Thanks for the help guys
Next year my 2nd system will have the releaser 450' from the vacuum pump. What size pipe do I need between the 2? Here's the setup, 450 taps on 1'' and 3/4'' mainlines. The vac pump is a Kinney 3hp...
My DeLavel 76 vane pump has no gaskets.
Good to know. I also thought it my pc. I can't get in either.
If I were you i'd put the tank outside on a platform. I had for 1 year a 100 gallon tank up in the trusses of the evap room and all it did was drip condensate all over. Cold sap, warm air, you know...
Talking about CV's, I have had 2 of the check balls get out of the fitting and make its way to the saddle on the main line and plug it up. Anybody else have this happen? Oh, 3/4 main line.
I use a Delaval 76. That's the one that is 3hp and roughly 35 cfm. All of my taps are on 7 sap ladders. I think it works great. I'm not buying 27'' vac. levels though. These pumps are designed to run...
I am a self-employed heating & a/c guy. Mostly residential, but we'll do some strip malls. 33 plus years and still like what I do.
I burn all oak slab wood.
Jim made my pans and i'm very happy. You can't go wrong. Good luck.
We ended up with 66 gallons. Best year so far.
I think the 1st sap came about march 28th and finished up at the end of april. Yeah real late this year, but we ended up with 66.5 gallons. Previous high was 27 gallons.
I'm thinking you'll get 6 to 8 gph
Now thats what I call a good wife. Have fun with it this year.
Being an HVAC guy, I size vent pipes by BTU input. I deal with natural and Lp gas. I don't work with fireplaces. Now I also have a half pint arch (modified). The stock size on that rig is 6''. Now I...
I've seen the same video. yes, very cool. I like at the end where it shows the syrup just pouring out of the finish pan.
My guess is you'll boil at about 8 gph. So on the slower runs, yes you will hit your mark, but on heavy run days you'll have to boil every day. My 1st setup boiled at 6gph and I think I had 90 taps....
Just picked up a Masport M3. No label, so i'm wondering if anybody knows what the cfm rating might be. It has a 3hp motor that drives the pump. My guess is its similar to a Delaval 76. That pump...
Its hard to say how old it is. The arch is a home build but done real nice. The pans are in i'd say better then good condition. They were soldered pans. The current owner only used it once in the...
Ran accross a guy selling a 3'x12'(Denis Darveau evaporator) w/steam hoods. Pans looked to be in good condition. Does anybody know anything about Darveau evap co? The sap pan is drop flue and is...
Bruce, I have one of those and although I'm not on high vac. I have no doubt it would work just fine. Let er buck.
I cant answer that question without more info. about your pipeline. A rule of thumb is if you have good pitch with no ladders you need 1cfm per 100 taps. I'm in the hvac business and from experiance...
A refrigeration vac pump that is used for residential a/c systems and or light com. typically will be rated between 3 and 7cfm. they will pull down to a very deep vac 28+ and they can run for days...
Try going to your local HVAC shop. They can layout that fitting and bend it up. In less then an hour plus material.
