[SEL] Superior Hot Tube Chimney's

[peter ogborne]

Keith ........I have had very little to do with Hot Tube engines . I am
restoring an engine that I am told is a Hot Tube . When you speak of the
''Chimney '' I assume this is to increase draught from the lamp,am I 
correct?
When we speak of ''Constant Lamp''engines would this depend on the load/temp 
of the combustion chamber?
My engine has a separate combustion chamber rather like the Hornsby Ackroyd 
style. There is no chimney,just a shroud covering the tube with access for 
the lamp flame ............I don't know if this engine is constant lamp or 
not .......any ideas ,thanks?
