Geoff > Here's some photos of the engine, piping, burners, and boiler. From >these can be seen the cylinder configuration, lubricator, and all. >The cylinder cranks are set at 90 degrees. Lubricator is >pass-through. Gaskets I cut myself from paper, but I forget what >kind. There's a vertical exhaust pipe behind the engine that comes >from an oil separator on the steam outlet. A drain pipe leads from >the separator down through the deck. > >The boiler is also an I.P.Engineering Mamod retrofit item. I bought >it way back and used it here as a quick way to get a functional >boiler. The burners match the Jane's in size and use fibreglass tape >for wicks. Fuel tank is at the same level as the burners. Chicken >feeder is planned for later. The firebox side cover has been removed >for the photo. The firebox is fitted with baffles to keep the flame >close to the boiler. > >I am pretty sure that the cylinders do not trap water at the >extremes of travel. I believe that the pistons stop short of the >steam ports. I will check this, however. The engine runs about the >same in either direction. On air I had it turning over at about 60 >rpm. > >Hope the links work. If not, I'll try a different way. >Steve > >http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/SteveShyvers%5CDunkirk%5CEngineSideView.jpg >http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/SteveShyvers%5CDunkirk%5CBurners.jpg >http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/SteveShyvers%5CDunkirk%5CPiping.jpg > > > >__________________________________________________________________ >Switch to Netscape Internet Service. >As low as $9.95 a month -- Sign up today at http://isp.netscape.com/register > >Netscape.
