HI Pete I have a book that tells some about these furnaces, mine shows a Sievert 8. They are told to be used for large masses of asphalt tar and lead, to seal connections at big cables. The book note that cast iron pans should be used with a flame roster attached at the bottom, if the pan does not have a flame roster, one should be placed on top. Must be the huge flame.... See an image of the book: |imgRemoved| The book can be found here It is in Dutch though, sorry. Cheers Bart
Hi Bart that's an interesting reference, thanks for posting it. What is a flame roster ? . . . . . some sort of flame spreader to avoid a (very) hot spot on the crucible being heated ? The diagram shows that the air input from the pump exits into the tank directly under the fuel pipe why therefore isn't air drawn up into the burner, I wonder, rather than going where it should above the fuel
It's just a diagram of the interiour not an actuall picture. Remember that these founts ( i hate to use that word they are so big they really are tanks)and the diagram of the air tube may appear to go under the pickup tube in reality they are off set to prevent such a thing. And the volume of air to the volume of the fount is quite small. lance
