FAM Description
The FluidAqua Mobil was developed for the dewatering, filtration and degassing of
hydraulic and lubricating oils. It removes free water, emulsified water and a large
percentage of the water to be found in solution. The integrated fluid filter ensures an
efficient separation of solid particles.
The drying and degassing of the medium is achieved by the neg. pressure in the
vacuum column.
Compared to the stationary version of the unit, the mobile version features:
- 2 casters, 2 bock rolls
- Suction hose, L= 5 m
- Return hose , L= 5 m
- Connector cable 10m with CEE plug
- Hose retainer

Technical Specifications
The FAM is able to dewater authorized fluids down to a water content of less than
100 ppm and transformer oils down to less than 10 ppm.
As an approximate guideline, the dimensioning of the FluidAqua Mobil can be
defined in accordance with the tank volume.
Tank volume in liters Filter Size
< 1,500 FAM 5
1,000 – 7,000 FAM 10/15
7,000 – 15,000 FAM 25
15,000 – 25,000 FAM 45
25,000 – 35,000 FAM 60
35,000 – 45,000 FAM 75
> 45,000 FAM 95
Generally speaking, however, it must be taken into account that the design depends
on the application, the fluid and the ambient temperature, the fluid amount and the
water input into the system.
These exercise a great influence over the dewatering performance. It is for that
reason that the specifications can serve only as a starting point.
The dewatering performance is dependent upon:
Dewatering
performance
Water content
Fluid temperature
Detergent additives

Connect up the power unit in bypass flow with the tank that is to be cleaned.
After the unit is switched on, the filling pump (3) begins to convey the fluid from the
tank through the suction filter (1) into the vacuum column (5). The vacuum pump
(16) sets up the negative pressure in the vacuum column (5) required for dewatering
and degassing.
The negative pressure is regulated by the negative pressure setting (14),
continuously measured at the negative pressure sensor (15) and displayed on the
SIMATIC operating panel in the control cabinet.
The fluid percolates downwards in the vacuum column over a special tower packing
and collects in the lower area. After reaching the Max level [02], the evacuation
pump (7) switches on and now permanently conveys the fluid out through the fine
filter (9) to the outlet.
As a result of the greater volume flow of the evacuation pump, the filling level in the
vacuum column drops down to the Min level [01]. Once this is reached, the return
valve (2/2 -way solenoid valve) (26) opens and a partial volume flow is returned into
the vacuum column. The return valve (2/2-way solenoid valve) (26) closes once
again after the Max level [02] has been reached.
Air is drawn in through the air filter (13) as a result of the negative pressure in the
vacuum column (5). In the counter flow, this air absorbs the moisture of the fluid and
is then drawn off by the vacuum pump (16) through an oil mist separator (17).
The saturation level of the sucked in fluid is measured continuously by the built-in
AquaSensor (2) and displayed on the SIMATIC panel. The saturation level indicates
what percent of maximum possible water is dissolved in the oil. A value of 0% would
indicate water-free oil and 100% would mean oil that is completely saturated with
water. It is possible to use the saturation level to control the power unit.
All of the functions on the SIMATIC panel can be selected, except for the regulation
of the vacuum pressure. The electrical control of the Siemens S7 series monitors
the functioning of the unit. Malfunction and error messages are displayed in plain
text in the correspondingly available national language. All E-STOP messages will
lead to a direct switch-off of the unit.
After the FAM is shut down using the control panel, the filling pump and the rotary
vane vacuum pump - together with its switching conveyor pump when a CS is
present - are also switched off.
Exception: If the heater is switched on, then a cooling phase of 60 seconds will
intervene during which the heater is first shut off. Afterwards, all of the pumps will be
switched off, except for the evacuation pump.
The evacuation pump runs until the "Min" fill level in the vacuum column is reached.
The run-down phase status is shown in the display
If the fill level "Min" in the vacuum column is reached, the power unit will be switched
off.
If less water is harvested than is consumed by the vacuum pump, it then the missing
amounts of water are automatically topped up either manually or via the automatic
water connection.
The water level is monitored by the integrated float switch of the water ring vacuum
pump.
CAUTION
Rotary vane vacuum pump
Hazardous to health
Air coming out of the rotary vane vacuum pump can contain particles of vacuum
pump oil and/or the fluid.
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.
Connection overview
The stationary and mobile FAM versions have different scopes of delivery. The
stationary FAM has positions 1-4, while the mobile FAM has positions 5-8.
NOTICE
Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT
Risk of malfunctions
Make sure that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping is 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 as few threaded
connections as possible. Connect all connectors to the FAM without initial stress.
The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM
fluid surface in the tank port (aspiration height P(height)) and the line losses
( P(line)).
If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar - P(height) - P(line)
If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar + P(height) - P(line)
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.
NOTICE
Severe contamination
NOTICE
► Check to be sure that all of the locking fixtures at the outlet are in "open"
position each time before start-up.
To prevent air from entering the medium, make sure that the pressure
hose with lance is always below the oil level in operation.
NOTICE
► The water ring vacuum pump requires water as its operating medium.
► Check the water level before star-up, topping up the water if necessary.
► Fill the water ring vacuum pump with clean tap water.
If no vacuum forms after switching on the FAM, the intake connection [N1.0] should
be filled with an additional 2-3 liters of water. To do this, release the transparent
suction hose from the support and fill in the water. Re-attach the hose afterwards.
During operation, the water filling level is monitored automatically by means of a
level switch built into the vacuum pump. A corresponding message will be outputted
on the display when the filling level reaches the MIN switch point.
With this version, the vacuum pump is filled automatically after the FAM is switched
on.
Check the downstream pressure after the back-flushing filter in accordance with the
instructions on page 96.
NOTICE
► The rotary vane vacuum pump requires oil as its operating medium.
► Check the oil level before start-up, topping up with vacuum pump oil VE101
if necessary.
The maximum filling amount for vacuum pump oil VE101 is:
FAM 25 ~ 0.3 liters
FAM 45-95 ~ 1.0 liters
The water level is monitored automatically by the integrated float switch while the
FAM is in operation. A message will appear on the control panel when the MIN MAX
filling level has been reached.
Synthetic vacuum pump oil in accordance with DIN 51506, Group VDL, ISO VG100
must be used for topping up.
The vacuum pump oil can be ordered from HYDAC:

