Great video pal! I was thinking about building yarrow type boiler for my project, 2-cylinder steam engine made from lawnmover engines. Great inspiration!
Thanks for sharing your design! What is the purpose of the metal hose going to the bottom pipe connected to the galvinized pipe? Do you have a safety valve in the design?
First of all thanks for the video. Would you mind explaining what the purpose of the pipe on the ground at 0.30 min is and why is it connected with the the upper one.
What pressure must the water be injected at and how do you ensure that the tubes are full? Also, how much water does your boiler consume per minute or per hour when producing steam? Thanks in advance!
I use a sight glass to ensure the tubes are full (forward of the cinder blocks in the vid). This boiler (retired now) uses a hydrostatic pump to replace the water. It can achieve any pressure needed to overcome the internal pressure of the boiler. My next boiler will use a "live steam injector". You could write a novel on how they work.....but they do. Thanks for watching! I think I just responded to your comment on the turbine...so double thanks.

Is it continuous process or do we need to wait for water pipe to heat up ? If needed time to do so, How much time do we need to heat it up to get this much steam pressure ?
@@gwseymour yes, I`m just thinking, if I apply pressure on the other side to supply water, water will go out strait on the other side where the steam comes out.
The upper and lower drums are 4" pipe. The water tubes are 1.5" pipe. The lengths I'll have to measure...can't recall. The unit was modified since the vid, and has since been retired. It was just a test, and I'm going to build a new one when it cools off in Florida. If you make your own, do a lot of research. Thanks for watching.
During this test, we were maintaining 30 - 45 psi. Here is a link of it running an engine at different pressures, 30 - 70 psi. th-cam.com/video/zdwcPel4jA4/w-d-xo.html
Hope You still read comment section... Are those pipes connected to each other? I mean, can water flow through the bottom and upper ones? What is the water level? Does it have to be up to the glass pipe? Thanks in advance! Chris
Sorry for the delay. I'm still in hurricane recovery. Everything is connected. The water level is has to be above the fire, so generally right up to the bottom of the top main tube. Research water tube boilers. There are many good diagrams.
Very nice boiler. I assume you welded the tubes together. Do you think it would be possible to silver solder or braze them instead if the holes were drilled carefully?
Thank you. I personally wouldn't trust either to hold under the heat. If you can braze, and you have oxy/acetylene it isn't much of a leap to gas weld....which I would trust.
@@gwseymour Understood, thanks. I have various gas torches but not oxy/acetylene. I do have an arc/tig welder though - just need to learn to use it! :-)
@@gwseymour Yes, I'm sure you are right regarding the welding - certainly for this type of boiler at least. Am aware of the regs issue, but thanks anyway. Gary.
Just curious, you are supplying water to it via a hydro-static test pump. Couldn't you gravity feed the water from sealed pressure tank? For example: You take a 20lb propane tank, fill it with water and weld a pipe to the bottom of the tank feeding to the low end of your water tubes. Then you have a sealed system with gravity fed water for the 4.7 gallons the 20lb tank holds. So you don't have to pump it every couple minutes. I assume 4.7 gallons would last some time.
@@psmalec2510That's really just making a bigger boiler with less heating surface. Pascale's law dictates that the pressure would be equal, even without the small line. Problem is that any gasses on top have to expand at a rate equal to the release at the valve. Example: The unit is at 60psi, and there is 10 cubic inches of gas in the top of your tank. You open the valve and the pressure drops to 30psi. The 10 cubic inches has to expand to 20 cubic inches. This will force water out the valve instead of steam. The propane tank "reservoir" is just an extension of the boiler. If your small line was big enough, the expanding gasses from the top of the tank would certainly travel thru and mix with the steam...condensing it prematurely. Thanks for watching, and thinking!
@@gwseymour if the design is changed as the P Smalec said and the pipe is made quite large ... then the steam valve is moved to the top of propane tank ... is this useful for making steam faster? or would mean nothing..say it have to wait until all the water in the tank is boiling?
I've changed the design a bit since this vid, and air tested it to 175. I would not go that high with steam. That's just me personally. I believe the sight glass and gaskets would go first. The upper and lower drums are DOM tubing, and the water tubes are Schedule 40. Both have a bust pressure many times over over 175. It's not so much the psi, but making sure your water level is always above the fire level. Steel looses have it's strength at 700 F. It's the boiling water that keeps it "cool". I would research many designs if you want 175 reliably and safely.
looks u put water in tube side then close~ u make up air pressure until something level(looks the red box) and then start buring fire tube.... so tube inside water being vapor then u open out-put valve so steam come out...... right?

