Function of the SEPAR 2000 with Fuel Heating

Heat is transmitted to the aluminium centrifuge and vane section very efficiently, so as the fuel enters the filter it starts to become warm. The warmed fuel prevents the filter becoming clogged by paraffin that has formed due to very low temperatures. The fuel filter heating system is controlled by a thermostat which activates the heater at 5 °C, if the fuel temperature reaches 10 °C the heater is switched off as the fuel heating system is not necessary. A pilot lamp located in the switch indicates when the thermostat has activated the heating system. The system is fully protected by a fuse in the filter housing that protects the heater in the unlinkely event that the heater temperature reaches 80 °C, also a fuse is fitted to the heater power supply.
