steam cleaning
I'm in need of a small steam cleaner for grease/gunk removal on bunch
of car parts that I cant remove to take to the pressure washer. Commercial units are way too expensive for me, so I'm considering building one. I need something that heats its own water, since my garage doesnt have a hot water supply. I've seen a few pressure washer attachments that look like nothing more than a common oil burner pump/fan/ignitor centered within a coil of tubing through which pressurized water is passed. Seems simple enough, especially since I've got the pressure washer and burner pump kicking aorund. Anyone build something like this? A 1500 psi coil of superheated water scares me. Alternativly, how about a low pressure version? I have more than a few low pressure pumps (200psi) which I could pass through the same coil arrangement and then onto a commerical pressure washer "gun". A simple boiler type pressure release could be fitted for cheap money to keep things kinda safe. Anyone try anything like this? Am I nuts? Anyone have a unit near boston they are willing to part with? Vin |
