micfil Ultra-fine Filter for Fuel And Magnetic Fuel Optimization

Less Fuel Consumption and Smoke Through Clean And Magnetized Fuel

• Removes solid contaminants up to 0,5 µm (µm = micron) and absorbs water

• Better engine performance through improved combustion

• Reduction of fuel consumption of about 5%

• Less formation of smoke and soot

• Prevention of residues in the combustion chamber

• Protection of valves and injection nozzles

• Less root particles in the lubricating oil

• Longer lifetime of standard fuel filters

• Prevention of tank sludge formation

Fuel Contamination

Diesel fuel consists of long-chain hydrocarbon compounds and - as an organic liquid - is susceptible to changes. Chemical changes and micro-organisms result in the formation of particles that cause poor combustion and deposits. The main causes of fuel contamination are:

1. As a result of chemical reactions the hydrocarbon molecules clump together and form particles of increasing size. The fuel becomes cloudy. This causes poor combustion as the individual molecules do not receive enough oxygen during ignition.

2. If there is water in the tank (mainly condensation from differences in temperature) the interface between the water and the fuel is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae. These micro-organisms and their waste products produce dark, slimy deposits and acids. Bacteria are able to reproduce extremely quickly: Under ideal conditions they double in number every 20 minutes. Micro-organisms and their slimy waste products block filters and form tank sludge. In extreme cases this can lead to a total blockage of the entire fuel system and a breakdown of the engines.

The negative consequences of fuel contamination include: higher fuel consumption, higher exhaust values - particularly soot (smoking), combustion residues, damage to valves, valve seat rings, injection pumps and injection nozzles, increased soot content of the lubricating oil, deposits in the tank, reduced service life of filters, etc.

Cleaner Fuel Through micfil Ultra-fine Filtering

micfil Ultra-fine filters offer a filtration performance of up to 0.5 µm and therefore considerably better filtering than standard fuel filters. As the fuel is cleaner, damage to the injection pumps and nozzles is avoided.

The flow rate per micfil ultra-fine filter of type DN 125 is approx. 500 l/h. Depending on requirements, the micfil ultra-fine filters can be installed as follows:

• between the fuel feed pump and standard fuel filter

• between the bunker and service tank

• as a separate fuel care system with fuel feed pump

The high filtration performance of the micfil ultra-fine filters becomes particularly clear in the case of oil that is badly contaminated. Fuel analyses with particle counts have shown that 95% of the particles of size 2-5 µm and 98% of the particles larger than 5 µm are filtered out.

micfil Magnetic Fuel Optimisation

Electrostatic charging of the hydrocarbon molecules by means of appropriate high-energy magnetic fields while the fuel is flowing dissolves any clumping of the fuel molecules and therefore considerably improves their fine distribution. This results in the individual fuel molecules receiving more oxygen during ignition, leading to improved combustion with the following advantages:

• Improvement in engine performance

• Reduction in fuel consumption by approx.5%

• Less formation of soot and smoke

• Prevention of residues in the combustion chamber

• Protection of valves and injection nozzles

• Avoidance of sludge formation in the tank

Magnetization of the fuel achieves its full effect through the attachment of extra-strong permanent magnets to the pipes leading to the injection nozzles and the flow of the fuel through strong magnetic fields in the fuel feed pipe. The magnetized fuel flowing back from the engine to the tank prevents the formation of tank of sludge.

Material-Influencing Condenser Chips
Increase in the Charge Air Flow Rate
Air resistance in the long and twisted intake plenums is so great that its negative effects are noticed during cylinder charging. Turbochargers are therefore used for improved charging, although these are also subject the laws of air resistance. Through the use of MKCs the air speed in the peripheral zones of the air supply is markedly increased and produces an even airflow. The engine is supplied with more air, thereby noticeably improving cylinder charging, which results in improved combustion.

Together with magnetic fuel optimizers this leads to lower fuel consumption, fewer combustion residues and a reduction in exhaust gases. The MKC condenser chips are easy to install. They are simply stuck to defined points of the air intake system.
