Unpacking the FAM
Before delivery, the FAM is inspected for leaks and proper functioning at the
factory, then carefully packed for shipment.
When receiving and unpacking the unit, check it for damage in transit.
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner.
Transporting the FAM
Using components for pushing/pulling
The FAM will be damaged
► Never use the components to push or pull the FAM.
Unpacking the FAM
NOTICE
► Use the grips provided for shifting.
Wind the suction and pressure hose and the connection cable around the
holders provided for this purpose and either fasten them in place or remove
the hoses from the FAM.
Move the FAM manually using the rollers. Only ever use the FAMs handle to
move it.
Before shifting the unit, make sure to release the hand brake on the swivel
casters.
Once the FAM is in the new, desired position, actuate the hand brake on the
swivel casters.
Horizontal transport
Completely empty the FAM as well as the rotary vane vacuum pump before
horizontal transport, e.g., in a vehicle, and close off all connections.

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 features
The FAM is able to reduce fluids described in the chapter "Suitable fluids"
typically to the following attainable residual water contents:

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:
FAM description
As an approximate guideline, the dimensioning of the FluidAqua Mobil can be
defined in accordance with the tank volume.
Note that free water, e.g. on the bottom of the tank, can have an influence on
the entire water content in the system and thus on the length of time it takes
to dewater. Drain off free water completely.

Working principle of FAM
Working principle of FAM
After you switch on the FAM, the motor pump assembly (4.0), depending on
the fill level in the vacuum column, starts to suck either from the vacuum
column or the tank via the suction strainer (4.02) or from the vacuum column
and the 3/2 directional valve (3.85).
The flow rate is split up in the flow divider (4.54). One part is transported via
the optional heater (8.0) into the vacuum column (3.0), the other back into the
tank via the fluid filter (6.0).
The vacuum pump (7.0) builds up the negative pressure in the vacuum
column (3.0) required for dewatering and degassing.
The underpressure is set using the needle valve (3.68) and shown in the
pressure gauge on the cover of the vacuum column (3.0).
The fluid percolates downwards in the vacuum column (3.0) over a special
tower packing and collects in the lower area. After reaching the maximum
level (3.38), the 3/2 directional valve (3.85) will switch and the motor pump
assembly (4.0) will start sucking the oil out of vacuum column (3.0).
Air is drawn in through the air filter (3.73) as a result of the negative pressure
in the vacuum column (3.0). This air absorbs the moisture of the fluid and is
then sucked out by the vacuum pump (7.0). The gases removed from the
fluid as well as the water that is absorbed is expelled (as water vapor) from
the vacuum pump.
The saturation level of the aspirated fluid is continuously measured via the
optional AquaSensor (12) and displayed on the control panel. The saturation
level indicates what percent of maximum possible water is dissolved in the

Page 25 / 114
In order to achieve optimum purity results, always operate the
oil. A value of 0% would indicate water-free oil and 100% would mean oil that
is completely saturated with water.
Once the STOP button is pressed, the unit runs until the "Min" fill level in the
vacuum column is reached. The run-down phase status is shown in the
display.
Exception: If the integrated heater is switched on, then a cooling phase of 60
seconds will intervene during which the heater is first shut off.
If the fill level "Min" in the vacuum column is reached, the power unit will be
switched off.
The FAM is voltage-free downstream from the main switch when the FAM is
switched off with the main switch.
Possible applications
Bypass purification
Working principle of FAM
Attach the FAM to the tank which is to be cleaned by means of a suction and
pressure line and switch it on. The permanent bypass purification means you
always get optimum purity results.
Transfer by Pumping
Connect up the FAM to a contaminated oil tank by means of a suction line
and pump the fluid into the clean oil tank via the FAM.
To avoid overfilling the tank (B), permanently monitor the oil level.

CAUTION

Hazardous to health
► Always make sure there is sufficient
ventilation in the surrounding area of the unit.
Observe the following points when setting up the unit:
• Place the unit on a horizontal and level surface.
Special mounting is not required.
• Keep an area of at least 0.8 m around the unit free for maintenance
purposes.
• Mobile version only - Lock the immobilization brakes on the wheels to
avoid unintended movement/rolling away of the unit.
• Position the unit in the immediate vicinity of the tank to be cleaned.
Observe the maximum permitted suction pressure. See page 30.
• Observe the ambient temperature on the name plate of the unit.
• Ensure that the main switch is free and accessible at all times.
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation around the area where the unit is
set up.

Air coming out of the vacuum pump can contain particles of vacuum pump oil

Depending on the composition of the oil and the composition of the gas,
there is a danger of damage to health if the emergent gas is inhaled over an
extended period of time.

► Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the

Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping must be at least as
large as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.
In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use few threaded
connections.
The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between
the suction connection on the FAM and the fluid surface in the tank
(aspiration height ∆P

Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure
differential and must be taken into account.
Keep the height difference between the pump and the oil level in the tank as
small as possible.
Avoid constrictions in the connected hoses. They compromise output and
increase the risk of cavitation.
Make sure that no tension or vibrations are carried over to the pump or filter
housing when the pipes are connected. Use hoses or expansion joints if
necessary.
