In particular, bio-diesel fuels made from vegetable oil, tallow and waste animal oils\/fats present problems for effective water separation due to low interfacial tension (IT) and these fuel\u2019s ability to blend with water.<\/p>\n<p>Parker Racor\u2019s Aquabloc3D coalescing filtration systems are purpose-designed to enable operators to meet the challenges of dealing with increasingly sophisticated fuel. Moreover, they offer longer service life and considerably improved water separation in bio-diesel fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The Aquabloc3D coalescing media is utilised in a spin-on filter element canister that contains an innovative multi-stage filtration system. As dirty wet fuel enters the Aquabloc3D element it firstly encounters a high-capacity synthetic pleated particle filtration media that removes larger unwanted contaminants such as dirt and impurities while maintaining maximum flow.<\/p>\n<p>In the second stage, fuel passes through multiple wrapped layers of plasma-treated coalescer depth media.<\/p>\n<p>Here, the partially-filtered fuel interacts with the multi-density coalescer, effectively growing water droplets of greater than 200\u00b5m from emulsified droplets of less than 5\u00b5m.<\/p>\n<p>These large droplets then fall out of the flow stream through gravity to a collection bowl, separating emulsified water from the fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, before the fuel leaves the filter, there is a central hydrophobic cartridge, which prevents any of the now large droplets from exiting the filter and re-entraining into the fuel stream.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial and construction vehicles represent substantial investments for any fleet operator.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the Aquabloc3D advanced fuel filtration system, equipment damage and maintenance costs can be reduced, and unplanned downtime eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>In short, this innovative three-stage filtration technology protects modern, high-efficiency fuel injection systems from clogging and blockage due to unwanted particles, and allows vehicles to function more efficiently, with reduced emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Parker would recommend replacing 10, 20 and 30\u00b5m spin-on service elements used on their 400, 600, MD57 and LDP Series filters, with the new Aquabloc3D elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Racor, a brand of Parker Hannifin Corporation\u2019s Engine and Mobile Filtration Division, is launching a new coalescing filtration media for diesel fuel filtration.
