Heating an oven.

[norsa]

Have now got the burner installed in the oven. Can anyone tell me how long I should expect it to take to heat an oven from say 10' to the required 20' (just roughly).

Without any further info on oven size, and burner rating, it's impossible to say, and are " ' " meant to be degrees?.

About 10 minutes.

With the heater im imagining, i reckon milliseconds.

 

[norsa]

About 10 minutes.

Thanks. About what I was expecting with a kerosene burner.

Interesting replies. Standard car oven. yes of course degrees as 20' is the benchmark.

It'd be even quicker with a combination of old thinners and eyebrow hair.

Not considered eyebrow hair. Does it burn hotter?

Is the burner inside the oven. Will there be a problem with the products of combustion getting on the paint you are curing?

watch out in winter for panel temps ...can have the oven air temps hotter than hell and the bottom half of a car will still be ice cold for ages

i wasnt paying for the gas but often gave the cars a little bake to get some heat into them

Thanks Steve, as you know, first time with a pro oven. David, from what I can gather, the burner goes through a series of pipes akin to a steam engine which act as a big radiator if you like. The fresh air is then drawn through this radiator, with the inlet fan, through the ceiling filters into the oven, then drawn through the floor filters with exhaust fan to external flue or can be recycled through the floor filters and back through the radiator. Make sense? i.e dry indirect heat.

Upshot is, it got to 20 in about 15 minutes. Few Burnie smells but as it's not been fired up in about 10 years, it's not surprising. Pleased with the resultant temperature though