@@trikus8501 I replied to the comment below (don't know why I'm just now seeing them). Please don't use propane tanks for steam. There are many types of boilers. Water tube boilers are for producing steam quickly and safely. Increasing the volume of water or steam won't gain anything in efficiency. It just takes longer to boil your water, and more stored steam volume becomes more dangerous. All boilers need to have water added constantly. It's the coolant that keeps the steel from deforming.
It's all schedule 40 steel. The tubes are about 1/8, and the top and bottom tanks are 1/4. The beauty is that its mostly full of water, and produces steam on demand. Water can't be compressed, and therefore can't expand (blow up)...only steam can. I had a gasket failure and it went "puff" instead of "boom" and then sprayed water... because there is minimal compressed gasses inside. Kind of like a car radiator.

Yes Sir. Schedule 40 pipe. The boiler in this vid was just a first test, though and changed a lot. Keep studying the early designs, failures, stress points etc. The most important part of any boiler is that the water level stays above the fire. In other words, you don't want fire touching any steel that doesn't have water behind it. The boiling water acts as a coolant to keep the steel from reaching temps where it begins to weaken.
@@tatethompson2648 Sure. Dirty water tends to "surge". Any bubble increases in size proportional to the drop in pressure (Pascale's Law), and the boiling temp increases / decreases with pressure changes. Feel free to e-mail me for more in depth at infoglenwoodrd@gmail.com
Great demonstration , what are its specifications PSI Steam temp Fuel consumption I have a requirement of one of the same high pressure boiler for sterilizing mushroom substrate , will it serve the purpose ? Please contact me with quotation
I corresponded with someone else about that purpose. I don't know a lot about sterilizing substrate, however having given it some thought, I'm not sure it would be suitable. The steam is fairly "cold" a few feet out of the nozzle. Having said that, the numbers vary depending on how much fire, water you use.
Я хочу применить что-то похожее в качестве подогревателя воды в бассейне на даче. Конечно и труб надо будет побольше, сам бассейн не маленький. Но сама идея использовать дрова от старого забора мне действительно нравится. Так что спасибо автору!
No Sir. It would be subject to the same internal pressure / laws as the boiler. Any trapped gasses accumulated at the top would expand rapidly when steam is released, and force the water down into (and out of) the boiler....just like a residential well tank. Pascale's Law dictates that all pressures inside an enclosed vessel must remain equal. A cubic foot of gas at 60 psi becomes two cubic feet of gas at 30 psi. Thanks for watching!
@@gwseymour ok sir thanks the answer, I understand ... if the water supply is replaced with an electric water pump ... with the addition of a one-way valve..will it be able to supply the water continuously?
@@trikus8501 Yes, but the pump would have to produce far more psi than what is in the boiler. Much like filling a tire with an air compressor. A water pump that advertises "10 pints per minute at 125 psi" will barely produce if the boiler is at 80 psi. I think what you are really looking for is called a "live steam injector". I'll have one on my next boiler.

Sorry, I thought I responded to this. I don't know much about paddy rice boiling. I can tell you that the visible steam (already condensing) is not that hot.
@@gwseymour thank you....any idea of what the temperature of the visible steam can be? Also, how can I sustain the temperature of the steam...so that I can use it
Steam temperature is generally sustained under pressure. Picture releasing pressure from an air compressor with the bleed valve. It becomes very cold, and sometimes forms ice. I've never measured the temp of the escaping steam, but I know you can pass your hand through it a few feet away from the nozzle.
@@hamdyahmed5058 I would not put anything but pure water in it. Even slight impurities cause many problems with the behavior of the bubbles. Salt is especially corrosive.

If you're asking how much it cost me to build, I'd say around $300 (including the water injector). If you're asking if I can sell one, unfortunately I cannot. Steam boilers are highly regulated state to state.

