    摘要: A fuel filter includes: a casing having a chamber for collecting water separated from fuel; a water level sensor that extends into the casing and is provided with an electrical water level contact extending into the collection chamber and an intermediate electrical contact arranged inside the casing and outside the collection chamber; and a water separator element having: a filtering element; a filtering element support provided with a through opening crossed by the water level sensor so that the electrical water level contact extends into the collection chamber; and a conductive element provided on the filtering element support and provided with: a water level electrode extending into the collection chamber; and a contact electrode electrically connected with the water level electrode, spaced apart from it and in contact with the intermediate electrical contact of the water level sensor.

    摘要: A discharge control device for a filter system and a filter system for filtering a media flow of a first and a second medium is provided with a collecting chamber that collects the second medium separated from the media flow. A sensor arrangement with a first sensor unit, a second sensor unit, a first shut-off valve having a closure body, and a second shut-off valve is provided. The first sensor unit is operatively connected to the first shut-off valve. The first sensor unit has a float that purely mechanically actuates the closure body of the first shut-off valve. The second shut-off valve is arranged in series in flow communication with the first shut-off valve. The second shut-off valve has an electromagnetically actuatable valve controlled by the second sensor unit as a function of a fill level of second medium in the collecting chamber.

    摘要: A method for dewatering an operating substance, more particularly a fuel, preferably during the operation of a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes conveying an operating substance from an operating substance tank. Water present on or in the fuel is first collected in a water container, and water is conveyed, in chronological order, from the water container back to the operating substance tank, then to an exhaust system and/or from the operating substance tank to the exhaust gas system. A dewatering device for an operating substance, more particularly a fuel for a vehicle, more particularly a rail vehicle, includes a water container, in which water present on or in the fuel is collected. The dewatering device has a dewatering conduit or line which runs from the water container to an operating-substance tank of the vehicle and/or to an exhaust-gas system of the vehicle.
