It’s a vertical shaft and operates on propane. I do have a large heat exchanger for a steam cleaning set-up. Basically it’s a 3 ft. tall by about 2 ft. across w/ a double wall thick coil of about 5/8" steel pipe tubing forming the outside wall. Sort of an overkill heat exchanger for a carpet cleaner, but like I said I need ideas. BTW the heat exchanger is an open coil on the sides 2 layers like I said, but the bottom is about 3 layers coiling all the way inward- I believe this whole exchanger was designed to house a tank inside of it?? Or perhaps the coils were immersed in a tank? Probably the former. There is also a steel liner factory painted red that is about 2 inches larger in diameter than the coiled exchanger ( this whole thing including the heavy steel liner weighs about 200+ pounds). I was going to cycle my van’s engine coolant through the exchanger and put a stainless beer keg inside of it if it would fit with the proper pressure release plumbing of course. That way I would have about 15 gallons of pre-heated water ready to heat further. Or would it be better to use the coils to hold my high pressure steam for my carpet wand (I use a 4-jet Prochem 2" down tube wand) and heat the exchanger coils with propane? Would the 20HP Onan have enough heat potential to somehow harness? That’s how the Prochem Legend works for heat, but it’s heat exchanger is about 5 times smaller than the exchanger I described above.
I also have looked around everywhere for used or surplus shaft driven blower/vacuums. It looks like the CAT brand of water pumps which worked great on all of the truck mounted carpet cleaners I’ve used in the past is what I will seek out for my water pumping needs.
The Onan is a 20 Horse power and it seems ample considering my last truck mount was a Prochem Legend running an 18 HP Kohler.
Is it easy to convert the Onan’s propane powered engine to gasoline or would it benefit me economically in terms of fuel cost/usage versus the work being done?
I would appreciate any help on this because I just recently lost my Prochem Legend in a partnership dissolving. I’ve really been bumming, but I have the confidence that I can with everyone’s generous thoughts on this, get something very comparable to the Legend. I can always build on this new home built system as I go. The 20HP Onan seems like a good candidate aside from the fact it’;s all I have to start with. That and the exchanger.
Thanks for any suggestions and I’ll be sure to post them on the carpet cleaning forums I’m asking this on as well.- Paul J., Best Value Carpet Cleaning- Columbus, Ohio.

www.surfacewithasmile.net We have a steam machine with a grout cleaning attachment that we can use when the grout can not be cleaned by a pressure tool alone. We have seen many frustrated people spend hours trying to clean grout lines with very little success. In fact, we have not met anyone where grout cleaning or tile cleaning ranked up on the list of things people love to do. Sweeping and mopping your tile floor may have worked initially, but over time the gradual build up of grime, especially in your grout lines becomes impossible to clean on your own. What once was nice clean grout lines, now are dark and dirty looking. Once dirt gets in the grout lines, it becomes more of a challenge to clean. Why? Grout is porous and allows dirt and other contaminants to be trapped below the surface, making it difficult if not impossible to remove with regular mopping. Surface With A Smile Tile Cleaning and Grout Cleaning methods provides an easy answer to that problem. Our professional tile cleaning and grout cleaning services in Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana and Owensboro, Kentucky are comprehensive. We are specialized in both grout cleaning and tile cleaning methods.
