Product Overview
Facet SM-29FD-5 is defined as the SM-series FD long-life durable separation element. Its core design focuses on operational stability and extended service cycle under continuous fluctuating working conditions. The optimized fiber weaving process improves media toughness, effectively resisting fuel long-term scouring and pressure impact, avoiding early clogging and performance attenuation.
Compared with other grade elements, SM-29FD-5 balances basic water separation and particle interception capabilities, prioritizing overall operational durability. The permanent hydrophobic modification maintains stable water-repellent effect for a long time and inhibits fuel secondary emulsification. Integral one-piece epoxy sealing eliminates filtration dead zones and bypass leakage, while the reinforced lightweight inner bracket ensures no media deformation during long-cycle operation. For users pursuing stable operation and low maintenance costs, this FD-grade element is the most cost-efficient choice in the SM series.

Working Principle
SM-29FD-5 adopts Facet classic durable hydrophobic inside-out separation principle:
1. After primary coalescence, fuel containing mixed water droplets and tiny solid impurities flows uniformly from inside to outside.
2. FD-grade durable fiber layer stably intercepts free water and fine contaminants without water penetration.
3. High-quality dry fuel smoothly passes through the filter media with low flow resistance.
4. Blocked water droplets aggregate and settle by gravity, completing efficient and stable fuel-water separation.
