Tightness; Since the flammability of the fuel used in engines threatens human life, the tightness of the filters is very important. The filter must be produced in technological processes and offered for sale after being 100% tested with test equipment.
Efficiency
Efficiency is the ability of the filter used in the system to filter in the range of 1-10 microns without creating resistance and to separate and hold 99% water.
Water Separation and Water Retention
New generation filters produced with technological materials both separate water and hold dirt with high efficiency. Depending on the amount of water separated, it traps it in the filter.
Pressure Difference
Pressure Difference; It can also be expressed as resistance to flow.
Filtering material that should be of high quality; It should be both highly efficient and have a high dirt and water holding capacity without creating a high pressure difference in its expected life.
Resistance to Water and Heat Change
Especially diesel fuel is likely to contain water and since heat exchange is intense in diesel fuel systems, technological materials and coating methods resistant to water, corrosion and heat changes should be used in the filter material.
Filter Life
Shelf Life : It has a minimum shelf life of 5 years in its packaging in a moisture-free environment, at a temperature range of -10 +40 C, without exposure to water and direct sunlight.
Usage Life : During fuel filtration, the filter retains impurities. This leads to clogging of the filter over time.
Therefore, the maintenance and replacement period specified by the vehicle manufacturers should be followed for the replacement of the filters.
If the end-of-life, filled and clogged filter is not changed, it will cause the system not to absorb enough fuel.
It should be ensured that the water accumulated in the filter, whose function is also water retention, is discharged.
Tightness; Since the flammability of the fuel used in engines threatens human life, the tightness of the filters is very important.
