Standardize fuel temperature regardless of ambient conditions
Combat high fuel return line temperatures
Interfaces with CADET and 3rd party systems
Conditions fuel feed and return
Overview
The FCU 100 and 300 fuel conditioning units are designed to provide precision temperature control as an enhancement to the features of the FuelTrak Gravimetric, FuelTrak Transient fuel flow meters or other 3rd party fuel meters.
The FCU provides computer controlled fuel supply temperatures to:
Combat extreme ambient conditions
Combat high fuel return line temperatures
Match specific test requirements
Product Benefits
Conditioned process loop
Fuel is not heated/cooled directly
Condition fuel using set points from CADET or 3rd party control system
Integrate into existing fuel systems
Enclosure allows wall or post mounting
Common control enclosure between FuelTrak and FCU systems
System Description
The FCU control enclosure marshals the mains switching and I/O associated with the control of the process enclosure. The process enclosure requires one set of feed and return lines for the process fluid circuit and one for the chilled water circuit, therefore minimising the in-cell pipework. The temperature in the header tank is maintained or adjusted by directing the conditioning loop intake to one of two circuits. To cool the process loop, fluid is diverted through the chilled circuit’s heat exchanger before return to the header tank. To warm the process loop water circuit, the heat exchanger is by-passed and the immersion heater in the header tank is turned on. A PRT mounted in the header tank constantly monitors the temperature of the process water.
