Abstract:
Results are presented from the final year of a 5-year program in research and development in hydrocarbon fuel handling and contaminant control, along with a statistical analysis of results from earlier tests performed to develop procedures for evaluating filter-separator elements, fuels, and fuel additives. The program included a large number of tests in a single-element filter-separator test loop and a variety of small-scale studies. A small coalescer device was developed and operated to study the role of filter-media parameters in removal of free water from fuel. In the water separometer WSIM test, variability in coalescer disks was shown to be one of the primary factors in repeatability and the use of fine media offered some promise for improvement. A small-scale investigation of low-temperature plugging of filter media was made. Large-scale tests on a static charge reducer were made on several fuel blends. An antistatic additive was effectively tested.
