What is a waste oil boiler?

Today, heating equipment that operates during mining is very popular. This is due to a number of distinctive advantages of the device. First of all, this is the low cost of installation and the availability of fuel, which can be purchased for a nominal fee. Exhaust heating does not require the use of resources in the form of electricity and gas, which makes it economically profitable.


Despite its many advantages, the development boiler also has its disadvantages.

Note! Recycling waste products in full has a beneficial effect on the environment, eliminating the disposal of oil and its release onto the ground and into water bodies.

When the boiler is set up correctly, the waste oil is burned completely, which prevents the formation of toxic combustion products. The device consists of a minimum number of parts, which can be seen in boiler diagrams. This increases the reliability and durability of the structure. It does not take much time to heat up the boiler. Forced convection helps to quickly increase the temperature in the room.

Despite its many advantages, the boiler during testing also has disadvantages. When the device operates, moisture evaporates from the air and oxygen is burned, which negatively affects human health. Therefore, the boiler should be located in a non-residential area with a good ventilation system. Devices during mining quickly become dirty. This especially applies to the plasma bowl and chimney.

For such a boiler, different types of waste oil can be used, which is characterized by an abundance of various impurities. Therefore, to ensure a long period of operation of the device, a filter should be installed in the place where oil is supplied to the boiler, which must be changed as it becomes dirty.


The waste oil boiler should be located in a non-residential area with a good ventilation system.

How does an exhaust boiler work?

Boilers for a private home using waste oil, as well as for a garage, workshop or industrial premises, have a simple design. They consist of two chamber compartments: an evaporation chamber and a combustion chamber. In the first compartment, the process of preparing used oil for combustion is carried out. In the second, it is burned. The principle of operation of the device is as follows.

From a container with used oil, the pump supplies the substance to the evaporation chamber, which is located in the lower part of the device. It maintains the required temperature, sufficient for heating and subsequent evaporation of the waste. Oil vapor rises to the upper zone of the housing, where the combustion chamber is located. It is additionally equipped with an air duct in the form of a pipe with holes. Using a fan, air is supplied through an air duct into the chamber, where it is mixed with oil vapor. The resulting mixture burns without a residue.

The heat exchanger distributes the resulting heat. The resulting combustion products enter the chimney. A mandatory process is preheating of the waste. Oil contains many impurities; under the influence of a certain temperature, the substance decomposes into simple carbons, which are subsequently burned. As a result, water vapor, nitrogen and gas are formed, which are harmless to the body.


Waste oil boilers have a simple design.

Complete oxidation of carbohydrates is possible only at a temperature of 600 °C. If this value is not observed, the combustion process produces many toxic substances that are extremely dangerous to human health.

Production of a boiler for development

Almost anyone can make a working boiler. There are many designs and methods, all of them have been tested in practice and are widely used. There are two main designs, let's look at them.

Boiler-boiler during testing

Drawings of heating units

In the first case, the boiler consists of two chambers connected to each other by a pipe with holes. The evaporation compartment is located in the lower chamber, where open combustion of the waste occurs. Afterburning occurs in a pipe with holes into which air is supplied naturally. After the pipe there is a second chamber, in which the speed of movement of fuel vapors decreases.

The partition in the upper compartment also serves for complete oxidation and connection with nitrogen. A chimney is installed higher, it serves to remove combustion products and additional draft. Light the boiler using a rag soaked in gasoline or kerosene. In the lower compartment there is a special damper that regulates the air supply to the first combustion chamber. For hot water supply and heating systems, a water jacket is installed in the second compartment. It is important to leave a gap between the pipe and the tank of at least 70 mm.

The second manufacturing method involves more economical use of fuel.

The power of the device can reach 15 kW.

The design contains a turbine for forced air supply. Increased boost burns the fuel mixture more efficiently. The waste tank is taken out separately and a valve is installed on it to regulate the oil supply to the boiler or stop it completely. As in the first case, the central pipe is equipped with slots or holes for efficient combustion of fuel vapors. The waste combustion products are also removed through the chimney; when installing it, sharp corners and sharp turns should not be allowed. Recommended length is at least 4 m.

This design allows you to comply with all safety requirements, and also makes it possible to easily install water elements of the heating system. The most economical.

Instructions for making a boiler for testing yourself

In order to make a waste oil boiler with your own hands, you must follow the following instructions:

