ESI Clean Fuel SystemTM (CFS) is an innovative NEW product that enables you to properly manage the fuel onboard your vessel. Through the use of the Clean Fuel System, you can decontaminate, transfer, filter and de-water all fuel in your storage and delivery system.
Why do I need an ESI Clean Fuel System?
The marine environment provides ideal conditions for the
contamination of fuel by water and microoganisms. As owners and operators of trawlers,
ocean motorboats and sailing yachts, this is of particular concern due to the large
storage tanks, complexity of the storage system, and slow fuel turnover rate typical of
these vessels. These contaminants can result in poor engine performance and reliability,
which can lead to unsafe conditions while underway. Expensive maintenance and repair costs
can escalate if these conditions cannot be controlled.
Components
DE-BUGTM Fuel Decontamination Unit
The De-Bug Unit is a worldwide leader in microorganism control. Using
an exclusive patented design known as the "
TRI-MAG TM Bug Killer Pak", they
are capable of destroying nearly 100% of all microorganisms is a single pass. DE-BUG is
exclusive to the Clean Fuel System.
Fuel Transfer Pump
Fuel transfer pumps in the CFS are continuous duty, commercial grade, 180 GPH pumps
(available in 12VDC, 24VDC & 115VAC), specifically designed for marine fuel
applications where low maintenance and long service life is required.
Hardware
The ESI-Clean Fuel System uses high quality components including brass piping,
1/2" ball check full flow brass valves, milled fittings, water and corrosion
resistant electrical control box, and a durable high-density polyethylene mounting board.
All compoments are mounted with 18-8 stainless steel fasteners.
Timer
An industrial grade, corrosion ressistant, 12-hour, manual twist timer with
auto-shut-off is provided for control of CFS operation periods and safety.
Electrical
The CFS uses a slow-blow 10 Amp fuse (DC systems) 10 Amp circuit breaker (AC systems)
color coded heavy gauge marine grade tinned copper wire, and a terminal block for ease of
connection.
Optional Equipment
Fuel filter with water separating capability; select from SeparTM
Model 2000/10 or Racor Model 1000FG. Fuel transfer pumps are also available in 24VDC and
115VAC configurations.
How the ESI Clean Fuel System Works
The Clean fuel system is designed to be installed in two ways. It
can be installed to become an integral part of your existing fuel supply system, utilizing
filters, separators, valves, manifolds, and other components already in place. The second
method for installation is to create a stand alone system that will be directly connected
to the vessel's fuel storage tanks, independent of the fuel supply system.
After installation of the CFS, your vessel now has the capability to recirculate fuel, using the fuel transfer pump, through the fiter/water separator (optional equipment), the DE-BUG fuel decontamination Unit, and return the "polished" fuel to any of the vessel's storage tanks. Additionally costly and hazardous biocides can now be eliminated.
Care of the ESI Clean Fuel System
The Clean Fuel System is engineered and manufactured with top
quality parts and components to ensure long service life. Therefore, little or no
maintenance is required. Periodic inspection of the components is recommended.
