CF50.0 CRITICAL FUEL SYSTEMS For Fuel Storage Up To 250,000 Gallons (946,000 liters) Overview: THE CF50.0-PLC-UL Fuel polishing system was initially designed in 2015 for a very large data center group. The primary focus was to eliminate the possibility of standby power failure due to contaminated fuel; but more important was the safe handling of diesel fuel to avoid a catastrophic incident such as fire or explosion. Even though diesel fuel is relatively safe with a flash point greater than 100F; it does have a lower AIT; 254C for #2 diesel compared to 371C for gasoline. With a lower auto ignition temp. than gasoline. Diesel fuels that come in contact with a heated surface will ignite at a much lower temperature than gasoline. All mechanical and electrical devices have a probability of failure. Therefore Fueltec has made every effort to design a critical power fuel filtration system that minimizes the possibility of a catastrophic accident involving diesel fuel with the Model CF50.0 System Safety Features: Positive displacement 50 GPM pump with a pressure relief valve and 5 HP explosion proof Class1, Div. 1 motor Temp. Code T4 Intrinsically (IS) pressure and vacuum sensors, flow control, water level sensors and wiring. Directional control valves for tank selection with explosion proof NEMA 7 actuators. The UL 508A Control Panel is located outside the stainless steel equipment enclosure. 703.443.1717 www.criticalpowergroup.com Standby Power reliability is only as good as the condition of its fuel. Virtually all diesel fuel contains some moisture. Additional water builds in tanks as atmospheric moisture condenses. Moisture can accumulate in diesel tanks as condensate droplets on exposed tank surfaces, as dissolved water in the fuel, and as water bottoms beneath the fuel. Microbes depend on this water for growth. Additionally, microbes depend on the organic and inorganic molecules in diesel fuel for nutrition. Consequently, some species attack the fuel directly, growing at the expense of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon fuel components. The biodegradation of fuel, in support of microbial growth, is a direct impact of contamination.

Indirect effects include: Engine Failure from clogged filters Microbial influenced corrosion Sludge formation Organic acid accumulation Corrosive deposits on engine parts Fuel Injector tips blown off (from water in fuel) 2015 Lenz All Rights Reserved Design subject to change without notice
