Extra information...
I am often asked if I have a parts list for this processor. I don't, I'm sorry to say. If you have one, and would like me to publish it here, with credit to you, I'd be pleased to do so.
The reason I don't have a definitive parts list is that this processor can be made in so many different ways, and depending where you are, you will be able to get different components, and may not be able to get others. Some folks want to make big processors, some want to make small ones, some want to use old central heatng tanks, some want to use old oil drums. As a general guide I would suggest you use :-
a. Metal pipework thoughout for all liquid carrying pipes.
b. A pump which can move the whole volume of your tank in 2 minutes or less. (A 120 litre processor should use a pump with at least 60 litres/minute rating)
c. A heater rated at 1kW per 30 litres of oil.
d. A condenser length of 30cm per kW of heating.
e. Full bore ball-valves throughout, preferably rated for gas use, as these will have more resistant seals.
f. A good covering of insulation to minimise heat loss.
g. If you are not electrically experienced or qualified, ask a qualified electrician to do the wiring for you.
There are some examples of parts lists people have published which may help you choose the bits you need.
See here for example.
