The Fuel Guardian System

Description
CFI systems are self contained diesel fuel quality maintenance systems. They are specifically designed to dry and filter stored diesel fuel to levels that exceed the recommendations of the major diesel engine manufacturers. When a back up generator is called into service the engine must start! Diesel fuel, when processed through a CFI system, ensures instant starts, optimizing generator availability. Using a CFI system also reduces annual maintenance costs. By insuring the integrity of the diesel fuel, disposal of contaminated fuel and annual reservoir cleaning costs are eliminated. Maintaining clean and dry diesel fuel also discourages the growth of algae and bacteria. This eliminates the need to add expensive chemicals and biocide additives, resulting in additional savings. CFI systems are PLC equipped, fully automated, have remote monitoring capabilities and are capable of servicing multiple reservoirs.

Performance
Initial filtration is accomplished via a 90 mesh cleanable strainer followed by a single element that combines particulate and moisture removal. The Kaydon Element Technology designed element, is capable of particulate filtration to less than 2 microns. Moisture removal is accomplished via coalescing and separation that can reduce influent water content up to 99.9% in a single pass. Overall sediment and moisture content can be maintained at or below .02% by volume. In addition, when used in accordance with CFI instructions diesel fuel purified with a CFI system will exceed the recommended diesel fuel specifications of the major diesel engine manufacturers.

Water Removal - Coalescence
Kaydon coalescers are specifically formulated to efficiently separate water from a variety of fluids like aviation fuel, diesel fuel, turbine oil, etc. Kaydon coalescers can reduce a 5,000 parts per million (ppm) concentration of water to 5 ppm during a single pass with many fluids. In the illustration you can see the superior Kaydon coalescer at work. The fuel, contaminated with water, flows from the inside out. As the fuel and water pass through the special Kaydon coalescer media, the small water droplets coalesce - forming larger water droplets, leaving water at the bottom, while clean fuel flows out the top.

Nominal Filter Rating
An arbitrary micron rating indicated by a filter manufacturer. Due to lack of reproducibility, this rating is not recognized nor accepted by the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA).
