Racor Turbine series fuel/water separators have the ability to separate suspended impurities in diesel fuel like a common fuel filter, but in addition, they also eliminate water, which is often present in diesel fuel.

These filters are called “turbine filters” because the water is separated from the diesel fuel by centrifugal action.

The process of removing contaminants and water occurs through three stages:

1. Water separation: as the fuel moves through the centrifuge, water and large contaminants settle on the bottom of the collection bowl.

2. Coalescence: small droplets of water settle on the surface of the conical diaphragm and cartridge element, and by joining together, they fall to the bottom of the collection bowl.

3. Filtration: Acquabloc stops and captures fine contaminants, solid and non-solid, as the settling water falls into the collection bell
