Facet SM-24FE-5 FE-Grade Precision Micro-Water Removal Fuel Separator Element

Facet SM-24FE-5 belongs to the SM-series FE precision separation category. Different from heavy-duty FB elements focusing on dirt holding capacity and universal FA elements for basic water removal, FE grade targets trace micro-moisture control to avoid fuel turbidity and secondary emulsification. Positioned for conventional industrial working conditions, SM-series elements adopt mature hydrophobic glass fiber media without the upgraded synthetic materials used by SS series, delivering stable performance under normal continuous operation scenarios.

The filter media undergoes complete permanent hydrophobic curing to maintain stable water repellency during long-term fuel flushing. Integral epoxy end cap bonding eliminates fluid bypass and short-circuit filtration, while lightweight reinforced inner support prevents media deformation under fluctuating differential pressure. For projects with moderate high-cleanliness requirements and budget control, SM-24FE-5 serves as a practical and reliable secondary purification option.

Working Principle

SM-24FE-5 operates on Facet’s proven inside-out hydrophobic interception separation mechanism:

1. Fuel containing coalesced large water droplets and trace emulsified moisture flows radially outward from the inner core.

2. FE-grade dense ultra-fine hydrophobic fiber layer accurately intercepts micro water droplets and prevents water penetration.

3. Only dry, qualified jet fuel, diesel and light hydrocarbon fluids smoothly pass through the filter media.

4. Captured micro water gradually aggregates into large water masses and settles by gravity to realize thorough fuel-water separation.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between SM-24FE-5 and FB-grade filter elements?

A: SM-24FE-5 is FE precision grade focused on micro-water removal; FB grade prioritizes high dirt holding capacity for systems with high solid impurity content.
