  2. When fuel samples indicate solids/water passing through elements
  3. When maximum pressure drop across the filter (differential pressure) housing exceeds 15 PSI
  4. When filter is drained and remains emptied for 7 days or longer
35
Q

Operation of the Filter Hydraulic Control System is tested in accordance with PMS using what?

A

The X-75 Float Tester (lifts the float to simulate excessive water in the filter)

36
Q

What kind of valve is the filter outlet valve?

A

12,000 pounds

40
Q

How many valves does the filter hydraulic control system have? Where do connections lead?

A

4 valves (VASP=vent, automatic water drain, supply, pilot)

  • the system consists of 3 hydraulic control valves and 1 float operated rotary control valve. Two hydraulic control valves (automatic shutoff valve and pilot valve are located in the filter discharge line. The other hydraulic control valve (automatic water drain valve) is located in the filter sump drain line. The float operated control valve (rotary valve)
41
Q

When the float is in the up position what valves are open/closed? In the horizontal position? In the down position?

A

Up position: pilot valve is closed, automatic shutoff is closed, automatic water drain is open.

Horizontal position: all three are open

Down position: pilot is open, automatic shutoff is open, automatic water drain is closed.
