Liquid Fuel Filter-Separator Coalescer Filter Element

A liquid fuel filter-separator coalescer filter element is a component used in fuel filtration systems to remove contaminants and separate water from liquid fuel. It is designed to efficiently remove solid particles, such as dirt, rust, and debris, as well as coalesce and separate water droplets from the fuel.

The filter element typically consists of a porous media, such as cellulose or synthetic fibers, which trap and retain solid particles. Additionally, it may incorporate a coalescing media, such as a hydrophobic material or a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, to facilitate the separation of water from the fuel.

The coalescer filter element works by capturing small water droplets suspended in the fuel and causing them to merge into larger droplets. These larger droplets then separate from the fuel due to gravity and can be drained from the filter-separator system.

The primary purpose of a liquid fuel filter-separator coalescer filter element is to ensure the cleanliness and purity of the fuel being supplied to engines or other equipment. By removing contaminants and water, it helps prevent damage to fuel system components, improve fuel efficiency, and maintain optimal engine performance.

It is important to regularly inspect and replace the filter element as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure proper filtration and separation efficiency.
