Fluid conditioner removes harmful particles
The Magnom field-effect fluid conditioner can remove ferrous (and other) contaminants down to less than 1um in size from a variety of fluids.
In these applications the Magnom has increased the life of the conventional filter, the injectors and pumps and reduced the need for tank cleaning.
Importantly it has therefore reduced maintenance requirements and downtime.
The Magnom delivers this by removing contamination (particularly ferrous) down to less than 1um (reducing the rate at which the fuel degrades by removing many of the catalysts to oxidation).
The FCS team has always been amazed at the amount of contamination present in new fuel, often introduced in the storage process by rusty containers.
The Magnom also breaks up harmful bacteria, particularly from light diesel fuels.
The bacteria are disrupted by the strong magnetic field, this breaks them into smaller particles which are then free to pass through the conventional filter and the injector without blocking.
Magnoms have been sold into fuel systems in a number of sectors, including: agriculture, marine, performance automotive, construction, standby power and industrial.
