FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR FOR DIESEL FUEL This modular system may be ordered in combinations of 2 to 6 filters for engines of up to 5000 hp. The fuel inlet and outlet can be configured on the same side or opposite sides, depending on the installation requirements. When determining the required capacity it is always assumed that one filter is held in reserve. So, with a dual filter only one element is in use and the other is in reserve. With a 6 filter configuration, 5 elements are in use and one is in reserve. All these filters have a patented fuel flow system. The fuel passes from the top of the unit to the bottom and from the outside to the inside providing the most effective filtering and longest filter life possible. The filtering stages are as follows: • Centrifugal separator removes water and large solids. • Coalescent stage removes suspended water & small particles. • Fine paper element filters to 30 microns as standard. A 10 micron element is available on request.

The maximum capacities shown above assume that one filter is always kept as a spare. E.g.: 5 filters - 4 in use & 1 spare. If all filters are used together, 720 l/hour (180 g/hour) may be added to the capacity.
