Facet SM-30FD-5 FD-Grade Stable Flow Fuel Water Separator Filter

Facet SM-30FD-5 is categorized as an SM-series FD long-stability separation cartridge. Optimized for medium-flow working conditions, it adopts reinforced hydrophobic glass fiber with enhanced compression resistance and scouring resistance. The uniform fiber density design ensures even fluid penetration, avoiding local overloading and early performance decay that commonly occurs in ordinary filter elements.

With permanent hydrophobic treatment on the entire filter layer, SM-30FD-5 continuously repels free water and prevents secondary fuel emulsification during long-cycle operation. The integrated epoxy end cap sealing structure eliminates bypass filtration and dead zones, while the rigid internal support skeleton maintains structural integrity under frequent minor pressure fluctuations. Balancing reliable water removal, particle filtration and outstanding service life, this FD-grade element is the most practical choice for conventional medium-flow fuel systems pursuing stable daily operation and low maintenance frequency.

Working Principle

SM-30FD-5 adopts Facet’s mature stable-flow inside-out hydrophobic separation system:

1. Pre-coalesced fuel containing mixed free water and fine solid impurities flows radially from the inner core to the outer media layer.

2. FD-grade durable fiber structure stably intercepts water droplets and fine contaminants without media penetration or deformation.

3. Dry, qualified jet fuel, diesel and light hydrocarbon fluids pass through with constant low pressure drop.

4. Trapped water accumulates on the media surface, merges into large water masses and settles by gravity to complete efficient fuel-water separation.
