Objective

The objective of this Service Bulletin is to highlight to all Projects and Depots the recent
changes in design to the Racor filter assemblies used within our fleet and the impact it
may have on your operations.

Product History

For many years we have used the 1000FG unit below (left) in all our nodes above 320kva
in various configurations.

Racor discontinued this unit in December 2004.

In January 2005, we introduced the 1000FH unit below (right) in all containerized nodes.

Design Changes by Baldwin Filters

As Baldwin is our world wide supplier of filters in response to the above model change
they cut in the PF7790-30 replaceable element to accommodate the design changes that
Racor had made with the introduction of the FH unit.

With the introduction of this element incorporating the added features of the FH unit we
have had full cross compatibility between the FG and the FH range of filter assemblies
until recently….

As we have No Cut in Date or Plant Number for the introduction of this Design Change
we thought it was best to highlight this issue to you as early as possible and explain the
changes as best we could.

Operational issues and considerations

The issue will be relevant to three nodes of machine, the 500kva Scania, 800kva Cummins
QST30 and 1250kva Cummins KTA-50-G3.

Racor have not changed the part no of there Standard fitted element so the only time you
will know you have a problem is when you go to change the filters….

The picture above shows the difference between the three elements (Left to Right):

1. The New PF7890-30 Element.

2. The STD fitment 100 micron washable Racor element
3. And the discontinued PF7790-30 Element.

The above mentioned 100micron Racor element could be cleaned and if need be refitted
until you receive the correct elements.

All orders placed on Baldwin for PF7790-30 will automatically be replaced with PF7890-30

All orders placed on Jebel Ali will have to be monitored and corrected by the amount of
Post 01-2005 machines you have in your fleet.
