Visco Booster Unit

Product Photo

As fuel oils vary a lot and are unstable many problems can occur with heavy fuel oil in particular because its viscosity does not meet the demands of the diesel engines used. On top of that its operating temperature and pressure should also correspond as precisely as possible to the specifications of the engine manufacturer.

For this reason GEA Westfalia has developed the GEA Visco Booster Unit (VBU), which conditions the different fuels perfectly for the diesel engine.

In brief the VBU is installed between the fuel oil tank and the engine to be supplied. A fully automatic control allows the viscosity, temperature and pressure of the oil to be adapted exactly to the specifications of the engine manufacturer. As a result, different qualities of oil no longer have a negative impact on the engine. Regardless of what oil is used as a fuel, the engine always runs smoothly because the VBU conditions the fuel to make it compatible with the engine.

Of tremendous importance to highlight that GEA Westfalia uses ONLY reputable European makers for all used main parts such as i.e. KRAl fro pumps, Krohne for viscosity meter, Boll and Kirch for filters , Ari for various valves etc
