Cost-effective FAUDI Y.6-362/5 Coalescing Filter Replacement | LEFILTER

LEFILTER provides high-match aftermarket coalescing filter element to replace the original FAUDI Y.6-362/5. Designed for standard EI 1581 6th edition aviation fuel separation systems, this coalescer features accurate dimensional replication and consistent flow performance with genuine FAUDI parts. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for industrial and aviation fuel water separation units, effectively removing fine solid contaminants and suspended water droplets from hydrocarbon fluids. With stable structural durability and cost advantages, our Y.6-362/5 filter solves the problems of high OEM prices and long lead times for end-users.

Fuel cleanliness is critical for the stable operation of aviation fuel terminals and petrochemical processing systems. Micro water droplets and tiny particles often cause fuel turbidity, pipeline blockage and premature wear of precision instruments. As a standard 6-inch grade coalescing element in the FAUDI Y-series, Y.6-362/5 is widely used in medium and large flow fuel purification equipment. LEFILTER’s upgraded replacement adopts optimized gradient fiber structure and pressure-resistant design, maintaining steady coalescing efficiency under pressure pulsation and low-temperature working conditions.

How FAUDI Y.6-362/5 Coalescer Works

The Y.6-362/5 coalescing filter adopts standard in-to-out gradient filtration and droplet polymerization technology. The outer low-density fiber layer captures large particles and sediments to prevent early clogging and ensure even fluid distribution across the entire filter area.

When fuel flows through the inner high-hydrophilic glass fiber media, invisible emulsified water droplets and oil mist are trapped on the fiber surface. Under continuous fluid scouring, discrete micro-droplets collide and merge into large-size water droplets. These enlarged droplets separate from the fuel by gravity and settle at the bottom of the filter housing, while clean fuel flows downstream to complete high-standard purification.

Unique Product Features & Structural Design

1. Standard EI 1581 Grade Fiber Media

Adopting aviation-grade borosilicate glass fiber with graded density layout, the media delivers excellent hydrophilicity and chemical inertness. It perfectly adapts to jet fuel, diesel and gasoline purification, ensuring stable water removal and particle interception performance without fiber shedding or media failure.

2. Reinforced Polyamide End Cap & NBR Sealing

Glass fiber reinforced polyamide end caps enhance structural rigidity and aging resistance. Equipped with original NBR gaskets, the filter maintains reliable sealing under frequent pressure and temperature cycling. All installation interfaces are fully compatible with FAUDI standard filter housings.

3. Epoxy-coated Steel Support & Full Hot-melt Sealing

Internal epoxy-coated steel central tube provides strong anti-collapse support, preventing media deformation under high differential pressure. Full hot-melt bonding process eliminates secondary pollution caused by adhesive dissolution, supporting 24-hour continuous stable operation.

Industrial Applications

LEFILTER FAUDI Y.6-362/5 replacement coalescer is widely used in aviation fuel depots, large-scale fuel tank farms, petrochemical fuel processing and industrial hydrocarbon purification systems. It effectively improves fuel cleanliness, avoids pipeline icing and corrosion, and protects downstream compressors, meters and control valves from liquid hammer and abrasion damage.

Product Advantages

All Y.6-362/5 filter elements are strictly tested by bubble point and pressure resistance inspection before delivery, ensuring 100% interchangeability with original FAUDI products. Optimized fiber distribution provides higher dirt holding capacity and longer service life than ordinary generic filters. We provide stable spot supply and professional technical support, helping customers reduce procurement costs and system maintenance downtime.

FAQ for FAUDI Y.6-362/5 Coalescing Filter

Q1: Is LEFILTER Y.6-362/5 fully interchangeable with original FAUDI?

A1: Yes. It fully matches original size, flow direction and sealing structure, supporting direct drop-in replacement without equipment modification.

Q2: What standard does Y.6-362/5 comply with?

A2: This coalescing element is manufactured and tested in accordance with EI 1581 6th Edition aviation filtration standards for high-precision fuel purification.

Q3: What are the working temperature and pressure limits?

A3: It works stably at -30℃ to +80℃, with a maximum differential pressure of 5.2 bar. Exceeding the range will shorten service life.

Q4: When should I replace the Y.6-362/5 filter?

A4: Replace immediately when system differential pressure reaches 1.0 bar to prevent fluid channeling and reduced filtration efficiency.

Q5: What contaminants can this filter remove?

A5: It efficiently removes fine solid particles, free water and oil mist in aviation fuel and light hydrocarbon media.

Q6: Does it support long-term continuous operation?

A6: Yes. Reinforced steel support and integrated hot-melt structure ensure stable performance for long-cycle industrial continuous operation.

Q7: Do you provide sample test and bulk customization?

A7: Free sample testing is available. We also support customized logo, packaging and bulk order delivery for different project needs.
