Hydrocarbon Filter Vessel Specifications
 

For nearly 30 years, Racor has been recognized as the leader in filtration and separation technology. Our engineering team takes specific application prerequisites, and by utilizing the latest computer-assisted design tools, quickly develops the necessary components to manufacture filter vessels that meet industry and customer-specific requirements. Our successful experience in global applications is the result of a continuous improvement process and real-world evaluations of product performance.

Pressure Filter Vessels

Racor designs and manu-factures ASME Code Pressure Vessels for hydrocarbon filtration. Liquid filter vessels remove micronic particulate from fuels, lubricating oils, petrochemicals, coolants and solvents.
These vessels are designed, fabricated, stamped and certified to meet ASME Pressure Vessel Code. Each vessel is designed to perform in conjunction with the filter elements specified in order to obtain optimum performance.

BVFS Series

Racor BVFS Series filter vessels offer a versatile, economical alternative to competitor's vessels. Industry applications include removing liquid and solid contaminants from diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene, aviation gas, jet fuel and other lubricating or hydraulic oils. BVFS vessels utilize proven filter design technology and can be used as coalescers, pre-filters or separators by changing internal components, flow direction or by selecting optional filter cartridges when ordering. The vesels are fabricated from carbon steel with an exterior primer coating of Gavlon suede gray and the interior is epoxy coated which meets MIL-C-4556E. Element choices include coalescers, separators, particulate pre-filters or water absorbing cartridges. Completely dressed factory filter vessels can be specified with differential pressure gauges, water sight glasses, air eliminators, and manual or automatic drains. Wall mount units can be special ordered. Consult factory for other options.

812 Series

The Racor 812 Fuel Filter/Water Separator Series offers large diesel engine operators ease of maintenance with continuous engine operation. Continuous operations include filter changeouts and the draining of accumulated water from see-thru, high impact bowls. Manifolded systems have sufficient fuel flow capacity for prime or standby power operations, commercial marine engines or other large engine applications.
The series includes the 812, the dual manifolded 75/812 and the triple manifolded 79/812. The 812 Series is designed to filter liquid and solid contaminants from diesel fuel.
The units utilize proven Racor technology with Aquabloc filtration, which filters down to ten microns, to purify diesel fuel before OEM engine filters are used. Maintenance costs are lowered because OEM filters will realize longer changeouts. One inch (1") NPTF inlet and outlet ports allow for improved flow and less restriction.

Recycling Systems

Racor Recycling Systems can be used to remove water and contamination from diesel fuel, kerosene and light hydrocarbons in day tanks or fuel tanks. Tank recycling reduces the cost of engine fuel filters and maintenance requirements. The 800-OF3 wall/bulkhead mount model and the 800D-5REC portable buggy offers continuous or timed operation to meet operators demanding schedules. Filter assemblies feature genuine Aquabloc elements, see-thru collection bowls which allow quick visual inspection and easy to use manual drain valves.
The new high-flow 8250D recycling system has 1 1/4" NPT ports and is designed for severe service in-line applications that do not require a mounting bracket. Maximum flow rate is 250 gph and a 10 micron primary Aquabloc filter element and see-thru bowl is standard.
