Envirospec PW choice

I have used this one (Hot Water Skid- 12V Burner #18V-ADC-V5635) for the past two years with no problems. Had to replace the original unloader with the much better green spring one after about 6 months. I love it!!! Now that I am doing a lot of commercial jobs (bank drive-thrus, etc), it would be nice to have a higher btu heater.

What BTU output is yours? Do they sell a higher BTU.

Is it the burner using larger fuel nozzle and air flow and a different coil pattern that produce more BTU? Or is the coil the same and the burner output higher?

Have not used one, but I am set on buying one as my next new pw purchase.
 
The guys at Envirospec could tell you what each machine's btu is (as what degree water it will produce) as I am not completely sure what mine is. But I am told that my hot water gets to 160-165 degrees (but wouldn't mind having hot water of 190-200 degrees). Mine will get the oil and grease up. But I hear that 190-200 degree water works a little better if you are going to clean a lot of drive thrus (but will use a lot more diesel). My heat will also melt away the gum in no time at all with a medium psi nozzle.

Paul will Chime in on the site to answer I'm sure, Paul runs his fleet operation on weekends and washes a bit.
 
I like it hot!

I found the hotter the water the faster the three G's

Gum, Grease and Graffiti

I used to reduce the engine rpm therefore reducing the flow and that would produce more heat at the wand.

What do you have a 120V or 12v?

you might be starving the burner for power if you reduce flow that method.

If you have a trapped pressuer unloader, use a smaller tip to flow less water through the coil, but it could wear out your unloader faster. As Russ J mentioned you need a regulating unload, it is better suited for that task.

What diameter and how many pancakes on your current coil?

Vertical burner is a 490,000 btu burner (adc burner assembly)
Horizontal is a 880,000 btu burner (sdc burner assembly)

The coil design of both allows for a better airflow around all sides of the pipe for maximum heat transfer. The nozzles are sized appropriately for the flow (gpm) of water running through the coil.

I also like the new stuff in their catalog.



Paul how long before we see an " AWRR "


Allison Washwater Recovery and Reuse equipment?

It may be a bit for that, if you want I can help you deisgn your own system.

That can achieve those temps, I would check your thermostat first if it is a preset thermostat it may only be a set to 160 degrees. If not you can go up a half size on the burner nozzle to up the BTU (more fuel, more air, more heat) you will need to also adjust the air bands to make sure it is burning clean.
