oxy propane

[Bloders]

currently use oxy propane for heating

is there a torch available to use propane and compressed air instead of the oxygen?
would save having to have oxygen bottle on rent etc

 

[Lincs Lass]

Would compressed air have moister in it,pure bottled oxygen is clean

Just get a rent free oxygen bottle if you don't use much. I get ours through our local motor factor. £50 deposit for a 2/3 size bottle.

gas is from this lot http://www.sgsgases.co.uk.

its also got nearly 80% nitrogen hence im thinking it might work, but probably wont

D&A Factors do them, so 6 miles away and they will deliver FOC. Might even keep a spare bottle of welding gas as you don't have to pay rent.

Do D&A come as far North as you?

You could get one of these if its just for heating but no idea how long it would take to heat a lump of metal.

Just looked them up Montrose is their most Northerly Depot.

Why not contact SGS. You could stock them yourself if they have no agent you way?

edit Just looked on their website- Autoparts Inverurie is you nearest.

Might just about be acceptable for blowing heat into a firebrick hearth, in the open it would take forever. Had a Calor version once.

wait, what's the actual application?
I have built naturally aspirated propane forges before

general heating bits of metal up to form them.

is this an open hearth? a closed forge would allow you to modify a plain propane torch and get high temperatures, i have forge welded (1300C) in naturally aspirated propane forge, but it depends what variety of things you need to get heated
