here is the entire system and it goes like this.....
Compressor pumps air into the raw oil drum. This will pump cold thick oil. Heck, it will pump Jello if that's your thing.
Notice my home made pvc bung. Kinda cheesy and leaks a little. Going to need to find a nice oil-friendly epoxy to stop air leaks.
raw (cold) oil leaves drum via the clear braided hose headed for the heater stack (below)
Heat stack. Already talked about that.
Oil exits top, headed for centrifuge...
Black heater hose. Oil is good and HOT after passing by the immersion heater.
Now, takes a turn, goes through the flow control valve and headed for the feed tube.
Into the bowl and ready for a spin. Motor off in the pic.
Clean oil straight down into drum.
After spinning is done and motor shut off, junk oil goes into slop bucket.
