WMO centrifuge system finally up and running! Well, probably not finally...but it was up and running!
Here are some pics of the system:
I built the barrel stands from salvaged lumber from my neighbour's deck. The pump is a power steering pump(s) from a Hyundai (PnP 1/2 price special). The motor for the pump is a 1/2 HP motor from a washing machine. The heater is from a dryer.
The washer and dryer I picked up as a "get them out of my basement and they're yours".
It works good. The heater is amazing. The pump makes over 90 PSI no problem.
The only problem I have is with sealing up the pipe joints.
It seems like every joint is leaking. I even used thread sealant.
I think it needs to come apart and be cleaned and resealed with High Temp RTV or Blue thread locker.
What do you guys think? Any one else have pipe sealing problems like this?
