Water level in the bowl and drain wingWater and residues settling in the bowlHead with metal shroud, transparent bowl with the pleated element in view, seal, drain, catch cupConceptual illustration of a HYDROCORE™ fuel/water separator with a replaceable element inside a transparent bowl under a permanent metal shroud. The pleated element can be seen through the bowl. Separated water and impurities, denser than diesel, settle at the bottom of the bowl and are released through the drain. At service the bowl comes off, only the element is changed and the same bowl is refitted with its seal: the shroud and head stay in place. Illustrative simulation of how it works: a conceptual animation, not an engineering model or test result, and it shows no product data.

How to read this figure

  1. Head and shroud. The head and the metal shroud below it are permanent parts of the equipment. The bowl seals against the lip of the shroud.
  2. Element inside the bowl. The pleated HYDROCORE™ element sits inside a tall transparent bowl, so both the element and the collected water can be seen.
  3. Seal. The red ring marks the bowl seal. It has to be seated correctly at every service to keep the fuel in and the air out.
  4. Water and drain. Water and residues settle at the bottom of the bowl. Clicking the figure, or pressing the space bar, opens the drain into the catch cup.
  5. Service. Moving the cursor to the top, or pressing E, runs the service: the bowl comes down, the element is changed and the same bowl is refitted with its seal. Shroud and head stay in place.
