29 AUTO FILTER

29.1 Starting-up

Open stop valves at the filter inlet and outlet.

Check for presence of control air at the required pressure of 4 to 10 bars.

Switch on the main switch at the EL-control panel. The filter is ready for operation.

Set change-over valve plug to position I (see figure 1).

Switch the pump on.

Trigger a flushing cycle by actuating the "Manual" function at the EL-control panel.
This vents the filter housing of the automatic press filter, i.e. the air held in the filter is
discharged by the liquid pressure via the flushing arrangement into the flushing oil
piping.

Unscrew venting screw (cover retainer) of the by-pass filter.

Change-over valve plug to position II (see figure 1). Through this pressure equalising
position, the housing of the by-pass filter is slowly filled up and vented through the
venting screw.

Close venting screw and return valve plug to position I.

The automatic press filter is now in operation, while the by-pass filter is on standby,
i.e. during maintenance work on the automatic press filter the by-pass filter can by
setting the plug to position IV (see figure) be immediately put into the filter circuit and
the automatic press filter taken out of operation.

29.2 Maintenance

A For all maintenance operations, the filter must be taken out of service and the air supply
shut off!

To maintain trouble-free operation, the points listed below must be observed when carrying out
maintenance work.

Remove and check the screen insert initially after about 50 hours of operation, then after
250, 500 and later every 1000 hours of operation.

Since even with automatic filters the possibility cannot be excluded that in the course of time
and depending on the nature of the medium dirt particles may accumulate in the fabric of the
filter elements and lead to encrustation, the screen discs must, when that happens, be
soaked for about 4 hours in a suitable carbon remover e.g. Filter-clean or B85 of Vecom or
others.

Then using the flat yet nozzle of the Boll cleaning unit type 5.04 or another available high
pressure cleaning lance the wire mesh of the discs should be thoroughly washed section by
section. After drying with compressed air, check the discs regarding cleaning effect and
eventual damages.

The fabric must not be damaged.

Damaged screen discs or screen discs, which cannot be cleaned, must be changed.

A Stubborn deposits on the screen discs can be removed in ultrasonic cleaning plants. This
must be done expertly, however, since the fabrics may otherwise be damaged as a result
of:

a) excessively long exposure (5 minutes max.)

b) excessively high frequency
c) local abrasions on the fabric through inexpert positioning in the ultrasonic bath.

Check movable internal components of the flushing arrangement inside the screen support body for
easy movement and possible signs of wear. Check seals for wear and replace if necessary.

29.2.1 Maintenance instructions (automatic press filter)

A See drawing 1-25415 or 1-25237 resp. for type 6.23

For all maintenance operations, the filter must be taken out of service and the air
supply shut off!

Removal of the screen insert

Unscrew control air pipework (item 65) at the cylinder cover (item 3).

Slacken screws (item 25) and pull off cylinder cover upwards.

Pull screen insert out of the housing complete with flushing arrangement.

Unscrew slotted nut (item 43) and pull screen discs (item 5) off the support
body (item 4).

A
To slacken the slotted nut, do not clamp the support body on the
sealing surfaces or piston rod. Two clamping surfaces have been
provided for this purpose on the upper side of the support body.

The starting torque at reinstall for the slotted nut (item 43)

DN 32 40 Nm
DN 40; 50 48 Nm

Removal of the flushing arrangement

Remove screen insert as described above.

Slacken self-locking nut (item 37) and pull piston (item 12) off the piston rod
(item 10).

To counteract the torque when slackening the nut, use a drift or similar,
which is inserted into the transverse bore of the piston rod underneath
the piston.

Pull the piston rod out of the support body complete with flushing plate (item
6).

After removing the circlip (item 39), the flushing plate can be pulled off the
piston rod.

The sludge drain reducer (item 11) at the end of the piston rod is at the same
time used as the valve cone for the flushing oil valve and can be unscrewed
from the piston rod for cleaning or for replacement in the ease of damage.

