RV Series High Capacity Particulate Filter Vessels and Filter/Water Separation Vessels
Fuel Polishing Systems
Racor® RV Series Filter Vessels offer versatility in bulk filtration, fuel dispensing, high-volume fuel transfer applications, or water separation for all hydrocarbon fuel streams. These filters are usually deployed as first stage filtration and or fuel/water separation in fuel storage lines to remove emulsified water, dirt, rust, pipe scale, and other solids from Diesel Fuel, Bio-Diesel, Jet A, Jet A1, JP4, JP5, JP8, Kerosene, Gasoline, and Other Lubricating and Hydraulic Fluids.
Versatile Abilities: Either Particle Filtration or Water Separation
Use with Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Jet Fuel, Gasoline, or Hydraulic Fluids

The RVFS Series Filter Vessels offer an unparalleled high efficiency, versatile, economical and low maintenance solution to many fuel delivery and industrial filtration applications. The RVFS will remove emulsified free water and solids from diesel fuel, gasoline, and other hydrocarbon streams. When equipped with filter/water separator filters, water can be drained and removed from the RVFS sump. The vessels will accept Microfilters, Coalescer/Water Separator combinations and Monitor Water/Absorbers. These units are great for biofuel applications due to ease of service, rugged construction, and filtration efficiency.
Used mainly in diesel and kerosene re-fueling industry, these robust vessels can be seen on countless fuel dispensing locations providing clean dry safe fuel to modern diesel and heavy duty vehicles. Equally these vessels can be used for kerosene, AV gas, heating oils, gasoline and numerous other hydrocarbons fuels.
The cellulose microfilter elements offer 95% filtration efficiency of particulates and are available in micron ratings of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 40 microns.
Coalescer and Separator mounted in the RVFS housing. Fluid/fuel is passed from the outside of the coalescer to the inside. The coalescer cartridge provides primary filtration of the fuel as well as coalescing free water from it. The clean fuel passes through the separator barrier and into the outlet of the housing. The coalesced water droplets are repelled by the hydrophobic barrier and are collected in the sump of the housing. The sump should be drained daily. The RVFS Coalescer and Separator requires one Coalescer Cartridge (Prefix OCP) and one Separator Cartridge (Prefix SP).
