Weir Pump test on air and steam.
« on: January 20, 2023, 05:28:44 am »
Hi,

We are going away somewhere warm for a some time, and I have been tidying up jobs in the shed, and this is the last of the videos made.



Take care Tony.

Bonjour Tony,
Nice pump indeed and it size woul let it go in a boat. The final steam could be feeding a boiler under 30/40 PSI, this is the plan isn't it  ;)

Hi Raphael,

The engine isn't mine but the owner is into boats, so, maybe.

Take care Tony.

Very neat. Watching the non rotative valve gear is fascinating.
