HA HA,blame RM for the dispensing set up idea,but make sure you dont take any electrical advice off him! as hes been trying to kill me for the last ten days apparently!
Julian its hardly any different as the graphics dont show the holding tank,anyway ive attacked my copy with ms paint and emailed it to you

Leccys helper drilled through a live cable before we found out that you had chopped off the house earth
Wants a little word with you

This care in the community is hard work

what happened then kieth they took ages to find what it was? and were drilling walls to find it?

Got the email and drawing, thanks.

Is holding tank the same as settling tank? (nearly got a whole battalion of tanks)

Would this arrangement be simpler http://www.biopowered.co.uk/w/images/5/59/KH_multi_tasking_processor_draft_3.png ?

Assume the dispensing system won't be re-circing for very long so over heating shouldn't be a problem. Also not re-circing back to the holding/settling tank won't stir up any settled crud.

Any thoughts on the live sight tube and height of Methoxide inlet?

Like your idea of showing the oil/bio route on the graphic. Might be an idea to show each of it's multifarious operations in this way.

what does V3 do? can this be used for shut off to site tube?

Julian · « **Reply #51 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:23:08 PM »

They're relief valves, squiggles = springs.
I think it's an ISO standard symbol or might have been BSI, cant remember, wherever it comes from I've used it for years.

To stopping the sight glass being live will require one more valve. V3 moves to the horizontal tank outlet and the new valve goes at the bottom of the sight tube. That way you can contra-operate the two valves and use the pump suction to empty the sight glass.

I asked the same question of Keith. V3 needs to be in that position so you can drain good oil off the top of the crud ... I thought you were chief engineer on this project!

"Spits on ground" ... just what I do whenever water washing is mentioned.

we bounce ideas off each other to see what pans out for best...

Settling tank/ holding tank same thing sorry
Spits on ground

is wvo oil in,bio out is via V5,BTW it can be dry wash tower,demething tank or water wash tank,i havnt said anything about w washing,we prefer to be exclusive not common!
Meth in-on the processors ive had its been soft piped to a carbouy gl vent,so position is not vital as long as its before the pump,in this case V2 is a 15mm valve,only becauce it was orig just a sample valve so on this particular one so not really suitable for oil in
Sight glass and press valves are good ideas,do you think it would be ok to show (Julians) ideas on the diagram and me to avoid showing close up photos of those particular bits?
Its a bit too late for me to implement them with out starting afresh,the drum would look like a collinder
Julian now has the dubious pleasure of helping to design something that isnt a GL,good on yer,seen the light at last

yeah i been looking at the pic to see how to get over the site tube thing, but been busy on veg site with a certain link/thread...

will look at it again

K.H did you get me u2u on full pic?

Rotary-Motion · « **Reply #55 on:** June 16, 2011, 11:32:14 PM »

flexy clear pipe is that the venturi feed in? and is it vavled as cant see by pic...

Julian · « **Reply #56 on:** June 16, 2011, 11:33:37 PM »

Oh dear ... I thought I had it sussed out.

I have the letters V5 a little a stray (it's still work in progress) V5 is intended to be "spits on the ground" valve at the bottom.

That said I don't see how "spits on the ground" can be oil in ... it's connected to the discharge of the pump. Or are you using a PTO on one of the tanks in the battalion to run a pump to pump it in?

Surely everything, including oil, must go in via V2, it's the only one connected to the pump suction.

This is where I'm at with the graphic. If you wish I'll remove the upstand after V2.

With regard to helping those less fortunate than myself (the GLophobes) I'm only too happy to share the knowledge gained in build in building GL's.

I look at it a bit like 3rd world aid.

No venturi,sucked in by v2

sorry yes! no venturi but that clear pipe is to suck meth....

and is there a vlave at pipework end? else pipe would be left open?
