Send a picture of what you've put together. I have worked low pressure boilers with two fuels, gas and diesel, but separately that is gas or diesel, I understand that you want to use diesel first and continue the flame with car oil, you could prove that both fuels begin the ignition and then it is oil only to heat the water you use to heat. and to have a safe system, flame control is recommended, which has flame sensor inputs and solenoid valve output and for ignition as well.
Hello, if it is working, I have already heated the house with oil but as I said, I still have to arm the automation, that is, install the solenoid valve and make the respective electrical connections. Everything is already planned how to do it but I am braking with the flame sensor. Soon I will put photos.
Burning diesel, very dirty method, you achieve a very good environmental pollution, no matter how well you have achieved combustion. With the change, you not only contaminate but also poison the surrounding atmosphere, because of the amount of additives that oils have plus the contaminants gained during use. on the other hand it gets dirty to the soul, with its manipulation, I don't see the gain you achieve with the change. luck
I respect your opinion about the pollutant. On this matter I have several concerns.
1- In this link http://solarlugo.com/product_info.php?products_id=319 you can see a used oil burner sold in Europe. What parameters will have been taken into account for approval?
2- What destination is given to used oils in Argentina?
3- Which destination would be the right one?
4- Are combustion gases more polluting than crude oil?
These are some concerns. Regarding the gain, if you live in CABA, it may be a reason for you not to see it. Regards
