Automatic Fuel Oil Filtration Set

The Automatic Fuel Oil Filtration Set Model PF is the most complete, efficient and reliable engine protection systems you can install.  These self-contained, fully automatic systems remove water, suspended rust, dirt and other contaminants in order to maintain the quality and purity of stored diesel fuel.

Why do you need an Automatic Fuel Oil Filtration Set?

• Water enters fuel systems through vents, leaks and sometimes with the delivered fuel.  The presence of water can create corrosion inside the fuel storage tank
• Water induced corrosion (rusting) can reduce tank life expectancy and reliability of the emergency diesel generator or boiler
• Micro-organisms can grow in fuel, especially in the presence of moisture
• The resulting sludge left in the system can cause tank, fuel line, strainer, pump and engine injectors to clog

Perfomance

The Model PF Fuel Oil Filtration Set combine microprocessor-based control and monitoring with a “five stage” fuel oil de-watering and cleaning process:

1. Fuel Straining: Large contaminates are removed
2. Primary Filtration: Initial fuel filtration
3. Centrifuge: Separates solids and water through centrifugal action.  Although the centrifuge has no moving parts, over 30% of the contaminants are removed here
4. Coalescing: Smaller water droplets and solids coalesce on the specially designed conical baffle and fall to the collection bowl
5. Secondary Filtration: 2 micron fuel filtration

Reliability

• Separated contaminants and water are monitored by an integral filter water level detector
• Water waste is piped to an optional waste water holding & removal system or connected directly to the customer’s waste tank (by others)
• A differential pressure switch/indicator is installed around the filter to provide a visual indication of filter element condition
• An alarm notifies when the filter elements require replacement

Optional Accessories

• Waste Water Holding & Removal System (PF-303, 304 & 305 only):
  A gear pump automatically pumps water from the secondary filter housing to the holding tank based on a n integral filter water detector signal. Automatic isolating valves prevent water leakage into the fule or fuel into the water holding tank when the system is idle. The holding tank is equipped with a high level switch to alarm and shutdown the fuel maintenance system until the tank is emptied. A hand pump is provided for periodic removal of waste from the holding tank. Specify P/N-WR-01
• Chemical Additive HOlding Tank & Injection System:
  Chemical treatment helps to prevent fuel degradation and improve cetane rating. Higher cetane rating improves cold starting, reduces white smoke and maximizes enigne efficiency. A gear metering pump injects additives into the oil while the oil is circulating in order to ensure complete mixing. The additive feed pump operating cycle runs biannually, or it can be activated when new fuel is delivered. A welded steel chemical additive holding tank is provided. Specify P/N-CA-01
