Velcon SO-424V Fuel Water Separator Replacement Filter Cartridge

Product Overview

Velcon SO-424V is a classic standard cylindrical separation model within the Velcon SO series product portfolio. Different from tapered Faudi separation elements, Velcon SO series adopts straight cylindrical structure, featuring uniform radial fluid flow distribution inside the filter housing. The stable cylindrical layout helps maintain consistent flow resistance under continuous fuel transmission and avoids uneven load on filter media.

Our replacement SO-424V utilizes high-temperature permanently cured hydrophobic filter media. It maintains steady water interception performance under long-term continuous fuel scouring and effectively prevents secondary fuel emulsification. Integral end cap sealing eliminates fluid bypass and short-circuit filtration. The built-in rigid reinforced inner support skeleton prevents media bulging, shrinkage and deformation under frequent differential pressure fluctuations. With strict dimensional tolerance control and stable raw material quality, this separation cartridge delivers consistent separation efficiency throughout its full service cycle.

Working Principle

SO-424V works based on Velcon’s classic cylindrical inside-out hydrophobic separation mechanism:

1. Fuel mixed with coalesced water droplets and tiny solid impurities flows radially outward from the inner core toward the outer filter media layer.

2. Hydrophobic filter media repels all free water droplets and blocks water penetration through the filter layer.

3. Only clean, dry and qualified fuel smoothly passes through the cylindrical separation cartridge.

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

Key Features

Application Scenarios

SO-424V separation filter cartridges are widely deployed in fuel purification systems equipped with Velcon coalescer-separator assemblies, including bulk oil depots, petrochemical finished fuel transmission pipelines, port fuel bunkering stations and general aviation fuel supply terminals. As vital secondary separation components, they eliminate free water and solid contaminants after coalescence treatment, raise fuel dryness and clarity, and protect downstream fuel pumps, precision flow meters and control valves from water-induced corrosion and particle abrasion.

FAQ

Q: Can LEFILTER SO-424V directly replace original Velcon filter?

A: Yes, all outer dimensions, interface size and sealing parameters match original elements, supporting direct plug-and-play replacement.

Q: What is the main difference between Velcon SO series and Faudi separators?

A: Velcon SO separators adopt straight cylindrical shape, while Faudi filters are tapered conical structure; they cannot be cross-installed in each other’s housings.

Q: What working conditions suit SO-424V?

A: It fits medium-flow continuous fuel purification systems using Velcon two-stage coalescence separation technology for jet fuel and diesel processing.
