Ultimate Coalescing & Centrifugal Fuel / Water Separators

The Ultimate Coalescing & Centrifugal Fuel / Water Separators can be installed on the pressure side and/or the suction side of the existing dispensing fuel pump and are sized based on the maximum flow rate of the pump. This schematic shows pressure side application.

3 Step Filtration Process

Model 1175-5175
Ultimate Coalescing & Centrifugal Fuel / Water Separator housing

Step 1 Coalescing chamber: The fuel enters the filter housing and is forced down into the coalescing chamber where the fuel flows through very fine stainless steel mesh material where the small water droplets come together (Coalesce) as the fuel flows through the small opening in the mesh material. The heavier water droplets drop out of the fuel flow and settle to the bottom to be drained off. Water sight glasses are present to view the presence of water and a drain valve in also provided.

Step 2 Centrifugal chamber: This process occurs when the fuel exits the coalescing chamber and flows upward into the centrifugal chamber. The fuel flows through a stainless steel pipe and comes in direct contact with a stainless steel coned baffle spinning the fuel in a circular motion (Centrifugal force). This motion causes the heavier water droplets to fall out of the fuel flow to be drained off. Water sight glasses are present to view the presence of water and a drain valve in also provided.

Step 3 Depth-type filter chamber: After the fuel exits the centrifugal chamber it enter the filtration chamber, the 3-micron cellulose depth-type filter traps the majority of the solids particulates including: dirt, metal, bacteria, algae, microbes, and other solid contaminants. The filter also has water absorbing capabilities to remove free and emulsified water that was not removed in the first two steps. The depth-type filter has a very large water and contaminate holding capacity which means long filter life and high efficiency. Each filter can absorb up to 1 gallon of water and can hold 8-10 lbs of solids. Once the fuel is filtered it exists the filter housing through a stainless steel pipe ultra clean.

Pre-filter bag housing are available with all models to help protect the pump and extend filter element life
