One hundred and twenty degrees F. is about right, as too muchheat thickens the oil and spoils it. The impure oil is thrown in thetop chamber and, passing by gravity through a strainer, very gradu-ally finds its way into a vertical pipe as shown by the arrow in thecenter of the tank, and mixes with the water at the bottom. Thedirty oil and water are prevented from rising to the surface by meansof an inverted bell, while the heat from the steam coil forms fineoil globules from the mass which gently rise, the sediment, grit,dirt and all impurities are readily prec
