Velcon SO-430V High Flow Cylindrical Fuel Water Separator Cartridge

Product Overview

Velcon SO-430V is a high-flow core model in the Velcon SO cylindrical separator lineup. Compared with smaller SO-424V series filters, SO-430V adopts a larger outer diameter and longer effective filtration length, greatly improving overall system throughput without sacrificing separation accuracy. The classic straight cylindrical structure ensures uniform radial fluid distribution, effectively avoiding local pressure drop surge and media overload during long-duration continuous operation.

This replacement SO-430V element adopts high-temperature cured permanent hydrophobic glass fiber media, which maintains stable water-repellent performance even under long-term high-flow fuel scouring. It effectively suppresses fuel secondary emulsification and guarantees consistent fuel dryness. The integrated one-piece polyurethane end cap provides full-face leak-proof sealing to eliminate bypass filtration and dead filtration zones. The upgraded reinforced internal support skeleton enhances structural stability, resisting media deformation and layer separation under continuous high-flow and pressure fluctuation conditions. Balancing large flow capacity, stable separation efficiency and long service life, SO-430V is widely applicable for mainstream Velcon industrial fuel purification systems.

Working Principle

SO-430V operates on Velcon’s proven high-flow adaptive cylindrical separation principle:

1. Large-volume fuel containing coalesced water droplets and fine solid impurities flows radially outward from the inner core.

2. High-performance hydrophobic media firmly intercepts all free water droplets and prevents water penetration.

3. Clean, dry and qualified fuel rapidly passes through the filter layer with ultra-low flow resistance.

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

Key Features

Application Scenarios

SO-430V high-flow separation cartridges are widely used in medium and large-capacity fuel purification systems, including large oil depot fuel processing lines, port fuel bunkering systems, petrochemical finished fuel transmission pipelines and general aviation centralized fuel supply stations. As core secondary separation components, they effectively remove free water and fine particles after coalescence treatment, improve overall fuel purification efficiency, and protect downstream pumps, flow meters and control valves from moisture corrosion and particle abrasion.
