These filter housings are versatile housings designed for use with several different high performance Aquacon and other filter cartridges.
Aquacon cartridges filter out water by chemically locking it into layers of super-absorbent media. Water capacity is as much as 112 quarts, depending on the specific vessel and cartridge. These cartridges also effectively filter out dirt, rust and other particulates. (See caution, back cover.)
As an Aquacon cartridge reaches its water-holding limit, the media expands very rapidly and restricts the flow. The pressure drop will rapidly increase, signaling the need to change cartridges.
The VF-61, with ACO series cartridges installed, has become the standard for low flow rate full flow aviation fuel monitor applications.
Wide variety of applications
Free and emulsified water to less than 5 ppm
12 micron particulate removal
Provides protection against slugs of water
Pressure increase signals cartridge change
Over Pressure Protection
When exposed to a high concentration of water, the differential pressure across an absorbent cartridge (AC, ACO, AD, or ASL Series cartridges) will immediately increase. Pressure bypasses or other means to limit the inlet pressure to 75 psi (5 bar) should be installed to prevent cartridge from collapsing.
