Using a centrifuge to clean waste vegetable oil, used motor oil or transmission fluid will reduces filter costs by 95%. Can be used in any bio-fuel pre-cleaning application. This clip shows the basic operation of Dieselcraft OC-20 Oil Centrifuge.
Power steering pumps will work BUT must be used with caution, the centrifuges only needs 80 to 90 PSI, power steering pumps put out for 1000 to 2500 PSI and can damage the centrifuge in less than 1 second if hit with those high pressures. An additional pressure relief valve is needed.
I am cosidering purchasing one of these. Now I guess the pressure from the gear pump spins the centrifuge? Do you have to use a gear pump or can you you use a power steering pump? Thank y
