FAM description
The FluidAqua FAM was developed for the dewatering, filtration and
degassing of hydraulic and lubricating oils. It removes free water, emulsified
water and a large proportion of the water in solution. The Fluidfilter that is
installed provides efficient particulate separation.
The fluid is degassed through a vacuum in the vacuum chamber.
FAM Versions
FAM features
The FAM is able to reduce fluids described in the chapter "Suitable fluids"
typically to the following attainable residual water contents:
Hydraulic and lubrication oils <100 ppm
Turbine oil (ISO VG32/46) < 50 ppm
Transformer oil (unit is not suitable for "Online" and <10 ppm
"Onload" operation on transformer)
The typical dewatering rate is up to 0.8l/h at 1% (10,000 ppm) water content
(ISO VG32, 50°C).
Dewatering performance/Dewatering speed depends in particular on the oil
type, oil temperature, oil quantity, tank condition, water content and the
environmental conditions and can differ considerably from the indicated
values depending on use.
The dewatering speed is dependent on:
Dewatering speed
Water content
Fluid temperature
Detergent additives

Description
Filter to OFF: The operating medium is constantly filtered.
ON: The operating medium is filtered until the
ContaminationSensor CS1000 reaches the configured limit.
The FAM then switches off.
The test interval (see page 52) now starts the time until the
FAM switches back on. Once this elapses, the FAM
automatically switches back on and runs for a specified
minimum test duration (see page 52). If the limit is
exceeded after this time, the FAM will continue to run until
the limit for switch-off is reached once again. The FAM
switches off again and the test interval runs once more.
If Dewater until is also activated, both limits must be
reached before switch-off.
Limits on ContaminationSensor CS
The limits for the "Filter until" operating mode are configured directly on the
ContaminationSensor CS display.
The FAM is controlled by switching output SP1.
• Switching output SP1 conductive (active) = Target cleanliness not
reached, CS in first measurement cycle
• Switching output SP1 open (inactive) = Target cleanliness reached
Measuring mode M2 is set to switching function "BELOW" for this purpose.
• Switch-off limit: "LOWER", e.g., ISO 18/17/12
• Switch-on limit: "UPPER", e.g., ISO 20/19/14
NOTICE
The limit for switch-on, "UPPER", must be at least one class higher than the
limit for switch-off (LOWER) for each particle size class.

Performing maintenance
If the vacuum pump has an active carbon filter cartridge at the air inlet, it
should be replaced every six months.
The active carbon filter cartridge absorbs oil vapors and odors from the
exhaust air. Replace the active carbon filter cartridge sooner if exhaust air
quality has noticeably worsened.
To replace the active carbon filter cartridge, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the active carbon filter cartridge by hand counterclockwise to remove
it from the rotary vane vacuum pump nozzle.
2. Turn the new active carbon filter cartridge by hand clockwise onto the
rotary vane vacuum pump nozzle.