  1. The gas cylinder must first be emptied. The valve is turned off from above, the container is turned over and all the contents are drained. The cylinder is washed with water, only then can welding and cutting work be carried out.
  2. Two openings are cut out in the container, leaving a strip of at least 50 mm between them. The upper compartment is made larger so that firewood can be loaded into it. The cut parts are not thrown away; these will be hatches for loading fuel.
  3. Hinges are welded to openings and hatches.
  4. A ring equal to the inner diameter of the cylinder is cut out of a sheet of steel 4 mm thick, and a hole is made in it slightly larger than the diameter of the burner (100 mm). Serves as a partition between the combustion compartment and the heat exchanger.
  5. Cut a piece 200 mm long from the steel pipe, make holes on the entire surface for a length of 95 mm.
  6. The burner blank is inserted into the previously made ring up to the holes and welded.
  7. The partition is installed at the level of the upper combustion compartment.
  8. A brake disc from a passenger car can serve as a blank for the evaporator. It is first necessary to close all the technological holes from the bottom and top; for this, two rings are cut out of a sheet of steel, one will be the bottom, and the other will be the lid. Then they are welded, a hole is made in the cover for subsequent installation of the coupling.
  9. A 150 mm long section is cut from the pipe, then you need to cut it lengthwise and slightly move the walls apart to 3-4 mm. Afterwards, the workpiece is welded to the combustion bowl and attached to the burner.
  10. A water jacket is formed from a steel sheet around the boiler, and everything should be scalded with a continuous seam.
  11. Pipes for draining and supplying water are installed at the bottom and top.
  12. Mount the chimney in the lid and install it on the boiler.
  13. A hole is made in the wall of the gas cylinder, a tube is inserted into it at an angle, its end is placed above the fuel supply window. After adjusting the extension length, the tube is scalded.
  14. A thread is cut on the mining supply pipe and a tap connected to the barrel is installed.

Types of waste oil boilers

There are three options for waste oil boilers: water heating, heating and domestic. The first option is an alternative to a modern boiler. Having a platform design, the device heats up the flat surface where the water tank is located. A small pump is installed at the outlet of the tank, which regulates the pressure in the system.

Note! It is very difficult to change the temperature of the water, so if necessary, it is recommended to dilute it with cold water.

For water heating boilers using waste oil, a water tank with a volume of no more than 140 liters is used. It heats up within 2 hours, which is several times faster than the operating speed of a modern electric boiler. An oil water heater can operate in two modes: fast and wick. The first option is used to heat completely cold water. The wick mode allows the water in the container to be heated. However, this will require a large amount of fuel resource.


There are three options for waste oil boilers: water heating, heating and domestic.

Note! Oil water heaters for mining are installed in basements, since they are non-transportable.

Domestic boilers are considered the ideal solution for country houses. They have a built-in gas purification mechanism, which contributes to the operation of the device without smoke. Such devices are mobile structures, which will allow them to be moved to any place without affecting the functionality of the product. This multifunctional device allows you not only to heat the room, but also to heat food. The unit can be used outdoors or while traveling.

Automation for waste oil boilers can perform various functions. Here you can set up control over the heating of the coolant and the air temperature in the room. Such devices are installed on the floor. Their cost depends on the functional features of the device.


Due to the compact size of the hot water boiler, it is convenient to install it in the boiler room.

Delivery is carried out by transport companies to all regions of Russia, countries of the customs union and the CIS.

Characteristics of a waste oil heating boiler

The waste oil heating boiler must be located in a non-residential area. As a rule, to heat a house it is installed in a special extension. Despite the fact that modern devices are equipped with an improved filtration unit, during operation they emit an unpleasant odor of machine oil.

The inside of the unit is equipped with a heating unit with a water tube and a hydraulic pump. The last element can operate from the electrical network or from the energy generated by the device itself. Using a hydraulic pump, the coolant circulates in the circuit in the form of ordinary water.

The principle of operation of the device is as follows. In the combustion chamber, oil vapors and air masses, which enter under the influence of a ventilated compressor, are oxidized. The fire level is regulated using a hose with a valve. The ventilation device is the only movable element, as a result of which it may fail.

Such boilers are characterized by high performance and the ability to maintain room temperature for a long time. The fuel container is located on the floor, and the air heater can be mounted on the wall or ceiling.


The internal part of the boiler block is equipped with a heating unit with a water tube and a hydraulic pump.

Subtleties of the process of creating a boiler for testing with your own hands

The most important component of the fuel combustion process is the preheating of the waste. This will allow the heavy substance to oxidize into light components. This result can be achieved by creating a thick-walled hot metal bowl into which the waste will be fed in drops.

When oil hits hot metal, the substance turns into vapor, which is discharged into the combustion chamber. There they must mix with air for better combustion, for which an air duct is used. It is equipped with an impeller, thanks to which the flow swirls, which contributes to a long stay of the oil-air mixture in the combustion chamber. Only in this case will the fuel burn completely.

To carry out the heating process of the evaporation bowl, a wick soaked in fuel should be placed in it. Next, a little diesel or gasoline is added and ignition is performed. When the metal heats up to the desired temperature, oil is supplied. This process is simple but very dangerous. Therefore, it is important to properly organize the flow of the substance into the nozzle for a waste oil boiler.


When oil hits hot metal, the substance turns into vapor, which is discharged into the combustion chamber.

If the oil flows in a stream, the fuel will not have time to burn. As a result, toxic components are formed that are hazardous to human health. To achieve efficient combustion without smoke, a drip supply of fuel should be arranged. To do this, a hose is used, at one end of which a filter is installed. It is better to use a full filtration automotive oil element. Then a fragment of a medical dropper with a wheel-regulator is put on the hose. The element is fixed to the fitting. The oil from the dropper is directed into a funnel, which is connected to a pipe. It supplies fuel to the combustion bowl.

