Water Cooled LFCV
Description
This state-of-the-art application is a modified version of the JASC Liquid Fuel Check Valve that incorporates active cooling of the check valve’s external housing. Because the unit is a drop-in replacement for the liquid fuel check valve, no changes to the fuel lines are necessary.
Design Features & Benefits
The cooling medium of water helps to maintain an internal check valve temperature that is below the coking threshold of diesel fuel (approx. 250 °F) while operating in an ambient environment in excess of 500 °F. Successful laboratory tests have been conducted with water temperatures up to 150 °F, water pressure at 40 psig, and as little flow as 1/4GPM flow rate, while still maintaining an internal check valve temperature below the coking threshold.
JASC has found from engine tests that raising the cooling water flow to 1.0 GPM also enhances cooling of the check valve’s liquid fuel inlet and exit line when operating the engine on gaseous fuels for extended periods of time.
