Neat videos, I like the one with the transparent cover.
Plus the guy has good prices. http://www.centrifugefordummies.com/
I ordered a centrifuge to put on my CRD as a bypass filter $129 + SH.
He uses a centrifuge designed for a Diesel Engine minus the mounting hardware and sells it by its self or in a biodiesel/WVO filtration kit.
Most of the centrifuge units I have checked out have been outrageous $500-$700 and come with hardware kits to fit other engines, not our CRDs.
To prevent from starving the engine for oil there is a valve inside the centrifuge that sends all the oil to the engine until the relief valve in the supply pump starts to dump the excess into the sump. Then the centrifuge starts to do its job and remove the fine particles of grit that are between 0.5 microns and 10 microns not caught by the engine oil filter. A friend of mine with a Dodge Cummins has kicked up oil change intervals to 15,000 miles.

I will design and build the hardware to mount mine, I plan to keep it simple. Since I travel a lot for my job, I do not have time at home to produce hardware kits myself, but I would like to have a little marketing feed back on the following two options:
1) Would like to have a drawing for the centrifuge mounting bracket (oil drain is part of the bracket) and a list of components (like hoses and fittings).
2) Have a complete hardware kit that has what is needed to bolt on the centrifuge.

We have members who fab parts, do a great job, and could produce the mounting bracket should we have enough interest.
For now Pa Biodiesel Supply, can sell their centrifuges direct so we can keep the costs down. If you have to have chrome instead of paint, I am sure you can find someone who can do it for you.
Comments on what type of fittings like Brass or Stainless Steel would be appreciated, I have not determined if steel or aluminum would be best for the mounting bracket, pickup truck kit makers use both.

When I was in the "oil patch" some 30 years ago, we would use a centrifuge to test oil samples for the amount of water present. This sounds like a good plan.

Could the Aztecs have known, that in 2012 after a 4 year experiment, our country would cease to exist?

I would think the majority of interested parties here would want to be able to buy a complete kit to mount it, rather than plans. Like if you ever decide on a whim to fab up another pair of extra leg-room brackets, I got dibs. . . .

I have done a ton of research on trying to get a centrifuge filter for our crd's

The only problem is that there is really no room in the crd bay to place one.
The non compressor assisted units have to be mounted in such a way as the return fluid can make it back into he sump under gravity's pressure alone, or the centrifuge backs up, filling with oil.

My notes:

spinner II 24 same as mann-hummel 025

cleans down to .01 micron

All of the smaller centrifuges seem to be the same as the Man Hummel 025

Maby someone can get one of these on the crd, i would love to see it. (and copy it)

Here is a pic of the unit I bought for $144.98 FOB with a spare set of seals I added on:

Vendor label on the pic.
I plan to put it over on the right side of the engine compartment next to the TCM and in front of the Coolant Reservoir.
I may need to cut a hole in the side of the sump and thread in a fitting for the return line. My hunch is that I will need 3/4" drain line like what I used for my Oil Separator (home made Provent).
I will post my pics when I get it figured out.
The unit PA Biodiesel Supply sells is smaller than the others I have looked at. He is coming out with a smaller 25 GPH unit later on, that one might even fit on a TDI, maybe.

Drawing


I will post pics, drawings, and installation instructions in the CRD Tech Section when done.

Plan to use 1/4" supply line and 1" drain going into the side of the oil pan.
