<\/p>\nUFI Filters has been selected by FPT to supply its diesel filter and pre-filter for the FPT F28 engine, which was awarded Diesel of the year 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 2.8-litre engine received this award due to its compactness, high productivity and low environmental impact, key strengths to which UFI filtration systems have also made a fundamental contribution. Type-approved in accordance with Stage V and Tier 3 Final standards, the powerful new FPT Industrial engine is designed for agricultural applications.<\/p>\n
The pre-filter supplied by UFI has the fundamental function of filtering water residues from the fuel, as well as separating the coarsest particles. It features a mixed cellulose and synthetic filter media, and is equipped with a heater to facilitate start-up in low temperatures, a system that boosts productivity and reduces engine consumption, even on cold starts.<\/p>\n
In light of the fact that this is an agricultural engine, temperature management is of paramount importance. The pre-filter also comes with a water sensor that notifies the user that the spare part needs to be replaced when the product is no longer working optimally. The UFI pre-filter boasts a very high water-to-diesel separation capacity of over 95 per cent, as well as a particle filtration efficiency of over 98 per cent, with a working life of up to 1,200 hours before it needs replacing.<\/p>\n
The filter is supplied by UFI Filters as an original equipment component along with the pre-filter, and has a fine filtration function, with a separation capacity of more than 95 per cent for particles up to 4\u03bcm, according to ISO 19438.<\/p>\n
The filter also has a crucial thermal management function; it is equipped with a temperature sensor to support the heater located on the pre-filter when starting up at low temperatures, thus contributing to a reduction in consumption and emissions. Used to filter out the finest particles (which represent the majority), the filter has a replacement interval of up to 600 working hours.<\/p>\n
The two UFI Filters screw-in filters make servicing operations easy; according to UFI. These are already facilitated by the engine itself, the design of which allows maintenance to be carried out from just one side of the engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
