Working principle of the unit
The following contains a description of how the unit functions, using the
example of the Standard version unit.
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 switching on the motor.
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, fungus, etc.).
Both can quickly lead to blockage of the machine filter and to damage to
diesel injection system components. The consequence: impermissibly high
levels of pollutants from the combustion engine. This leads to high costs for
down time, spare parts, maintenance and repairs.
The use of the LowViscosity Unit LVU minimizes contamination to a system
and prevents expensive system down time. It also helps to avoid the
necessity of early and expensive disposal of diesel fuel.
