Application Notes

Automatic filtration of fuel oil in the supply circuit of the MAN 48/60 marine engine. FIL-003 is installed as the fuel oil automatic filter in the supply circuit and is designed to maintain fuel filtration during the automatic back-flushing sequence. The filter is equipped with differential-pressure indication and switches.

Additional Notes

The MAN 48/60 Fuel Oil Automatic Filter Element forms part of the fuel-oil supply system identified as FIL-003 (Fuel Oil Automatic Filter, supply circuit) in MAN documentation. The automatic filter is installed in the fuel-oil supply circuit and is designed to operate without significant pressure drop during the flushing sequence. MAN specifies a filter mesh size of 0.010 mm (10 µm absolute) for common-rail injection and 0.034 mm (34 µm absolute) for conventional injection. The applicable filtration specification therefore depends on the installed fuel-injection system. FIL-003 is equipped with differential-pressure indication and switches to monitor filter condition. A bypass arrangement is provided in parallel with the automatic filter. During maintenance of the automatic filter, the bypass can be opened and the fuel can be filtered through the FIL-013 fuel-oil duplex filter, according to the installed system configuration.

The MAN 48/60 Fuel Oil Automatic Filter Element is part of the fuel-oil supply system of the MAN 48/60 marine engine and is associated with FIL-003, the Fuel Oil Automatic Filter in the supply circuit.

FIL-003 provides automatic filtration of the fuel before it reaches the engine. The filter is designed to operate with no significant pressure drop during the automatic flushing sequence and is equipped with differential-pressure indication and switches for monitoring filter condition.

The required filtration mesh depends on the fuel-injection system. MAN specifies 0.010 mm (10 µm absolute) for common-rail injection and 0.034 mm (34 µm absolute) for conventional injection. The applicable specification must therefore be matched to the installed engine and fuel-injection configuration.

The automatic filter is installed in the plant fuel-oil supply system rather than being attached directly to the engine. A bypass is provided in parallel with the automatic filter. During maintenance, the bypass can be opened and fuel filtration can be maintained through the FIL-013 fuel-oil duplex filter, depending on the installed system configuration.
