Steam Generator with 20L Keg Reservoir
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2024 11:28 am
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