Making your own waste oil boiler with a water circuit

Based on studying the boiler drawing with your own hands using waste oil, the following necessary materials and tools are prepared:

  • sheet of metal 4 mm thick for a tank or pipe with a diameter of 500 mm;
  • pipes with a cross section of 200 mm;
  • sheet metal 6 mm thick to create a cover;
  • metal plates 3 mm thick;
  • a piece of pipe for installing a chimney;
  • oil supply pump;
  • fan;


To make your own waste oil boiler with a water circuit, you need to know its components.

  • steel adapters;
  • heat-resistant sealant;
  • metal corner for supports;
  • grinders with cutting wheel;
  • drills;
  • hammer;
  • set of keys;
  • welding machine with electrodes.

On a note! To make it easier to create a homemade boiler for mining, you can use ready-made barrels for oxygen or propane.

The boiler body is conventionally divided into two parts. The heating radiator will be located at the bottom, and the water jacket will be at the top.

The process of making a boiler with your own hands using waste oil begins with the manufacture of an internal tank in the form of a container with a water jacket, a channel for oxygen supply and an oil pipe.


The boiler body is conventionally divided into two parts: the radiator and the water jacket.

The dimensions of the tank elements are marked on a sheet of metal according to the drawing of the waste oil boiler. All parts are connected by welding. At the bottom of the housing there is a door for removing the bowl and igniting the oil. To speed up the process, the body can be made from a fragment of a pipe with a diameter of 500 mm and a length of 1 m.

Two round-shaped elements are cut out of metal plates, which will serve as the bottom and cover of the case. A round hole is made in the upper part, the size corresponding to the diameter of the perforated pipe into which it is inserted and welded. The body is covered with two plates by welding. Legs made of reinforcing bars are attached to its bottom.

The upper tank is made in a similar way. There is a hole in the lid for the chimney. To connect two containers, a burner tube with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 35 cm is used. Holes with a diameter of 9 mm in the amount of 50 pieces are made in it. over the entire area of ​​the product.

By welding, all elements are connected to each other according to the drawing of the waste oil boiler. After installing the device on a flat concrete base, the chimney is installed. Its length is 3.5-4 m. To ensure good traction, the pipe must be inclined. The outer part must be vertical, and it is equipped with a special cover to protect it from snow and rain.

Making a waste oil boiler with your own hands

Tools and materials

To make a homemade boiler that works during mining, we will need the following tools:

  • Bulgarian.
  • Drill.
  • Angle grinder.
  • Pliers, screwdrivers, hammer and other basic tools.
  • Welding machine.

As the main starting materials, you need to take two pipes of different diameters or a steel sheet, from which you can make them yourself.

Instructions

At the very beginning, a small logical diagram of the future device is sketched out. The easiest way is to make an air-heating model. A larger diameter pipe will serve as a combustion chamber, and oxygen will flow into the firebox through an inner tube with a diameter of about 100 mm.

First, the bottom is made in a pipe of larger diameter, and the legs are welded from below. Next, holes are made in the thin pipe from below using a drill. A bowl for burning oil is attached to the same side. A hole is made on the side of the upper part of the cylinder for the chimney and a piece of thin tube is welded on the outside. A homemade damper is welded from the inside to reduce the diameter of the chimney.

A lid is cut out of steel, in which a hole is made in diameter that matches the diameter of a thin pipe, which is welded into it so that the bowl of oil does not reach the bottom of the barrel 50 mm. A water pipe is installed in the center, through which oil will flow into the bowl from the drinker in a thin stream.

A small hole is also made in the lid, which will serve as an observation window. Strips of steel are welded to the lid along the contour so that it fits closely to the cylinder.

Making such a boiler yourself can take a lot of time and effort, but it will save a lot of money first on the purchase of factory equipment, and subsequently on fuel.

From a gas cylinder

The production of heating equipment using waste oil from a gas cylinder will follow the same scheme. It’s just that the cylinder is both a firebox and a lid. It is necessary to cut off the top part with a grinder and install all the necessary internals.


Gas cylinder boiler

Oil options for waste oil boilers

Any type of waste oil can be used for these boilers. Not only machine ones are considered suitable, but also shock-absorbing, transformer, transmission, motor, hydraulic, rapeseed, vegetable and other types. The main requirement for fuel is the absence of water, flushing fluids, antifreeze and other undesirable components in its composition. Machine oil is the cheapest and most accessible option. It can be purchased in sufficient quantities at any service station.


Any type of waste oil can be used for boilers.

A diesel fuel boiler is characterized by maximum efficiency. Oily substances can be added to it, which will act as a catalyst, which promotes a good combustion process. This could be fuel oil, kerosene, or barbecue lighter.

It is strictly forbidden to use alcohol, gasoline and other flammable substances as fuel for exhaust boilers.

Note! During combustion, fuel must not be added to containers. It is filled only after the fill has completely burned out and the tank has cooled down.
