Filter Housings - Velcon Filters

<strong>Filter</strong> <strong>Housings</strong><br />

VF-61, VF-61E, VF-62<br />

Clean Dry Fuels and Oils with<br />

High Performance Aquacon ® <strong>Filter</strong> Cartridges<br />

FEATURES<br />

• Free and emulsified water to less than 5 ppm<br />

• 1/2 micrometer particulate removal<br />

• Provides protection against “slugs” of water<br />

• Pressure increase signals cartridge change<br />

• Use with existing filter housings<br />

DESCRIPTION<br />

The VF-61, and VF-62 are versatile filter housings<br />

designed for use with several different high performance<br />

Aquacon filter cartridges, as well as a variety of paper<br />

filters and coalescer/separator cartridges. Refer to the<br />

cartridge selection table on page 3.<br />

Aquacon cartridges filter out water by chemically locking<br />

it into layers of super-absorbent media. Water removal<br />

efficiency is not affected by common surfactants or<br />

additives. Water capacity is as much as 1 1 /2 quarts,<br />

depending on the flow rate. These cartridges also<br />

effectively filter out dirt, rust and other particulates.<br />

(See caution, page 4)<br />

As a cartridge reaches its water-holding limit, the media<br />

expands very rapidly and restricts the flow. For oils and<br />

other high viscosity liquids, the pressure drop will rapidly<br />

increase, signaling the need to change cartridges.<br />

The VF-61, with ACO series cartridges installed, has<br />

become the standard for low flow rate full flow aviation<br />

fuel monitor applications.<br />

Use the VF-61E with band clamp closure for areas with<br />

limited space.<br />

OVER PRESSURE PROTECTION<br />

When exposed to a high concentration of water, the<br />

differential pressure across an absorbent cartridge (AC,<br />

ACO, AD, or ASL Series cartridges) will immediately<br />

increase. Pressure bypasses or other means to limit the<br />

inlet pressure to 75 psi (5 bar) should be installed to prevent<br />

cartridge from collapsing.<br />

CAUTION<br />

To protect the fuel system, including the filter<br />

housing & other components, be sure to install<br />

pressure relief valve(s).<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not use Aquacon ® absorbent cartridges (AC, ACO,<br />

AD or ASL Series) with pre-mixed jet fuel containing<br />

anti-icing additives, or with gasoline/alcohol blends.<br />
