A Racor Turbine filter with bowl supporting a flow rate of 340 litres per hour (l/h) is an essential component of a fuel filtration system designed for efficient water separation and dirt removal. These filters are commonly used in marine, automotive applications, and industrial engines to protect fuel systems.
Key features:
- Flow rate:
- 340 ltr/hour is suitable for small to medium-sized engines, such as in boats, generators, and some vehicles.
- Turbine filter design:
- The design uses a three-step filtration process:
- Step 1: Water and larger particles are separated by centrifugal force.
- Step 2: Contaminants are collected by a replaceable filter element.
- Step 3: Fine particles and any remaining water are removed.
- Transparent bowl:
- Allows water and dirt in the fuel to be easily inspected and drained via a drain valve.
- Often made of impact-resistant polymer, resistant to fuels such as diesel and petrol.
- Compatibility:
- Part of Racor's 500 series or similar systems, which are modular and versatile.
- Filtration element:
- Available in different micron ratings (e.g. 2, 10, 30 microns) to meet specific filtration needs.
- For 340 ltr/hour, an R24 element (Spin-On) is usually used.
Advantages:
- Excellent water separation:
- Reduces risk of engine failure due to water-related problems.
- High durability:
- Robust and resistant to the harsh conditions of marine and industrial applications.
- Easy maintenance:
- The spin-on filters and transparent bowl make inspection and replacement easy.
Recommended use:
- Marine applications: Suitable for small to medium-sized boats with diesel or petrol engines.
- Industrial engines: Generators or other equipment with moderate fuel consumption.
- Vehicles: For vehicles with similar fuel flow.
