Parker Racor 1000FH User Manual

Turbine Series
900FH and 1000FH
Fuel Filter/Water Separators
Turbine Series filters protect
precision engine components
from dirt, rust, algae, asphaltines,
varnishes, and especially water,
which is prevalent in engine fuels.
They remove contaminants from
fuel using the following legendary
three stage process:
Stage 1 - Separation
As fuel enters the assembly, it
moves through the centrifuge and
spins off large solids and water
droplets, which are heavier than
fuel, and fall to the bottom of the
collection bowl.
Stage 2 - Coalescing
Small water droplets bead-up on
the surface of the conical baffle
and cartridge filter. When heavy
enough, they too fall to the bottom
of the collection bowl.
Stage 3 - Filtration
Proprietary Aquabloc
®
cartridge
filters repel water and remove
contaminants from fuel down to
2 micron (nominal). Aquabloc
cartridge filters are waterproof
and effective longer than water
absorbing filters.
