Separator Element
FW6-/FW6-T-Type
Specification EI 1581 6th Edition, Category C, Type S & S-LW
Separator elements are used as the second stage of a high-performance separation in filter/water separators. After emergence from the coalescer, aviation fuels pass through the pores of the separator element while water droplets are repelled by the hydrophobic separator surface. Water droplets settle into the filter/water separator sump to be drained off.
FAUDI Aviation’s elements are fitted with a Teflon®-coated screen. Separator elements with a Teflon®-coated screen can be reused after a cleaning during coalescer element changeouts. Small areas of damage can be temporary repaired.
