The efficient operation of agricultural machinery depends on the purity of the oil products used in its operation. Purification of fuels and oils is mainly carried out by filtration through porous separators.
Currently, oil refineries (refineries) produce a thorough cleaning of the fuel. However, due to repeated resale and transportation, fuel contamination occurs. Due to poor flushing of the tank, other oil products and when filling the tank during precipitation, water and impurities can enter the fuel during its transportation. Water can enter the fuel tank in the form of condensation. Due to the long chain of transportation of petroleum products from refineries to consumers and non-compliance with transportation standards, customers receive low-quality fuel. Modern power systems for cars and tractors do not allow the presence of water and small impurities in the fuel. In this regard, in this paper, the problem of watered diesel fuel is considered. An assessment of the influence of such fuel on fuel equipment and engine operation is given. The data are given for the content of water in the fuel.
Consider the saturation of the market with filters that allow you to separate water and fine particles from fuel. The advantages and disadvantages of each existing filter and compared with the proposed membrane filter are considered. A technology has been introduced to separate water and fine impurities in diesel fuel by installing an additional fine filter in the tractor power system.
This article confirms the urgency of the problem of diesel fuel flooding. Data on the type of water contained in the fuel are given. An assessment of the effect of water in the fuel on fuel equipment and engine operation is given. The existing solutions to the problem of watering diesel fuel are presented and the effectiveness of the proposed filter is confirmed. A diagram of the proposed installation is presented, as well as plans for the modernization of the fuel cleaning.
