Electrical Installation

Units with the part number suffix 220vac are powered by 220-240v 50Hz 1ph AC.

Units with the part number suffix 110vac are powered by 100-115v 60Hz 1ph AC.

Units with the part number suffix 24vdc are powered by 24v DC

Units with the part number suffix 12vdc are powered by 12v DC

Each unit is supplied with a flying lead for mains power connection.

This flying lead should be connected to a user-installed isolating fused spur, using standard EU wiring as follows:

AC power 
Live Brown 
Neutral Blue 
Earth Yellow/Green

Note 110v units can be supplied with US/N.American wiring standard colours on request

DC Power
24v positive Brown
0v Blue

The systems can run autonomously with just the power connection. However, should you require it, the following BMS/Remote connections can also be made.

W-PFS range

BMS output connections

Q2 is a user definable output which can be set to represent any of the internal status messages, e.g. paused, running, service due, etc.
Q3 is a dedicated healthy/ready signal (closed = healthy/ready, open = active service requirement or system paused)
Q5-Q8 These four BMS outputs are used to produce a data word, giving 16 different status messages. These outputs are volt free contact pairs and are to be read together. In other words, all 4 must be connected to accurately read this BMS output.

BMS inputs connections

I7 External run (BMS run signal) Connect the system’s internal 24v DC connection to run
I8 External pause (BMS pause signal) Connect the system’s internal 24v DC connection to pause

 

WB range

BMS output connections

Q4 is the alarm output

BMS inputs connections

A1 External run (BMS run signal) Connect the system’s internal 24v DC connection to run
A2 External pause (BMS pause signal) Connect the system’s internal 24v DC connection to pause

 

 

Please refer to your manual for fuse sizes and power requirements. Contact us if you do not have a copy of your manual 

It is important to regularly service your Fuel Polishing System and ensure any spares are changed to ensure your system is working efficiently.

Automatic Screen and Timer Programming

Note: Please ensure you have set the time and date on the main page before proceeding. S

The programming screen utilises buttons to set the days and weeks to run, plus a start time and duration.

1). Select days to run
First use the buttons for the days of the week (top left) to select which days you would like the system to run. In the above example, Monday to Friday have been selected, Saturday and Sunday have not. Press the day to either select or deselect it; the machine will only run on selected days/weeks.

2). Select weeks to run
Next using the numbered buttons (1-5) top right to choose the weeks of the month to run on. If all are selected, the system will run on every week. In the above example, 1, 3, 4 and 5 are selected, week 2 is not.

3). Choose a start time

Press the start time and a new window pops up. This allows you to enter a start time (24hr clock, 00:00 to 23:59). If an invalid time has been selected, the system will automatically default to the nearest valid time.

4). Choose a run time duration
Next press the duration time, a new window will pop-up. This allows you to select the duration the system will run for. This can be any duration from 00 hrs 01 mins to 99 hrs 59 mins.

 5). Enable or disable the mode
So far, in this example, we have set the system to run Monday to Friday, the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th week of every month, starting at 9am and running for 8 hours (i.e. stopping at 5pm). However, the system will only run in automatic mode if we enable the mode. Press the enable or disable button to suit your requirements

The on screen (?) button brings up a help screen which also gives additional assistance.

Once you have completed your setup, press the HOME button to return to the main screen.

How long and how often to run

Each installation may require a different calculation as to how long you will need to run your system for. However, the following guide should help you to get a good basic setup. Periodic monitoring of the system’s performance, along with 6 monthly fuel sampling, will allow you to adjust your setup should you feel your fuel quality needs to be better managed.

We recommend ensuring your fuel is cleaned every 1 to 2 weeks. That means ensuring your system is running for sufficient time to clean your fuel in that period. A basic calculation can be achieved using the following factors.

• How large is your fuel tank (in litres)?
• What speed does your fuel polishing system run at?

For example, a 25,000 lit fuel tank and a W-PFS-026, which runs at 26 lit/min would use this basic calculation (assuming there are no large lift/head considerations).

To calculate your run time, in hours*

Size of fuel tank (litres) divided by 60 + 20% 25000 /60 +3.2 = 19.2
System flow rate 26

*assumes minimal fuel lift/head and minimal 90-degree pipework bends and other restrictions which may cause a system to slow down. If your system has a limited maximum flow due to external factors, please adjust your cleaning times to match.

In the above example, we have a time of 19.2 hours; approximately 9 hours, 15 minutes.

We want to run the system for that duration, over a 1 week period, so if we divide that time by 7 (days) we could work out a regular run time for daily use. 19.2/7=2.75 hours (2 hours 45 mins).

In other words, in this basic example, if we set our system to run every day, and every week for 2 hours 45 minutes, we would achieve the basic desired setup.

Starting at 9am is not important, indeed the start time can be scheduled to suit the customer’s needs, but it is WASP’s opinion that running for a short period every day is better than running once per week.

If contamination appears in the tank, for example, water from poor venting, or poor fuel delivery, running daily means increasing the likelihood of detection/removal rapidly; whereas running once per week could mean contamination is left in the fuel for a significantly longer time.

Some installations may require longer running, or different schedule times. It is the installer’s and operator’s responsibility to ensure adequate run time has been allocated. WASP also recommends periodic fuel testing to ensure sufficient run time has been allowed. Increase the frequency/run time if it is felt the fuel quality needs to improve.

To help further, we have prepared these timing charts based on the calculations on the previous page. This is a rough guide for running time, assuming minimal lift/head of fuel.

Note
This is the calculated running time per 1 to 2 week period.
For example and as per the chart below, a 10,000 lit tank with a 10 lit/min system would need to run for 20 hours in 1 to 2 weeks.

 

wasp fuel polishing onsite servicingTo ensure the efficient and optimum running of your system, we highly recommend you service and replace some of your system particulars every 12 months.

The primary aim of the filter is to clear any foreign contaminants from the fuel to ensure the fuel is as pure as possible. The filter element (within blue and grey filter) collects the contaminates so it is important these are back washed regularly to clear out the contaminates to avoid blockages. The filters can be back washed up to five times before the element should be replaced. Regardless, the elements should be replaced on an annual basis or if they show any signs of wear and tear.

We also recommend you check the quality of your gaskets every 6 months and replace every 12 -36 months or at first signs of wear and tear.

Separate to the regular service, the system will flag if it requires any servicing or spare parts. This is via its built in automatic monitoring system. 

Your annual service should include:

Grey Filter

  • Element Replacement  (Part required- see table below)
  • Check gasket and replace if required (Part required- see table above)
  • Drain water

Blue Filter

  • Replace element (Part required- see table above)
  • Check gasket and replace if required (Part required- see table above)
  • Drain water

In the event during the service that air gets trapped in the system and the filters and input pipe work is not completely full of fuel, the filters will need to be bled of air and system primed.