Removal of the flushing oil valve

Remove screen insert as described above.

Unscrew the sludge drain guide (item 8), which is in the form of a
hexagon, from the filter housing with a box spanner.

Remove the guide bush (item 9) after releasing the circlip (item 40).

Remove circlip (item 39) and push valve seat (item 7) upwards out of
the sludge drain guide.

29.2.2 Maintenance instructions (by-pass filter) (See drawing 1-25238)

Take the by-pass filter out of operation before carrying out maintenance work
on it!

To remove the screen insert, proceed as follows:

Slacken venting screw (item 132) of the cover retaining arrangement,

and in this way check that the filter housing is not pressurised.

Unscrew the venting screw until the cover panel (item 135) over the
concealed cover screws (item 123) can be swivelled.

Remove cover (item 106) after slackening the cover screws and pull
screen insert out of the filter housing.

Clean screen insert with suitable solvents (see KV349) and then blow through
with compressed air from the outside to the inside.

Check seals and replace any damaged seals.

Assemble filter in the reverse order and prepare by-pass filter for
operation as described in the section "Starting-up".

Description:

The purpose of this device is the measurement, and visual indication of the difference in pressure between two
points, and the establishment of an electrical contact when the pressure differential attains specified figure.

Method of operation

A plunger sealed by diaphragm separates the space under pressure int two chambers. A pre-loaded spring
causes the plunger to take up its zero position when pressure difference delta P is zero. As the pressure
difference increases(delta P >0), the plunger is forced to miove against the spring. At the same time, an indicator
disc is moved magnetically, and therefore virtually without friction, and the two reed contacts are actuated.
The red segment of the indicator disc is visible over a pressure range equal to 20%-100% delta P. The firast
reed contact is actuated at 75% delta P, and the second at 100% delta P

Differential pressure contact indicator.

functional properties after is has returned to normal temperature.

29.5.2 Range of applications

BOLL CLEAN 2000 is suitable for cleaning and degreasing metals, plastics, firmly ^
adhering paint finishes and similar surfaces. It removes oil, wax, grease, soot and a large
of number of other deposits.

BOLL CLEAN 2000 is used in the car industry, in shipping, in the oil industry (for drilling
equipment), in the food and beverages industries, in the metal-working industry, in
reconditioning and mechanical engineering workshops, for diesel and electric locomotives,
for cleaning generators in power stations, and for many other purposes.

29.5.3 Heavy fuel oil sludged meshes

Have to be soaked in a standard solvent. After soaking, the filter elements are cleaned by
using the BOLL & KIRCH Cleaning Unit Type 5.04 in connection with BOLL CLEAN 2000.

29.6 Instructions for use

The use of BOLL CLEAN 2000 is not tied to any specific cleaning method. BOLL CLEAN
2000 can be used in a dip bath, a spraying system or a steam cleaner, or it can be applied
manually with a cloth, a brush or a sponge. It can be used cold or warm.

BOLL CLEAN 2000 can be mixed with water including seawater.

Concentration for cleaning filter mesh: 1:2,5 Temperature: up to 60 degree C max.

The concentration depends on the nature and the thickness of the deposits to be removed.
When used in concentrations from 1:30 onwards, no subsequent rinsing is required. No

Problems In heavy fuel oil systems of marine diesel engines and measures for
improvement.

Today's heavy fuels are produced by blending distillates with residual oils from the cat-
cracking and visbreaking processes. These fuels themselves increasingly bring about
problems in the fuel booster systems of diesel engines.

Apart from gas formation, which leads to faults in the injection system, macromolecular
hydrocarbons (the so-called asphaltolenes) are deposited on rotors, in viscomats and on
fine filter-meshes.

Particularly in automatic filters, where heavy fuel must pass through very fine filter-
elements to protect the injection pumps, the micronic CrNi-steel filter-meshes can
ultimately become clogged despite frequent and intensive self-cleaning by back- flushing.

