Does the centrifuge effectively dewater the oil as well? I've been finding a lot of contradictory information out there regarding this question.

[veggiecar300]

It does for me. My setup allows for three methods of dewatering.

1. centrifugal

2. flash evaporation (I added a pipe just before the CF - not shown here - that has a water-heater element in it making the oil about 200 degrees)

3. final settling (I let it settle a day or two, just to be sure, and drain off the bottom few inches.)

Nice set up, have you done any testing to find out the amount of water your WVO has in it?

Thanks

I do a hot pan test after every session of centrifuge, before anything goes in the car. There are never any bubbles or signs of surface water.

What's the fluid going into the barrel? Looks like water, your oil can't be that wet can it?

[veggiecar300]

That's oil. The oil is kept very hot and is shooting through the CF at a relatively high pressure. The oil is at about 150-160 degrees at just under 90psi.

i like your setup but damn dude upgrade from the cell phone camera...what gpm cf is that? looks like a diesel craft. i like the pully system reducing speed on the pressure pump. by doing that you can run a less power hungry motor with a bigger pump and still be at the gpm you want and the pressure you want...nice setup.

[xkeithedgex]

what kind of pump are you using?

please show some more and more detail!

thanks
