Vel-Max® Filter Housings

 

DESCRIPTION


The Velcon coalescer and separator are installed together in the Vel-Max® housing to remove water and dirt from fuel. The fuel passes from the outside to the inside through the coalescer. Dirt is filtered out of the fuel and free/emulsified water in fuel is coalesced. The coalesced water droplets, which form on the inside of the coalescer, are repelled from going further down-stream by the separator. The water settles down to the sump where it is manually drained.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

 

  • Maximum Operating Temperature is 160°F / 71°C
  • Flow direction: outside to inside
