Steam Generator with 20L Keg Reservoir

[Andy_NZ]

Hey guys,

This has been inspired by Bolverk and his system and the many before that i guess!

So i dont have running water in my shed. I had to come up with a reservoir type system for my steam generator, i used the principle of the office water cooler.
The 20 litre keg has a dip tube which gives me the height of water in the horizontal 3" tube. After some testing I placed a bubble plate in between the sight glass and the dip tube this slows any surges from the boiling column and helps keep water at a constant level.

Works great and has no floats, solenoids or controls.

Please excuse the chicken scratch drawing.!

And how do i rotate pics? Thanks.
MOD EDIT: fixed
