Delevan Nozzle Questions
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:04 pm
Ok, I need some advice. Sorry if this is jumbled I hope you all can make sense of my rambling.
I bought a thomas twin wobl piston pump, it has some kind of "regulator" keeping it at around 20psi on the pressure side, i'm cool with that. I built a Kiwky burner, and while i could get it to light, It was nowhere near the performance of my old siphon nozzle i had. (Never heated anything up enough to burn clean) I'm thinking about getting a Delevan SNA nozzle, as I hear they require very little compressed air, if thats the case I could use the Thomas pump to power it with no problem. I don't mind having a 0-20psi range at all.
My question, the pump says 3cfm. The data sheets for the nozzle all say under 1cfm, I am using a heated coffee pot as my oil canister, and it hold about 1.5 gallons. If I keep it elevated so gravity helps, can I go with the .5gph or .65gph nozzle? Pressurized fuel tank is something I would be willing to do in the future, but I want to get going now.
TLDR: What nozzle should I go with considering I have 0-20psi, 3cfm capacity.
http://www.patriot-supply.com/products/ ... cfm/157592 is what I'm thinking about getting.
Harry uses a .20 gph nozzle IIRC, but he's also pushing oil to his instead of siphoning.
IF i could just get a damn burner that will stay hot and clean burning, I could start worrying about actually casting something.
