"Preliminary" Burner Design

A project log for Smelting Furnace for Aluminium

I am looking to build a oil or gas fired furnace for smelting Aluminium and maybe brass for casting.

So lacking any specific dimensions to the type of burner I wanted to build I put pencil to paper and drew some plans. The Burner I wanted to build is based on a Delavan Siphon Nozzle. I liked this because of the clean look and apparent ease of operation. It also will gives me the option of running on waste oil, liquid fuels, or Propane.

I have also assembled a list of components that I will need to build it. For the Preliminary parts list I gathered prices from McMastercarr being as it is a favorite site of mine for general project supplies. The list is also more of a wish list than and actual list and due to the steep price tag I will likely look for cheaper options and suppliers. As a last note I have updated my project notes .doc with this information as well.
