Cleaning and upkeep of fuel water separation filters

Cleaning and upkeep procedures for fuel water separation filter elements:

When the filter isn’t in use for an extended period of time, it needs to be cleaned, the filter element needs to be unplugged, cleaned, and dried, then packed in a plastic bag and kept without contamination, and the filter itself needs to be wiped down and stored without being harmed.

The new fuel water separation filter element should be submerged in the acid-base washing liquid for no longer than 24 hours, with the acid-base liquid typically being 25°C to 50°C in temperature. The optimal amount of acid or alkali to water is between 10% and 20%.

Filtrate and filter elements with a high protein content are replenished before use after being cleaned effectively with an enzyme solution. They need to be cleaned before being steam sterilized. Water filters and dry filters both require frequent cleaning and disinfection.

Keep an eye on the temperature and time when sterilizing the fuel water separation filter element. Polypropylene needs to be steam sterilized at 130°C for 20 minutes at 0.1 MPa steam pressure and 121°C in a high-temperature sterilization cabinet. Steam sterilization is performed on polysulfone and PTFE ethylene using a pressure of 0.2MPa and a temperature of 142°C. Around 30 minutes is the right amount of time. The filter element will become destroyed if the temperature, the time, and the pressure are all too high.

Oil, water, and other liquid droplets are attracted to the coalescer’s microfibers, which create a tortuous route for the airflow and force solid particles and liquid droplets into inertial collisions, diffusive interception, and direct interception. It is attracted to the ultra-fine fibers by a filtering mechanism, and the liquid’s surface tension forces the small droplets to coalesce into bigger droplets. Gravity causes the huge drops to fall to the bottom of the container.
