ALTERNATIVE FUEL FILTRATION
High-Efficiency Filtration for CNG, LNG & LPG Systems

Product Range:

Racor’s Alternative Fuel Filtration Systems are specifically engineered to meet the demands of today’s clean energy vehicles using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), and Liquid Propane Gas (LPG). These fuels face the same contamination challenges as diesel and gasoline—particulates, water condensation, and oil intrusion from compressors—all of which can compromise engine performance and safety.

To address these challenges, Racor developed the industry’s first and most complete line of high-performance alternative fuel filters and coalescers designed to operate under the high pressures required by modern CNG systems.


FFC Series Coalescing Filters
  • Designed to protect critical engine components in CNG, LNG, and LPG-powered vehicles

  • Filters out contaminants introduced during refueling or from storage and compression equipment

  • Grade 6 coalescing filter removes 99.97% of oil, water, and solid aerosols in the 0.3 to 0.6 micron range

  • Patented micro-glass fiber construction arranged in a tubular format for maximum efficiency


How It Works:

Fuel enters through the inside of the cartridge and passes through the coalescing media to the outer surface.

  • Oil and water droplets are separated and collect at the bottom of the housing

  • Solid particles are trapped within the fiber surfaces

  • Contaminants are safely removed through periodic draining

This advanced filtration ensures clean fuel delivery, reduced maintenance costs, and long-term protection of precision engine components in alternative fuel systems.

CRANKCASE FILTRATION
Cleaner Engines, Better Performance, and a Greener Environment

Crankcase emissions pose a significant challenge for diesel engine owners and the environment. These emissions originate when combustion gases leak past piston rings and enter the crankcase. Inside, they mix with oil mist, water, and fuel vapors, which are then vented through the breather into the engine compartment or released into the atmosphere.

This oil mist settles on engine components like radiator cores and air filters, attracting dust and debris—leading to reduced performance, increased wear, and higher maintenance costs.


The Racor RankVent Solution

Racor’s RankVent Crankcase Emission Filtration Systems offer a high-efficiency solution for managing these emissions. Designed to meet the needs of both OEMs and end-users, RankVent systems deliver:

  • Cleaner engine compartments and components

  • Protection for engine intake and air filters

  • Improved reliability and reduced maintenance

  • Lower oil consumption

  • Effective reduction of smoke and odors

  • “Green” element that is burnable and crushable

  • Superior efficiency compared to other systems on the market


Trusted by Industry Leaders

Racor crankcase filtration systems are installed as original equipment by major manufacturers around the world—helping reduce environmental impact and extending the life of diesel engines.

HEATER SYSTEMS
Reliable Fuel Heating for Cold Starts and Efficient Combustion
Application

Diesel Fuel Heater Systems are essential for cold-weather operation. These systems apply heat to fuel coming from the tank, allowing it to flow smoothly towards the primary fuel filter/water separator. By ensuring proper fuel flow, heater systems prevent filter clogging and maintain engine reliability in low temperatures.


Why Heat the Fuel?

When diesel fuel is exposed to cold temperatures, paraffin wax and ice crystals can form, leading to filter blockage and performance issues. Heating the fuel:

  • Dissolves wax and ice

  • Improves water separation efficiency

  • Prevents filter plugging

  • Ensures smoother engine start-up and operation


Biodiesel Compatibility

Biodiesel, commonly blended as B2, B5, or B20, is derived from vegetable oils processed into Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME). These blends tend to thicken at lower temperatures, especially if unrefined oils or greases are used.

Fuel heaters are particularly important for biodiesel use, helping to:

  • Reduce viscosity

  • Improve combustion

  • Enable filtration and flow in cold climates

  • Support engines running on alternative biofuels


Heater Types Available
  1. Electric Heated Systems

    • Powered by vehicle’s electrical system

    • Ideal for quick, on-demand heating

  2. Coolant Heated Systems

    • Use engine coolant to transfer heat to the fuel

    • Efficient and consistent heating during engine operation

Offline / Portable Filtration Solutions
Efficient Fluid Conditioning and Contamination Prevention

Whatever your filtration needs are, Parker offers the right offline or portable filtration solution. Whether you’re introducing new fluid into a hydraulic system or cleaning existing fluid, Parker has the tools to ensure optimal performance.


GUARDIAN SERIES

Portable Filtration for Fluid Conditioning and Contamination Control

The Guardian Portable Filtration System is a unique combination of pump, motor, and filter, designed to condition and transfer petroleum-based and water-emulsion fluids. This system safeguards your hydraulic system by filtering out contaminants that new fluids may carry, as fresh fluids often contain impurities right from the drum.

During processing, mixing, handling, and storage, new fluids can pick up contamination. The Guardian system not only prevents this but also circulates and polishes the fluid in your system, bringing contamination levels down to acceptable standards.

The Guardian is versatile, serving hundreds of applications, with more being discovered regularly. If your system is sensitive to contamination, the Guardian could be the ideal solution for you.

PVS SERIES
Advanced Oil Purification for Contamination Removal

The Parker Portable Purification System (PVS) uses a vacuum of 25 In/Hg to draw contaminated oil into the system. The oil then flows through an in-line low watt density heater, where it is heated to an optimal temperature of 150° F (66°C).

Next, the heated oil enters the distillation column, where it is exposed to the vacuum through special dispersal elements. This process increases the oil’s surface area, converting water into vapor, which is drawn through the condenser by the vacuum pump.

The water-free oil settles at the bottom of the column and is removed by a heavy-duty lube oil pump. This pump pushes the clean, dry oil through a final particulate removal filter. The purified oil is then sent back to the reservoir and reintroduced into the system.