The solids deposited on the filter-meshes and on the clean side consist largely of
hydrocarbons. These cannot be removed by any of the commercially available solvents
and even attempts at ultrasonic cleaning allied to well-proven chemicals are often no more
successful.

Thorough investigations carried out by BOLL & KIRCH Filterbau in co-operation with the
Research Institute Bergbauforschung GmbH at Essen in West-Germany, have shown that
this phenomenon occurs mainly with aromatic heavy oils, originating from the cat-cracker
or visbreaker processes and therefore particularly rich in unsaturated carbon atoms.

The comulative effect of oxygen, water, the shear-forces acting on the oil, all allied to
temperatures ranging from 110°C to 150°C, causes crystalline liquids to form in the heavy
fuel, which combine as macromolecular - i.e. carbon-rich - molecular chains, resulting in
sticky deposits and consequent risk of clogged filter-elements as described.

MARIN
Studies undertaken onboard ships have revealed a significantly increased proportion of
E
quinoline-insoluble solids in the heavy fuels of the booster system.

Oil companies have left no doubt that an improvement in quality of heavy fuel oil is not to
be expected.

Engine-builders and their licensees are already aware that changes in their systems must
be introduced to cope with present-day conditions. Some have already changed their
booster system from pressure-free mixing tube operation to running at a pressure of 4
bars. This prevents evaporation both of the volatile components and water and eliminates
complications in the injection system.

The reduction of the overcapacity of the fuel booster-pump to the value needed for filling
the injection pump itself has a positive effect on the fuel. The formation of macromolecular
hydrocarbons (asphaltolenes) is reduced, which in turn is beneficial throughout the booster
system.

BOLL & KIRCH have developed their filters to accommodate fuel oil system adaptations
necessary in handling today's fuels.

1 .Large filtration free-areas combined with a preset timing of self-cleaning intervals,

largely prevent over-loading of the filtermeshes with asphaltenes, and avoids 'clogging'.
The preset timing of BOLL automatic fuel filters works in parallel with -but will not over-ride
- the filter's own BOLL Differential-Pressure Indicator. When contamination of the filter-
meshes, by increased differential-pressure initiates back- flushing -in such circumstances
the Differential-Pressure Indicator will over-ride the preset timing but it free to continue its
timed cycle undisturbed.

2.To meet heavy fuel flow rate requirements and relevant filtration specifications,
BOLL can offer various types of automatic filters. Some of these utilise compressed air for
self-cleaning purposes; on this type of filter especially, BOLL's new developments have
considerably reduced the fuel quantities required per each backfiush and this makes
possible a reduction in the size of the fuel feeder- and circulating pumps. 'W'
BOLL automatic filters can still be incorporated in the engine's fuel oil booster system.

Where the mixing tube is run under pressure, a feeder system with pump becomes
necessary between the daily supply tank and the mixing tube. The BOLL automatic filter
may then be installed in the feeder system upstream of the fuel meter, provided that the at-
filter working viscosity does not exceed 120 mPas.

The BOLL duplex discharge filter installed directly upstream of the injection pump has the
safety function of keeping those solids, which can become detached, from pipework,
preheaters, etc., safely away from the injection system. This filter should be as coarse as
possible and have large filtration areas.

Many heavy fuel installations nowadays create problems because when originally fitted
they did not embody the improvements mentioned in the foregoing: but above all because
design of the separators then installed disallowed subsequent development to meet the
demands of today's heavy fuels; or are not now operated to achieve optimum efficiency.

Apart from the asphaltenes produced in the booster system, the solids, which have not
been removed by the separators, very often cause excessive dirt-loading on the fuel filters
and this results in unduly short self-cleaning intervals, or of change-over times in the case
of manual filters.

Retrofitting of a BOLL Filtrator installed downstream and in services with the separator(s)
results in a two-stage process, at once involving both separation and filtration. By this
means, all harmful solids are removed together with water, and the problems in the booster
system are solved.

An additional benefit is a great reduction of wear-rates on cylinderliners and piston rings.
