Diesel fuel requirements are increasing worldwide.
This makes it more important to filter and dewater fuel at every step of the transport chain from production to the diesel filling station and, finally, the end consumer.
HYDAC offers tailor-made solutions, which ensure and monitor required diesel cleanliness.
Emissions directives increase requirements
Strict emissions limits are increasing diesel fuel requirements
The Europe-wide Stage V emissions standards have set the strictest emission limits to date to vehicles and mobile machinery.
The guidelines also influence the requirements for diesel fuels: suppliers are forced to ensure significantly lower contamination levels and water content in their fuels. This doesn't just mean more time and effort but also higher costs.
Biogenic diesel fuels on the rise
Biodiesel requires fluid care at every stage of the transport chain
The increasing proportion of biogenic fuel means that existing systems must be retrofitted with diesel care systems. To meet the requirements, it's not sufficient to only condition the diesel just before usage in the machine. Instead, the fuel must be filtered and dewatered at every stage of the transport chain from production in the refinery right to the diesel filling station and the end customer.
Climate-neutral diesel fuel generation
E-fuels are on the rise
Synthetic fuels are being produced using hydrogen.
Climate-neutral manufacturing is the focus, with the processing of e-fuels being of great importance when ensuring their use in combustion engines.
Diesel fuel protection on all fronts
Protect machines and conserve valuable resources with HYDAC
For every step of the process ̶ from production to consumption ̶ HYDAC provides specific products for optimum fluid monitoring and conditioning. This ensures the highest level of diesel quality over the entire transport route.
Continuous fuel monitoring required
For clean diesel, continuous monitoring of both solid particle contamination and water saturation of fuel is required.
Both these units can be optimally monitored with HYDAC measuring devices.
As a result of sophisticated technology, customers can evaluate the diesel's entire transport route in terms of the required cleanliness and water content values.
This enables transparency and the generation of recommended actions for optimising diesel care.
Clean diesel throughout the entire process chain
Portable service unit: HYDAC Fluid Control Unit (FCU) 1000
The portable Fluid Control Unit (FCU) 1000 is ideally suited to service work. It temporarily measures solid particle contamination, water saturation and fluid temperature of fuel and is perfect for diesel in accordance with DIN EN 590 and ASTM D975.
HYDAC Contamination Sensor Module (CSM-E)
Firmly integrated in the system is HYDAC’s Contamination Sensor Module (CSM-E): a compact and cost-effective online condition monitoring module (according to ISO 4406), which is ideal for stationary use.
Diesel transfer filtration and dewatering between storage facilities and at diesel filling stations
Diesel cleanliness must be ensured between storage facilities or at diesel filling stations when transferring to the engine.
For the best possible cleanliness, diesel fuel flows through three stages: filtration for particle separation, dewatering by coalescing, and finally dewatering by separation.
“HYDAC systems are ideally suited to safely removing large amounts of contamination from diesel – in just a single pass instead of several time-consuming steps,” a HYDAC spokesperson highlights.
Best possible cleanliness in just a single pass
HYDAC Low Viscosity Housing Filter (LVH-F)
The Low Viscosity Housing Filter (LVH-F) housings for filtration are extremely well-suited to ensuring the required fuel cleanliness in accordance with ISO 4406.
As a result, the diesel engine can be operated with minimal wear and loss of efficiency.
The built-in Optimicron ON-DF filter elements enable constant filtration to take place, with high contamination retention capacity for cost-effectiveness.
HYDAC Low Viscosity Housing Coalescer Diesel (LVH-CD)
The Low Viscosity Housing Coalescer Diesel (LVH-CD) housings can be flanged onto the filter housings. This enables efficient fuel dewatering straight after the filtration stage.
The HYDAC Optimicron dewatering elements ON-DC and ON-DS impress with their high level of filtration efficiency in that they ensure consistently low water contents, helping to avoid biological growth and diesel bug.
Tank care for clean diesel
Storage tanks and day tanks become contaminated due to the continual flow of fuel.
Both solid particle contamination and water lead to silting and biological growth (diesel bug formation).
This leads to short filter service lives for fuel filters at the engine and increased wear on the injection system. There is also a risk of system failure.
HYDAC avoids these problems through its fluid protection mechanisms.
HYDAC diesel tank care solutions
HYDAC diesel tank care solutions include:
HYDAC dewatering unit Low Viscosity Unit (LVU-CD-10)
HYDAC dewatering unit Low Viscosity Unit (LVU-CD-40).
Diesel protection advantages
Advantages with HYDAC’s diesel protection include simple system integration, conservation of resources to minimise environmental impact, and low maintenance costs.
