and used like a turkey fryer?
thank you friend Do you mean it can reach 2900 Fahrenheit using waste oil only ? Because I want to building one to smelting iron Also the price of waste oil is very cheap in my country

You need to add a flow pump with a regulator. That would supply enough oil no problem.

Where did you source nozzle barrel, car oil? Diesel oil? Synthetic?
Para synthetic
Hypothetically... could you heat water enough with this to make a miniature steam turbine that either directly or indirectly powered a pump for fuel?
Why not use it to heat up a building during winter? And save the oil from the rest of the year
Hello. I am interested to know if you can manufacture this burner in series? I need automatic system.
Yes , my email is in the description
I may hit you up in the future for some consulting. Where you located? I'm in AR.
IL , its a big blue trash can but we dont get to choose where we are born
@@NOBOX7 lol. Np
Could you use the waste heat radiating for preheating both the air and oil? I think you could get some great temp record with it
Air expands as its heated, thus having less oxygen concentrations. So I dont know if it would actually help
@@arielkozak could increase pressure to keep the air ratio correct but it would be inconvenient
When it burns correct it will leave a gold collor
Eco friendly always 3rd and safety......safety?🤕
Is this a pulse jet?

I don't know what this is used for, or why I'm interested, but subscribed!
You can use it for many things. Typically, people use it in heat exchangers and steam production.
Ever tried toluene?
That white build up its probably an oxidation layer...So most likely its SiC reacting with oxygen to get SiO2

Could the yellow deposit be sulphur?
Could this experiment also benefit from air pre-heat.
Awesome work.
At 2000deg no way its sulfur but it might be some heavy metals oxides from all those additives in the oil.
I see, would sulphur burn at those temps?
@@captroft definitely.
Ok, 👍🏻 thanks for the info. Every day is a school day, eh?
Have seen that color in spark plugs in a car...
If your fuel is dirty, you'll have to clean it out from time to time.
That yellow is sulfur build up from the oil
Impressive burner, very interesting
also curious, what psi is needed to run it? not sure I have a big enough compressor
So.....the round tip is made of silicon carbide? It looks ceramic?
The yellow would most likely be sulfur that could not break down further. Alot of sulfur in Oil.
AND If you can get the flame to 2500 Freedom degrees that SHOULD disappear completely.

Suggestion on your oil been too cold why don't you put a metal tube so it will preheat the oil before it goes into it might atomize better
Ive tried that in the past , it works great for a time but then varnish build up kinda kills it
@@NOBOX7 try heat tape?
How much heat can the silicone carbide be able to withstand ??? You do not want a meltdown. Is this the most efficient unit you make ??? Thanks
Yes this unit is the best bang for the buck
How much the used oil burner,
Are you selling the oil burner
I need one of those!!.
I have 250 gallons of waste oil waiting for it.

Hi friend
Can we melt iron with waste oil? Or not and also Can we get 1900 F in the oven Only with waste oil ?
yes it is possible
thank you friend
Do you mean it can reach 2900 Fahrenheit using waste oil only ?
Because I want to building one to smelting iron
Also the price of waste oil is very cheap in my country
Wow I'm late to the party, just got the notification...thanks YT.
What material is your flame tube made from?
Silicon Carbide
@@NOBOX7 You make it yourself?
where can I buy that ceramic burner? and whats the oil use rate?

TY great question!
Make one out of cement so it won't melt and insulate it.
Something from the fuel grows on walls like Venom .
Proly sulfur oxide
What is that bell shaped part called and where can I get one?
you can get them from me or China, china sells bulk only , i sell per piece . just the bell is $75

In my last build i get 2498 F with waste oil
yes that was likely in a forge or foundry though and not a naked flame. this burner can also get higher temps if directed into a foundry
@@NOBOX7 my test was naked flame ; the problem is the sound its sooo loud like a F16
Perfect
LMAO from a spraypainted NPT to Flare gas fitting as a nozzle ..come on

Whats the point of these? Auto stores take oil for free I thought? Maybe not.
Many uses , from burning tree stumps out of the ground to smelting metal or drying grain
@@NOBOX7 Hmm, Interesting. Thought it might just be to get rid of the oil. Thanks for the info.
