Parker’s DI coalescers in combination with DSO separators, contaminated fuels are cleaned to a level that meets stringent downstream fuel cleanliness standards for petroleum based diesel fuels.
The first stage in the DI coalescer removes particles through an inside-out flow and coalesces emulsified water into large droplets, which then fall to the housing sump. In the second stage, an outside-in process, the DSO separator creates a hydrophobic barrier to block the coalesced water droplets from flowing downstream of the housing. This multi-stage design assures the fuel is conditioned to a clean and dry state, ready for use.
Surfactants
- Water coalescing is not effective in the presence of fuels containing high levels of surfactants/alcohols or unrefined biofuels
- Detergents and additives inhibits the ability of coalescers to effectively remove water by reducing Interfacial Tension (IFT) and can eventually disarm coalescers
- Contact Parker Laboratories for further analysis of your fuel for presence of surfactants
- Coalescing not recommended for Biodiesel blends over 5% (B5)
