HYDAC

Diesel Filter

Ten years ago, a diesel engine did not require anything close to the level of filtration provided by HYDAC today. With increasing operating costs (e.g., fuel usage cost, equipment downtime cost) with very strict environmental legislation (e.g., GHG emissions), large diesel fuel users face very difficult challenges when operating fleets of small-large diesel powered engines. Be assured the results of poor filtration are no longer just black smoke and lack of engine horsepower. To ensure optimum engine performance and reliability, particulate and water contamination in diesel fuel must be controlled to acceptable (within specification) limits. Standard on-board fuel filters are not capable to handle high levels of contamination. Therefore, to prevent premature plugging and frequent change-outs of these fuel filters, fuel cleanliness should be controlled throughout the entire fuel supply chain. To put this into perspective newly delivered bulk diesel fuel typically has an ISO cleanliness level of ISO 22per20per18 to ISO 21per19per17 but today's injection fuel systems need to see fluid with a cleanliness level of below ISO 11per8per6 (aerospace cleanliness). Supplying high valued diesel equipment with cleanperdry fuel, will result in several significant benefits to you.