Yes Sir. Schedule 40 pipe. The boiler in this vid was just a first test, though and changed a lot. Keep studying the early designs, failures, stress points etc. The most important part of any boiler is that the water level stays above the fire. In other words, you don't want fire touching any steel that doesn't have water behind it. The boiling water acts as a coolant to keep the steel from reaching temps where it begins to weaken.
@@gwseymour is an anti priming pipe necessary? Do you have any issues with bubbling or anything like that
@@tatethompson2648 Sure. Dirty water tends to "surge". Any bubble increases in size proportional to the drop in pressure (Pascale's Law), and the boiling temp increases / decreases with pressure changes. Feel free to e-mail me for more in depth at infoglenwoodrd@gmail.com
Will it make more energy than it takes to pump the water
I'm sure...but ultimately any boiler is best fed with a live steam injector.
How much steam flow..?
That varies relative to the amount of fire. I really don't have an exact answer.
how much pressure can be achieve?
I've had it up to 100 psi.
Nice
Thanks!
Agradecido por el vídeo . Podría hacer un dibujo esquemático de su proyecto . Gracias
Great demonstration , what are its specifications
PSI
Steam temp
Fuel consumption
I have a requirement of one of the same high pressure boiler for sterilizing mushroom substrate , will it serve the purpose ?
Please contact me with quotation
I corresponded with someone else about that purpose. I don't know a lot about sterilizing substrate, however having given it some thought, I'm not sure it would be suitable. The steam is fairly "cold" a few feet out of the nozzle. Having said that, the numbers vary depending on how much fire, water you use.
Use the idea . Do some material manipulation elevate the pressure . Work on the scale For your propose
@@gwseymour not answered, what asked!
@@RehmatAliWriter Perhaps you didn't read his whole question. He wanted the numbers for sterilizing substrate.
@@gwseymour Temperature of steam?
Where does it go if you shut off that valve?
The pressure builds, and then a relief valve is activated.
It's Work
can you give further explanations about this device please!
What would you like to know?
@@gwseymour what to do with it?
А мне нравится... пускай шипит. )))
Спасибо!
Я хочу применить что-то похожее в качестве подогревателя воды в бассейне на даче. Конечно и труб надо будет побольше, сам бассейн не маленький. Но сама идея использовать дрова от старого забора мне действительно нравится. Так что спасибо автору!
Пожалуйста
where will buy this boiler
I built it. Thanks for watching!
if the hydro-tester is replaced with a water tank ... can the system run continuously?
No Sir. It would be subject to the same internal pressure / laws as the boiler. Any trapped gasses accumulated at the top would expand rapidly when steam is released, and force the water down into (and out of) the boiler....just like a residential well tank. Pascale's Law dictates that all pressures inside an enclosed vessel must remain equal. A cubic foot of gas at 60 psi becomes two cubic feet of gas at 30 psi. Thanks for watching!
@@gwseymour ok sir thanks the answer, I understand ... if the water supply is replaced with an electric water pump ... with the addition of a one-way valve..will it be able to supply the water continuously?
@@trikus8501 Yes, but the pump would have to produce far more psi than what is in the boiler. Much like filling a tire with an air compressor. A water pump that advertises "10 pints per minute at 125 psi" will barely produce if the boiler is at 80 psi. I think what you are really looking for is called a "live steam injector". I'll have one on my next boiler.
@@gwseymour oh I see .. can't wait to see your next boiler..I will subscribe to your channel to follow its development ..
@@trikus8501 Thanks! As soon as it cools down in Florida, we'll resume....also have a new turbine to demo.

Hola buenas señor maravilloso el nivel de vapor...pero no entiendo para que esta conectada la maquina color rojo. Eso es aire a presion?
¡Gracias! Sirve para añadir agua dulce a presión.
Y tiene un mecanismo de mangueras de color rojo y azul y esta con un aparato eso es para que el agua quede detenida y solo salga vapor quiero estoy para hacer un baño turco a vapor ....porfavor me ayuda a saber el funcionamiento.
.saludos y felcitaciones intente esto con olla a presion pero el vapor era muy escaso...

i see that pump youre using...were you a pipefitter?
## The process through which the dissolved gases are removed from water is called the “Deaeration Process”. The equipment, which is used in this method, is called “Deaerator“.
# Why do we use deaerators?…
The Deaerator (DA) tank uses steam to preheat boiler feedwater to a temp. at which dissolved O2 & CO2 will become separated from the feedwater before it is pumped to the boiler. The purpose is to protect the boiler and steam/condensate piping from corrosion that would be present when the water evaporates into steam. An additional benefit is that the number of chemicals used to treat the boiler water can be reduced.

@@Rony098963 i used those pumps to pressurize buildings i had fit for fire sprinklers....whatever static street pressure was.....the building had to hold that pressure until the inspector passed it
Capasity water??
Can you show us how you make this system...so thanks
I'm sorry, I didn't make plans. Also, this was just a test, and there have been a lot of changes since the video.
What is feeding the low end?
A hydrostatic test pump, with an extra check valve. You have to give it a few pumps every few minutes.
how the smoke come out?
I don't understand the question.
Stub in tubes and fillet weld?
Well first don't follow this design. It has changed a lot since the vid. The externals are prefabbed welding bungs, and the primary water tubes were fitted and welded with 7018. the end caps have been completely changed and the steam dome removed. Thanks for watching!
What to do if adding water?
Water is pumped in through a hydro-static tester, which exceeds the internal pressure of the boiler.

