A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

I run that style pump and although it is supposed not to work mine works flawlessly with a keel condenser. You can check back in these archives for photos and discussions [ look under Steam Queen] Max rpm is 410 and it works just as well at lower speeds Den
also check under edwards air pump for pics and more discussions

FarmerDen, thanks for your feedback - it's encouraging to know it works for you...

Can you provide any guidance on how I find the posts/articles you refer to "in the archives" - I may be being stupid, but I can't find anything, and the forum search function refuses to accept "steam queen" or even "queen" as an acceptable search term...could you perhaps include a couple of links?

Search is broken.

Use

site:http://www.thesteamboatingforum.net steam queen

in a google search. This will restrict the returned results to the 'steam queen' query specified site.
