First Stage Coalescers and Second Stage Separators qualified to API/EI 1581 5^th Edition Specifications and Qualification Procedures for Aviation Jet Fuel Filter/Separators

Velcon Filters, LLC has developed a number of coalescers and separators qualified to the latest edition of API/EI 1581 (formerly API/IP 1581). The coalescers are part numbers I-6xxC5 (TB), I-6xxMM, and I-6xxA4 Series. Coalescers, the first stage of filtration, incorporate multi-layered pleated media designed to provide superior dirt holding capacity in the field, combined with 0.4 micron efficiency, and are available in either threaded base or open-end configuration. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1732.

The separators, SO-6xxV5, SO-6xxPV5, and SO-6xxVA5, are Teflon^® coated screen cartridges. To achieve optimum flow distribution in the second stage of filtration, these cartridges incorporate a variable hole pattern inner tube combined with a uniform hole pattern outer tube specifically designed for installation in vertical filter/separators. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1521.

Compact, flexible and multipurpose filtration with the Vel-Max^® vessel

The compact Vel-Max^® Filter Vessel is suitable for flow rates up to 200 gpm, depending on the application. The Vel-Max^® can be used on mobile refueling equipment, fuelling cabinets and for fixed fuelling installations, for jet fuel, avgas, diesel and biodiesel fuels, motor gasoline and kerosene filtration. Vel-Max^® is designed for easy maintenance and easy conversion to a prefilter, filter/separator, or monitor, depending on which type of filtration cartridges are placed inside. Its features include carbon steel construction and an epoxy coated interior and exterior. Please refer to Velcon data sheet # 1961.

Velcon Contaminant Analyzer (VCA^®) the final stage quality check for fuel –

The Velcon Contaminant Analyzer (VCA^®) is a patented laser sensing device that detects water and solids in fuels for a final stage quality check downstream of the last filtration, or as a check for fuel being delivered off transport. The VCA^® uses specialized sensing technology to insure that the fuel being loaded onto the aircraft or other vehicle, or into storage is clean and dry. In the presence of wet and/or dirty fuel, the system will shut down the fuelling operation. Alerts to the user will prevent no more than a minimal amount of wet or dirty fuel reaching the plane. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1964.

Velcon’s Flow Differential Pressure Module (FDPM™) takes the guesswork out of calculating normalized (corrected) DP in filtration systems

When a filtration system is operated at lower than the maximum flow rate of a vessel, it is important to calculate the normalized differential pressure for the actual flow rate. Velcon’s FDPM™ eliminates the complicated calculation normally necessary by automatically calculating the condition of the filters inside a vessel with the inputs of differential pressure and flow-rate.

The FDPM™ removes the human element involved in taking the necessary data, making the calculation, and deciding what to do with that information. It has an automatic cut-off that will stop flow as soon as filters have exceeded their life cycle, with no need to continuously monitor their condition. Please refer to Velcon data sheet #1966
