oil burner

[Breezy Lane Sugarworks]

I have a 3 gph oil burner off of a furnace, and I was wondering if anybody knew if it is enough gph to run a 2 1/2 x 8 evaporator.

Ryan,

Don't know much about oil, but from my research from earlier this year since I was thinking about converting over to oil is that you need aprox a 5gph nozzle or higher on a 2.5 x 8. It should work, just don't think you would get the gph boiled you really need to make it crank like it should. :wink:

You can max out the burner by turning up the pump pressure(if it's not set at 140psi already)and still use a 3gph nozzel and maybe get another .55 gallon out of it , But your really at the max, Brandons right , My 2x6 calls for a 3gph, I will probably be a bit higher maybe 3.5. you will need like a carlin 301 which does appx 2-6gph
