I am getting a two diesel craft pressure centrifuges from a long time wvo guy. Oc-25 and oc-50. Need some cleaning up but pretty excited. I have a gravity centrifuge so this is new system for me.
Thinking of setting these up in a mobile filtering setup. Currently thinking trailer mounted for road or camping trips. Was wondering if wmo in an old air tank or propane tank could be pushed through these centrifuges? What's a good pressure?
This is what I am thinking.
Supply air pressure would be regulated down to the pressure need to run and have safety relief valves(on compressor and tanks). I have two 60gal compressor tanks to do batch method, back and forth between the two tanks. Then have third for final cleaned fuel. I have a gas powered air compressor to run my double diaphragm pump for collecting. Extra air tank for charging and then pressurizing the system without running the air compressor continuously. I am hoping to keep from running a generator for an electric pump. I already have most of what I need for the project which is kinda cool.
How many passes do you guys usually run for wmo to be cleaned? Could a diaphragm pump work as the pump for the centrifuge or would the surge/pulse be bad for them?
Goals:
-no generator or electric pumps for easy off grid
-Simi-compact and simple, but could be more effort
-use parts/stuff I have laying around
-use pump fuel to thin oil so heating is not required
Ideas or comments?
Thanks
