help with oil not passing pan or spoon test
im running a spinner two for a yr now always removed water within 6 to 8 hr on a 40 gal batch recuculiating 100 psi 180 f - 220 f
any help please

has any one played around with a fan to blow the steam away ?

has any one use a touch across the bottom of the oil path the mosture seems to flame up what if a constant flame was across it would it burn off more mosture ?

how hot is too hot ?

A bit confused, did it dewater before but now does not?

From memory of reading the Spinner 2 web pages I think they said that the Spinner needed to use an additional compressed air input to the centrifuge to insure that what ever vapors were released from the oil were completely evacuated out of the unit but it has been a couple years since I researched this. Have you been using the additional air. I suspect the amount of water in the oil will have a big effect on if only using the flash evap will remove all of it.

Reading through the extensive "Dieselcraft" discussion the folks using them say they don't rely entirely on the flash evapopration for dewatering, they divert the drain out of the centrifuge before shutting it down and remove most of the water that way, if they shut the unit down with the output draining back into the oil source then any liquid water spun out of the oil ends up back in the oil.

Thanks tim for your reply ! yes It did dewater it before
Isn’t the spinner and the dieselcraft the same beast just different bran name ?
No I don’t use additional air there no designed port for air it uses oil to spin it up
Yes I divert the oil before shutting down always have done this I learned that from reading also