DANGER
Exposed electrical components in the switch
cabinet
The electrical connection of units without connection plugs to the power supply
module may only be performed by a technician with corresponding knowledge and
skills.
Make sure that the voltage and frequency specifications on the FAM type label
correspond to the existing mains voltage.
If a plug is present on the FAM or if a plug is mounted, then the FAM is to be
operated from a correspondingly fused socket.
NOTICE
► A rotation direction arrow on the fan cover of the motor identifies the correct
direction of rotation.
Make sure there is a clockwise rotating field. If this is not the case, then the phases
can be rotated in the 16A / 32 A connection plug with the aid of the phase changing
switch in the plug. For the 63A version, the two phases must be switched on the
terminal block S0 (e.g. L1 and L2).
A phase sequence relay checks the correct phase sequence after switch-on. In the
event of an incorrect phase sequence, error message no. 29 is shown on the control
panel.

Press the START key. The FAM begins with the starting phase.
The power unit control switches to the RF+D menu.
The vacuum pump starts up, the filling pump conveys and the vacuum
column is filled.
Set the required negative pressure in the vacuum column. See page 54.
The evacuation pump is switched on and the starting period is finished when
the vacuum chamber is filled to the MAX filling level.
The FAM controller switches over to automatic operation.
Bleed the filter housing as described on page 56.
With a lower pressure (such as 250 mbar), you achieve an lower residual water
content. With a higher pressure (such as 500 mbar), you achieve a faster
dewatering, especially with free water.
By closing the vacuum gauge (D) you reduce the absolute pressure and the
required air-flow rate for dewatering the fluid.
If the vacuum gauge is completely closed, dewatering takes place exclusively with
the air released in the fluid. The dewatering speed is then reduced to a minimum.
We recommend relative saturation (relative moisture) for water contents > 100%.
With free water this means starting with higher pressure (such as 500 mbar), and
reducing the pressure (to 250 mbar, for example) only after the level has fallen
below the saturation point (<100%).
Some oils foam intensively when they enter the vacuum chamber. This effect is
particularly pronounced with high water contents. This effect is also to be observed
with older oils or extremely high-viscosity media.
If too much foam is caused, it is drawn in by the vacuum pump. Increase the
vacuum in such cases, e.g. from 250 mbar to 350 mbar.
Water condensation can also occur in the connecting hose between the vacuum
pump and the vacuum column in the presence of a very high water content in the
oil. The water is separated out into the vacuum pump storage container. Raise the
vacuum to 500 mbar in such cases.
WARNING
Hot fluid
Danger of burns
NOTICE
► Bleed the fluid filter after each shut-down / filter element replacement.
The fluid filter is to be bled through the bleed port (A) in the cover until fluid
emerges. Use an Allen key wrench to carefully open the ventilation plug (A) in the
cover for this purpose.
It is not necessary to unscrew the ventilation plug (A) completely out – it contains
air-vent slits.

