Fuel conditioning systems for diesel engines
Efficient operation of ship and power station diesel engines requires optimum fuel supply, addressing the challenge of maintaining the correct fuel viscosity and temperature for injection systems.
Achieve optimal fuel viscosity and temperature
The ViscoBoosterUnit from GEA provides a comprehensive solution for fuel treatment in ship and power station diesel engines. It adjusts fuel to the necessary injection viscosity and temperature between the clean oil tank and the injection system for both main and auxiliary engines. The unit includes purpose-built booster pumps to ensure adequate system pressure, adapting to different engine consumption levels based on power ratings. With the capability to maintain injection viscosity at approximately 10-24 cSt and temperatures around 120-150°C, the system is reliable and versatile. Additionally, the ViscoBoosterUnit offers various configurations to meet specific engine manufacturer requirements, including options with or without stand-by functions for feeder pumps, booster pumps, and heavy fuel oil preheaters. The compact and lightweight design ensures easy installation and maintenance, making it a robust solution for fuel conditioning.
