Blue flame waste oil forced air building heater

- BURN THE VAPOUR - NOT THE OIL!
The first of its kind, this is our attempt at a waste oil heater that transfers the heat from the outside to the inside of a building to keep all the mess and danger outside. This is through forced air, the least involved way of transfer, no water lines, radiators, or pumps, possible water leaks or antifreeze leaks into the building like with a boiler type system. We will constantly be checking for any CO transfer into any building that we heat. Apart from the propane bottle cracking there seems little chance for any CO leakage, but sensors are great for protection.
If you are attempting anything like this please be careful and watch our top 10 dangers video first...
That has to be the most excellent ending I've ever seen.
Hey BradShows thanks for the comment,
Yes, I love that ending too.
I've actually watched some of your videos on your channel before, I really like the quick skit idea, you also have most excellent content, dare I say that it is even better than this channel!
This stuff will keep you warm, but your channel has more eternal value that will last well beyond the life of a waste oil furnace. 😊😊
Great build, Great Video, Keep up the good work
Just an update...
This is working far beyond what it looks like, seems like, was planned like, or ever thought it would be like.
Waste oil burns hotter than propane, natural gas, etc.
The sizing of the whole furnace was experimental but worked out perfect for our use.
We can be gone all day with no heat on and come home to between 50-60 degrees inside (outside temps 20-40F), run the waste oil furnace for 2-4 hours and the building heats up to a balmy 78-85 for the night (saves on blanket laundry) and then do the same thing again the next day.
Using between 1/2 a gallon to a gallon depending on the length of use of course.
Coming in at about 300 degrees it works quickly, feels different than a propane fireplace, or a wood fireplace, the heat just seems to feel like a warm summer night, and it lasts longer before cooling down (not sure why, we are not adding humidity, but it does not dry out the place either).
Also, the flame only needs to be halfway up the burner to get great heat, in fact it is more efficient that way (more in the heat exchanger, less at the top), if you want to cook on high and keep the same heat into the building then add some more oil, (so the blue flames are all the way up the burner), very flexible.
Happy building 🙂
I love watching these videos.
Hey @Blxz,
Thanks for the comment,
Yes, I agree, there are so many good videos to watch out there.
I hope you build an awesome blue flame furnace yourself soon...and share!😊
This is the first time ive seen anyone go from concept to actual viable product.
Holy shit.
You even addressed the safety concerns etc in a separate video.
Now I just need to learn metalworking lol.....
If there was a way to scale it down a bit, winter is only like 40f here at coldest, houses only 200m2, don't quite need that much heat maybe.
@@BradShows I think some kind of valve that controls flow rate exists - I'm still a little concerned about the oil viscosity could change due to temps etc. Maybe that could be added?
@gsdggasgs1799, Thanks for the comment,
yeah, it works great... a lot of heat.
We are working on a smaller model should be complete next winter, about half the size.
Happy building.
@@gsdggasgs1799
Yes, definitely changes happen to the viscosity when the temperature changes.
So if your oil source is in a building that warms up as you use the heater you need to be aware that it will dump more oil in as the temperature rises increasing the flame even to possible danger levels. (As shown in our "top 10 dangers" video)
But if your setup is outside, as in the video, the temperature remains relatively stable as your building warms up, so no problem.
That is an awesome video. It's informative ,very detailed in the build plan, pleasant to watch and breakfast. Thank you, Great Job!
Hey jkuneck thanks for the comment.
I hope you have a great time building your furnace!
This is one I"ve been waiting for.... wow, absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing this with us,
Hey bygeorge328 thanks for the excellent comment.
Yes, it has been a long time in progress but thankfully it is working better than planned or expected.
Now that we have a working model all the following ones should be much faster to build.
Be sure and share whatever you come up with to add to this one, like water jackets, etc.
There are so many possibilities on various ways to build these and ways to deliver the heat into a building that I can hardly wait to see a year from now what it all looks like.
We are working on one now that will have a heat exchanger on the bottom, then a small water jacket for showers etc., a small steam generator to a turbine system for led lights, and then of course a cooktop on top...
Happy building. 🙂
Love it. Had a laugh when I seen the air temperature coming in the house was 150 Celcius. The only change I'd make to this awesome system is a higher air flow to drop the incoming air temperature to a much safer, "non-incinerating" level LOL. Great system.
@Mancavedweller1
Thanks for the comment.
Yeah it comes in pretty hot.
We kept the air flow at a maximum without sounding irritating like a hair dryer.
You can adjust the temperature by decreasing the flame in the furnace which is what we recommend.
It does feel awesome to be able to go really hot if you want to but also have the ability to tone down the flame and save on fuel if you want to.
We are actually working on a model about a third of the size for smaller buildings.
updates when that happens...
Happy building.
great vid
hey hjhenk422, thanks for the comment.
glad you like it....does this mean you are currently starting to build one for yourself?
@@learn2farmagain30 yes im coverting a woodstove to waste oil atm , and i love this vid you made very usefull
Gotta love them eggs! What time is breakfast?
Hey eshetchayil4669, thanks for the most excellent comment.
Yes, part of the whole purpose of the video is to help us all to be able to have heat, hot cooked meals and hot water production at zero to no cost.
Looking forward to your build video soon! 😊😊
Thank you so much for an awesome video! are there diagrams or drawings we can go by?
@superochoo,
Thanks for the comment.
Sorry, no diagrams or drawings just step by step video and descriptions.
Remember a video is worth a billion drawings.
But if you have any specific questions we'll try and help. 🙂
Happy building.