Replacing the air de-oiling element of the vacuum pump (FAM 45-95)
Oil mist or increased electricity consumption by the drive engine (response of the
engine protection switch) are signs of a soiled air de-oiling element.
To replace the air de-oiling element, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the 4 attachment screws of the ventilation cover (10).
2. Undo the leaf spring safety screw (15).
3. Remove the leaf spring (15).
4. Remove the air de-oiling element (9) and replace it with a new element.
5. Replace the ventilation cover seal (10).
6. The suction strainer is re-mounted in reverse order.
The air de-oiling element becomes saturated with oil during operation.
A slight lowering of the oil filling level after the air de-oiling element
has been replaced is therefore quite normal.
WARNING

Switch on the FAM at the main switch to
accomplish this.
During the check, hold the level sensor the
same as in the installation position. This means
that the plug is directed downward.
Afterwards, slide the lower float on the level
sensor up and down by hand.
Attach the plug for verification. See the
"Switching status" illustration on page 115. in
this connection.
If the upper float is slid upward, then the fault
message "Vacuum column overflow. Please

A filter element is used to retain the oil mist and the oil in the oil mist separator and
the oil is collected in the separator pot, where it is continuously suctioned off and
returned to the vacuum column.
The filter element (for part-no., see replacement parts list) is to be replaced on a
regular basis in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
The clogging indicator (3) of the oil mist separator is not functioning.

NOTICE
Switch off the FAM at the main switch before opening the control cabinet
door
► Do not open the control cabinet door if the main switch is not in OFF
position.
If an error occurs, the FAM goes into the status "Fault". This halts all functions. The
fault indicator lamp flashes.
To start the FAM, you must correct the error and acknowledge the error message on
the control panel.
An exception is the message "F2 fuse tripped", for which the indicator lamp does not
flash, the FAM will be switched off and the error message appears on the display.
The fault messages are displayed only in the following screens:
Start screen
RH+P (Relative Humidity + Pressure)

If a fault message is not shown in its entirety, then (...) will appear at the end of the
line on the display. The message can be displayed in its entirety with the help of the
INS
key.
The fault messages that are relevant to the ContaminationSensor will only be
displayed on the "Cont" screen.
An exception is the message "CS1xxx + CS-Zuförderp. Abgeschal. CS1xxxStörung.
Start 10 new attempts with Reset." This message will be displayed on all screens.
The operator can switch into the different menus and operate a component in the
Manual menu necessary for the elimination of the fault.
No error messages are displayed in the Manual menu.
If several errors occur, then the most recently occurring message will be displayed

2. Actuate ESC key and reset failure with the F3 key.
3. The measurement starts once again; automatic mode is not
interrupted.
2. Flow at FAM inlet has been too low for 5 minutes. Check the FAM inlet.
Cause: This error can only arise in the starting phase of the FAM,
because it is only during this phase that the corresponding
timer is running. The message appears if the MAX switch
point in the vacuum column is not achieved after 5 minutes
have elapsed.
If this error arises at the time of the first start-up or after
repairs have been made, then it is advisable to fill the filling
pump in advance with ~ ¼ l of oil. To accomplish this, remove
the plug on the AS and then remove the AS by unscrewing it.
The oil is filled in through this opening. The AS and the plug
are mounted once again afterwards in order to restart the
FAM.

Cause: Error-free measurement of contamination is not possible with a
water content ≥90%. The charge pump of the CS is switched
off.
If you selected an operating mode for which the CS controls
the FAM, then the FAM will automatically jump into a similar
operating mode without control by the CS.
