Technical specifications Technical specifications The FAM is able to dewater authorized fluids down to a water content of less than 100 ppm and transformer oils down to less than 10 ppm. As an approximate guideline, the dimensioning of the FluidAqua Mobil can be defined in accordance with the tank volume.
Mode of operation Mode of operation After being switched on, the motor pump assembly (4.0), depending on the fluid level, starts to suck the fluid in the vacuum column from the tank via the intake strainer (4.02) or from the vacuum column and the switch valve (3.85). The volumetric flow rate is divided in the volume flow divider (4.54).
Mode of operation Cleaning in Bypass Flow The FAM is connected with suction and pressure lines to the tank and cleans the medium to be found in it in constant bypass flow. Attach the FAM to the tank which is to be cleaned by means of a suction and pressure line and switch it on.
Unit setup and connection Unit setup and connection CAUTION Outlet air of the rotary vane vacuum pump Hazardous to health ► Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the surrounding area of the unit. Air coming out of the rotary vane vacuum pump can contain particles of vacuum pump oil and/or the fluid.
Unit setup and connection Connection overview The stationary and mobile FAM versions have different scopes of delivery. The stationary FAM has the positions 1 and 3, the mobile FAM additionally has the positions 5 and 7.

If an AquaSensor AS is not installed or it is deactivated in the configuration menu (see page 73), then "0.0"...
Starting up the unit Setting the pressure in the vacuum column Set the pressure in the vacuum column with the needle valve (3.68) and check the vacuum using pressure gauge (3.37). Note that the pressure to be set in the vacuum column is dependent, for example, on the operating medium, the operating viscosity, the air or the water content.
Page 53
Starting up the unit Lower pressure (e.g. -0.6 bar) means lower residual water content. Higher pressure (for example, -0.4 bar) means faster dewatering in case of free water. By closing the needle valve (D) you reduce the absolute pressure and also the air-flow rate for dewatering the operating medium.
Starting up the unit Venting the filter housing WARNING Hot fluid Risk of burns ► Make sure that hot fluid can exit when bleeding. NOTICE Air in the fluid filter The filter element is not utilized completely ► Bleed the fluid filter after each shut-down/filter element replacement Bleed the fluid filter through the bleed screw (X) until fluid comes out.
