Anyone who filters/centrifuges should read

Ive been filtering wmo for a few years now with heat filters and a centrifuge and i have noticed a problem on almost every setup i've seen built, even professional, and this reguards to the bleed off for maintaining the 80-90psi line pressure needed for centrifuge operation. Almost everyone ive seen returns the bleed off from the ball valve back to the tank. This is a problem and increase filter time by close to double im guessing because that bleed off does not get filtered. Im my filtering system, i routed the bleed off from the regulating ball valve back into the suction side of the systwm before the pump. That way it all goes through the filters/centrifuge and not just dumped back into the tank. Yes it will take a few seconds to get the air out of the system, otherwise it works exactly the same except now all the oil is getting filtered. Hope this helps! Correct me if im wrong, but mine works great

my centrifuge is fed by gravity.no need for a high pressure bleed of any sort.

Well this is mainly in reguards to anyone using a pressure operated centrifuge or filterimg system with a bypass

Thanks for the tip. If I ever get to using one of those fuges, I'll build it your way.
