Technical Specifications
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
Volumetric flow of the FAM

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.
Power unit with water ring vacuum pump

With a special cooling system the air is cooled and partially dried within the water
ring vacuum pump. The resulting condensed water is fed to the operating water
using the water-operated vacuum pump.If more water is harvested than is
consumed by the vacuum pump (evaporates), then the excess water is drained
through the overflow valve into the condensate canister.
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.
Power unit with rotary vane vacuum pump

For versions with rotary vane vacuum pump, the water that is absorbed as water
vapor is expelled from the vacuum pump.

Possible Applications of the FAM
Possible Applications of the FAM
Cleaning in Bypass Flow

The FAM is connected with suction and pressure lines to the tank and cleans the
medium to be found in it in constant bypass flow.
Purifying and transferring by pumping

The FAM is connected to the contaminated oil tank with the suction hose and
pumps the fluid into the tank for the purified oil while cleaning it at the same time.
(A) = Waste oil tank

(B) = Pure oil tank
The fill level of clean-oil tank is to be monitored constantly during this process to
prevent overfilling.
You achieve permanently better levels of purity by operating the system
continuously in bypass flow.

Notes on pipes and hoses
NOTICE
Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT
Risk of malfunctions
► Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the

prescribed values.
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)
Determine the pressure loss  P(height) as follows:  P(height)[bar] = h/10.

h stands here for the distance between the suction connection on the FAM and the
fluid surface in the tank.
FAM 25/45/60/75/95 en(us) Page 41/160

BEWA FAM25-95 3402054f en(us) 2013-06-13 2013-06-13
The pressure differential in a hydraulic line (  P(line)) depends on the following:

 Flow rate
 Kinematic viscosity
 Pipe dimensions
 fluid density
The pressure loss in straight pipes (  P(line)) can be calculated as follows:
4
∆p ~ 6,8 * L / d * Q * V * D
∆p = Pressure differential in [bar]
L = pipe length [m]

d = internal pipe diameter [mm]
Q = Flow rate [l/min]
V = Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]
D = Density [kg/dm³] Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid has a density
of ~ 0.9 kg/dm³.
The density (D) for the following is:

Mineral hydraulic oil HLP 0.85 … 0.90 kg / dm³
Phosphate ester HFDR 1.00 … 1.10 kg / dm³
Insulating oil 0.90 … 1.00 kg / dm³
Lubrication oil 0.90 … 0.95 kg / dm³
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.

BEWA FAM25-95 3402054f en(us) 2013-06-13 2013-06-13
Connecting the inlet (IN)

The suction pressure at the FAM inlet must be in the range of -0.2 … 1 bar.
Use a negative pressure-resistant, flexible hose or a pipe for the suction-side
connection.
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. For the cross-section of the
connection line, use at least DN50 on FAM 75 and 95.
The shape of the tank connection should be set up in such a way that it will always
be lower than the level of the oil in the tank.
NOTICE
Severe contamination
► Do not prime directly at the bottom of the tank.
► Do not prime in the sump.
► Never prime without a built-in suction screen.

The greatest contamination is found on the bottom of the tank. All
impurities and other particles are deposited on the bottom of the tank.
Connect outlet (OUT)

Take care to ensure that the maximum pressure of 2 bar is not exceeded at the
outlet.
NOTICE
OUT connection closed off
► 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.

Electrical Connection of the FAM
DANGER
Exposed electrical components in the switch
cabinet
Danger of fatal injury due to electric shock
► Any work involving the electrical system may

only be done by a properly trained, certified
electrician.
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.

Checking direction of rotation

Check the direction of rotation of the motor by switching it on briefly (jog mode).
The FAM requires a clockwise rotating field at the connecting socket.
NOTICE
Incorrect phase sequence / rotation direction of the motor
The pumps will be destroyed.
► In jog mode, check the direction of rotation of the motors.
► 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.

Select an operating mode with heater in the presence of viscosities
≥350 mm²/s.
It is not mandatory that the heater be switched on in the presence of
lower viscosities, but it would contribute decisively to the enhancement
of dewatering performance.

Pressure in the vacuum column

Use the vacuum gauge (D) to set the

pressure in the vacuum column.
Note that the pressure to be set in the
vacuum column is dependent on the
operating viscosity and the water
content.
Medium Operating viscosity Pressure setting (absolute pressure)

Hydraulic oil 50 mm2/s ~ 350 mbar
Lubrication oil 300 mm2/s ~ 500 mbar

Starting up the FAM
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.

Operating mode - Dewater to / Filter to

The operating mode "Filter to" is possible only up to a relative humidity of 90%. The
CS is switched off in situations involving >90% or unmanaged water.
The following message is output when the contamination menu is selected:
"Oil saturation >90%. Measurement with CS not possible!"
You can switch off this display by pressing the ESC key, so that you can exit the
screen again by selecting Menu1.
If a water saturation level of ≥90% occurs during automatic operation, then the
operating mode switches automatically in accordance with the following table:
Selected operating mode: changes automatically after:
FTT => FT
EW+FTB => DW+FT
EW+H+FTB => EW+H+FT

The limit values for "Dewater to" are to be set in the RH+P screen, the limit values
for "Filter to" in the CONT. screen.
Once the limit values have been reached, the FAM stops automatically. After the set
test interval has expired, the FAM starts automatically. If the measured values still
fall below the set limit value after 2 minutes, the the FAM will switch off automatically
and the testing interval will start again.

To replace the air de-oiling element, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the ventilation cover (i) from the oil separator (g).
2. Undo the screw in the middle of the filter spring, but do not remove this.
3. Press the filter spring down and rotate it out of the depression.
4. Remove the filter spring from the oil separator (g).
5. Pull the air de-oiling element out of the oil separator (g).
6. Make sure that the new air deoiling element is provided with a new O-ring.
7. Install the air de-oiling element in such a way that the opening is situated
correctly in the holder in the oil separator (g).
8. Ensure that the tip of the screw in the middle of the filter spring protrudes ~ 2–
5 thread turns out of the filter spring.
9. Install the filter spring in such a way that the ends are secured against
slipping by lugs in the receptacles in the oil separator (g) and the tip of the
screw engages in the depression of the air de-oiling element.
10. Tighten the screw in the filter spring until the head of the screw impacts
against the spring steel sheet.
11. Make sure that the seal under the ventilation cover is clean and undamaged.
Replace the seal if necessary.
12. Fasten the ventilation cover (i) with seal and hexagon-head screws to the oil
