The LowViscosity Unit LVU is intended for offline filtration. The LVU removes solid particle contamination and free water from diesel fuel.

Diesel fuel is often subject to long storage periods, especially in tanks which may be used infrequently. As a result, solid particles and water are often deposited on the bottom of the tank and can then damage pumps and sensitive components when the engine is switched on.

In addition, over an extended period of time free water in a tank provides a breeding ground for diesel fuel pests (microorganisms such as bacteria, algae and fungus).

Deposits and pests can both quickly lead to blockage of the machine filter and to damage to diesel injection system components. The consequence: impermissibly high levels of dangerous emissions from the combustion engine.
This leads to high costs for downtime, spare parts, maintenance and repairs.

Using the LowViscosity Unit LVU minimises contamination to a system and prevents expensive system downtime. It also eliminates the need for early and expensive disposal of diesel fuel.

Applications:

Mobile & stationary emergency generators e.g. in hospitals, shopping centres, power plants
Tanks on mobile machines e.g. harvesting and construction machinery
Storage tanks e.g. for agriculture and mining
Yachts and leisure boats
Test benches
Diesel transfer from the tank to the common rail engine

Advantages:

Increased system availability
Reduced risk of diesel pests thanks to separation of free water from diesel fuel
Care and dewatering possible even when the combustion engine is turned off
Can be used flexibly thanks to adjustable transfer pumping function (continuous or time-programmed)
Optional automatic drainage of water from the coalescing housing for increased convenience and greater process reliability
