tilley R1 (radiator)

I got a radiator.
This is Junk.
I have corrected some tilley lamps.
So, I restored like them.

There is no fire from all holes like tilley's lantern.
As it was in doubt, it decomposed.







The parts in the burner head had only six holes.


I understood that it was not a problem and I was relieved.

1. Did you put a cloth mantle on the lamp? It’s a heater and uses an asbestos or metal mantle normally.

2. I’ve not seen the bottom 3X3 holes in the burner like that before.

Best regards

This burner head has many holes.
However, when disassembled, there are six holes in it.

 

@Tony

I ordered a metal mantle.
Right now, this radiator is lantern mantle.
It is under trial operation.

 

Well saved!

 

@JEFF JOHNSON

thank you.

 

That’s an unusual burner, appears to work well. thank you for sharing this.

 

@AussiePete
Now, this works for a good feeling.
thank you.

 

@dohraku

I’m very interested in that burner.

Where did you buy the heater from?

Tony

 

That is the standard Radiator burner used in the late 1940s I think. You were standing right next to one a few weeks back. ::Neil::

 

@Mackburner

I should come clean here, and confess to why I asked @dohraku that question:

I have acquired a stack of Tilley burners for heaters and lamps.

Among them are Kayen burners, copies of Tilley burners but with slight differences.

1. One of the differences between Kayen and Tilley vapourisers is that Kayen used diamond knurling on the brass, while Tilley used straight knurling.

2. Some of the heater burners have diamond-knurled locking nuts, while others have straight-knurled locking nuts. I was wondering if the knurling on the locking nut could be used to separate Tilley heater burners from Kayen.

3. The R1 above has a diamond-knurled locking nut, so I was wondering whether the heater was bought in Australia or not.

There are many variations on this style of burner in my box of burners.

Cheers

Tony
