What is Aquabloc 3D?

AquablocTM 3D uses three distinct media stages. Stage 1 actively removes impurities, Stage 2 will coalesce or

grow large water droplets from emulsified water in the fuel, before a final barrier stage prevents re-entrainment

of the water. AquablocTM 3D is Parker’s newest coalescer media, designed as an upgrade which should be

offered in preference to Parker’s existing coalescers for the FBO Series. The new grade of media enables a

coalescer element to be used in poor quality fuels, where only an absorber had previously been applied.

How does it work?

Stage 1: The fuel encounters a high capacity

synthetic pleated particle filtration media. This

unique pleated design maximizes the surface area,

ensuring consistent flow, and delivering exceptional

particle retention efficiency. As the fuel passes

through the pleat pack, larger unwanted particles

are removed.

Stage 2: Fuel passes through multiple wrapped layers of treated

depth coalescing media. Here, the partially-filtered fuel interacts

with the multi-density coalescer, effectively growing water

droplets of >200 micron from emulsified droplets of <5 microns.

These large droplets then fall to a collection bowl separating the

majority of the emulsified water from the fuel.

Stage 3: Finally, before the fuel leaves the filter, there is a central

hydrophobic woven mesh cartridge which prevents any of the

now large droplets from exiting the filter and entering into the fuel

system
