Roger Caffin proposes several solutions to keep dirty fuel from clogging remote inverted canister stoves.
Ammonia vapor is dumped overboard. The cabin heat exchanger also controls the cabin temperature. It circulates cool water to remove excess heat (cabin air is also used to cool electronic equipment) and transfers this heat to a Freon exchanger. The Freon then transfers the heat to other ...
Another solution to older, leaky canister lights is to replace the fixtures entirely with new airtight units. "ICAT" (insulation contact, airtight) canister lights are the most energy-efficient recessed canister lights on the market. As the name suggests, they are airtight and can also be covere...
The air continues to travel from the valve assembly up through the first heat exchanger canister where heat is absorbed from the ceramic media. The preheated air moves into the combustion chamber and the temperature is increased to VOC destruction by use of a burner. The pollutants are destroyed...
The fuel is partially burned in a pre-chamber to produce high pressure, hot gases that drive the turbo-pumps (fuel pumps). The fuel is then fully burned in the main combustion chamber and the exhaust gases (water vapor) leave the nozzle at approximately 6,000 mph (10,000 km/h). Each...
The C02 canisters are fired with a special device that punctures a hole in the canister when a computer instructs it to do so. This allows a fair race. Photo courtesy of Nuclear Froggy Like Pinewood Derby cars, the basic components for CO2 dragsters come in affordable kits that can ...
OBD II also monitors the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system, but only once during a drive cycle. The purpose here is to detect leaks that allow fuel vapors to escape into the atmosphere. OBD II does this by applying vacuum or pressure to the fuel tank, vapor lines and charcoal canister....
I find that a standard butane gas canister used with a high-intensity torch head, like the Iwatani Torch Burner, does a more than adequate job. It's what I pack in my travel cooking kit. (You can read ourreview of the best kitchen torches right here.) ...
If your pump shuts off before the tank is fuel, it’s an indicator that there’s trouble with the vapor recovery system, most often a clogged carbon canister. You’ll want to have this checked sooner than later. While You Wait for the Fuel ...
Vapor Purging: When your vehicle is running and has reached certain operating conditions, the vehicle's computer (ECU or PCM) signals the evaporator purge valve, or canister purge valve, to open. Vapor Transfer: Once the canister purge valve is open, the gasoline vapors are pulled out of the...
