Velcon DFS Diesel Filtration Skid from Parker

Velcon DFS Diesel Filtration Skid from ParkerCombining Particulate Filtration with World-Class Water Coalescing

Providing high quality fuel to the modern high pressure common rail fuel injection systems is imperative to avoid costly downtime to engine repair. Velcon's Diesel Filtration Skids (DFS) provides fuel conditioning to assure the consistent removal of abrasive particulate and damaging water while transferring or dispensing within the fuel system.

The DFS incorporates the best housings, filters and coalescers technologies that Velcon has developed over the past 60 years. The DFS uses filter (VF) and coalescing (V) housings which have proven to withstand years of service in the most challenging environments. We have combined the housings with Velcon's outstanding DFO filtration products and world-class DI and DSO coalescing and separation products. The combined components work to condition contaminated fuels to meet the most stringent ISO 4406 and ASTM D975 standards for emulsified and free water as well as abrasive particulate. All filtration cartridges are available with a threaded base option for quick filter removal and ease of installation.

Velcon DFS Diesel Filtration Skid Q & A:

+ What is the Velcon DFS Diesel Filtration Skid?
The Velcon DFS Diesel Filtration Skid is a complete fuel conditioning system designed to remove abrasive particles and damaging water from diesel fuel. It combines particulate filtration and water coalescing technologies to meet stringent ISO 4406 and ASTM D975 standards. The system is mounted on a skid base for quick installation and is suitable for applications such as bulk fuel handling, fuel storage reservoirs, and diesel engines.
 
+ What flow rates does the DFS support?
The DFS Diesel Filtration Skid supports flow rates ranging from 135 to 1,045 gallons per minute (GPM), accommodating various fuel handling capacities.
 
+ What filtration technologies are used in the DFS?
The DFS utilizes Velcon's DFO particulate filters and DI/DSO coalescer and separator cartridges. These components work together to remove solid contaminants and water from diesel fuel, ensuring compliance with fuel cleanliness standards.
 
+ What are the standard vessel materials and construction?

The DFS vessels are constructed from ASME code epoxy-painted carbon steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The interior is epoxy-coated for additional protection.

+ What are the recommended operating conditions?

The DFS is designed to operate effectively under standard diesel fuel conditions. However, water removal efficiency may be reduced if the fuel contains high levels of surfactants, alcohols, or unrefined biofuels, as these can impact coalescing performance.
