Monitor Filter

 

Monitor elements fulfil several functions which provide an important contribution to aircraft safety. They absorb free and emulsified water and remove ultrafine solid particles and interrupt the flow in case of a water slug. It is thus ensured, that the airplanes are only refuelled with clean and dry fuel.

​

A fuel monitor should be fitted with an automatic air eliminator and be sized to suit the discharge rate and pressure of the delivery system. The elements absorb any water still present in the fuel and to cut off the flow of fuel if the amount of water in the fuel exceeds an acceptable limit compromising fuel quality.