Por lo que se ve tiene que inyectar el agua a presión para vencer la presión del sistema,de ahí esta el aparato rojo, que se usa para testar instalaciones de fontanería y otras aplicaciones. Es un buen uso del vapor de agua ya que la mejor forma de transferir calor es utilizando el calor latente en un fluido en estado de vapor
@@eduardomoron9590 y para qué sirve esto?
@@AntonioRomero-rq5zs para generar vapor a alta presión y temperatura, puedes mover un generador de corriente, puedes crear una calefacción muchísimo más eficiente que el fuego que la alimenta,en nueva York utilizan plantas gigantes de vapor para generar calefacción a edificios enteros, generar corriente eléctrica, ese vapor residual de generar electricidad vale para planchar, calentar alimentos, en cualquier proceso donde el calor esté presente. Si te creas un espejo curvo y pasas por mitad calculando la refracción de la luz que incida sobre el tubo, ya no necesitas el fuego porque el sol haría el trabajo y lo haría gratis
30 psi .. awesome
Thanks for watching!
I'd like to build a boiler like this. Would it be possible for you to sell your plan?

A hydostatic pressure tester used for injecting fresh water
Can you please share its construction video?
I did not make a video, and it was changed a lot since this video. Thanks for watching.
Interesting love your design, looks straight forward, Thinking of a way to adapt this for paddy rice per boiling using the steam...and purely using wood or charcoal as fire source...any hint will be appreciated..
Sorry, I thought I responded to this. I don't know much about paddy rice boiling. I can tell you that the visible steam (already condensing) is not that hot.
@@gwseymour thank you....any idea of what the temperature of the visible steam can be?
Also, how can I sustain the temperature of the steam...so that I can use it
Steam temperature is generally sustained under pressure. Picture releasing pressure from an air compressor with the bleed valve. It becomes very cold, and sometimes forms ice. I've never measured the temp of the escaping steam, but I know you can pass your hand through it a few feet away from the nozzle.
How does it work and how you made it .
Can you teach how to made it
I'm working on a step by step, detailed video....almost done.
I'm making a better one soon. I'll try and make a quick vid. Thanks for watching.

how many liters does it consume in minute
That depends on how much steam you are using. Running like it is in the video, about 1/2 liter per minute.
@@gwseymour what happen if i put salt watet ? will the salt get out with steam ?
@@hamdyahmed5058 I would not put anything but pure water in it. Even slight impurities cause many problems with the behavior of the bubbles. Salt is especially corrosive.
@@gwseymour iwant to use it to extract salt by it .. to speed The evaporation process
@@hamdyahmed5058 I recommend making a distiller. I would not put salt water in a steam boiler. It won't work. Thanks for watching though.
interesting. apparently you don't use galvanized pipes on pressurized steam applications steam decays the zinc. You have no way of checking the water level in the set up currently.
👍
is there water in it
Yes
I love your project can I have a model of your design
Max 30psi?
It's been revised since the vid. I run it up to 120. Thanks for watching!
You're welcome

Well, a lot of changes were made since this initial test. I really don't have a schematic. What do you mean by conditioning a tobacco shed?
@@gwseymour please do have a more detailed video...I see another pipe connected to the hose from steam outlet does that send some steam to the back end containing water...also the device at the back is a water pump??
@@engrcyrilinalu6204 The hose is connected to a sight glass to maintain water level. The device at the back is a water pump. This design was only a test. Changes were made after the vid, and it was eventually scrapped to make a larger one.

how do you feed it with water?
The hand operated feedpump is visible on the left
@@janvisser2223 Haha, sorry I was being totally general. Isn't 30psi too much for your hand to supply? Isn't it hard even for a mechanical pump?
@@makisxatzimixas2372 these test pumps can reach about 850 psi, so no problem with respect to the pressure I think.
Flow is something else, you have to cope with the steam production which of course depends on the amount of fuel you are burning
@@makisxatzimixas2372 these test pumps can reach about 850 psi, so no problem with respect to the pressure I think.
Flow is something else, you have to deal with the generated steam production which in turn depends on the amount of fuel you are burning
@@janvisser2223 Thanks, I really have no intuition with pressures. Do you have any idea why pressured reactors are so small? I doubt regular pumps can hold 850 psi. 850 psi means that if you throw a piece of wood inside there, it will come out as sugar hahaha, but I don't honestly know.
Gwseymour, now hook that to a turbine to spin a generator. This way one can make free electricity during the winter in Alaska.
If you're watching the turbine vid link in the description, it's charging up a couple deep cycle batts. Working on a bigger one....
how mucs price
If you're asking how much it cost me to build, I'd say around $300 (including the water injector). If you're asking if I can sell one, unfortunately I cannot. Steam boilers are highly regulated state to state.
