Supplying gas to a small steam boiler
Hello Steamers,
Can anyone suggest a way to supply a small model steam plant with propane to fire it? The 3/16"-dia copper inlet tube for the gas to the boiler has both an on/off valve, and a proportioning valve to control the flow. My question relates to how to best feed the propane from a small Bernzomatic-type cylinder to the tube. Will i need a gas regulator? Can I adapt a Bernzomatic torch head in some way? How have you seen it done? This is for a small model steam plant that includes a horizontal boiler and a 4-cylinder steam engine that i inherited from my Father who made it in the 1970's and I want to get it running again. I have it currently running on compressed air up to 80psi with no problems or leaks, yet. Thanks for any help. PaulS |
