For FPT Industrial’s Cursor XC13 engine

UFI Filters has produced a new filtration module supplied to FPT Industrial as original equipment for the new Cursor XC13 engine, a top-of-the-range heavy-duty on-road vehicle powertrain with a displacement of 13 litres and a power output of up to 600 hp.
The new UFI Filters filtration module allows a concentration of technologies that integrate both the filter and the diesel pre-filter in the same component.
UFI says its main innovations include the very high separation performance of water from diesel fuel that reaches up to 96 percent and is achieved by the pre-filter module.
This water can then be discharged separately from the diesel fuel via an automatic system operated from the vehicle’s cab.
The module also uses lightweight materials with an optimised design, which contribute to reducing the weight of the vehicle.
Further, the module is equipped with a thermostatic valve, a non-return valve and two valves to facilitate service operations, developed and manufactured by UFI.
In addition, a suite of high-tech pressure and temperature sensors measure the working conditions of the different circuits.
UFI states this type of module is designed to meet the most extreme requirements. In fact, by ensuring low pressure drops in the diesel circuit, it says it contributes not only to the reduction of fuel consumption, but also to the achievement of maximum performance of the heavy vehicle on a high level.
UFI Filters says its new filtration module is instrumental in reducing the weight of vehicles fitted with the new Cursor XC13, and thus contributes to their sustainability.
In the construction of the module, UFI uses aluminium and technical polymers (such as polyamide) to keep the weight down.
The pre-filter is made with the synthetic filter media FormulaUFI.Extreme coupled with a hydrophobic inner septum, so that a water separation capacity of up to 96 percent, according to ISO 16332, is guaranteed.
The filter, which UFI says has the function of separating the finest particles, is made of FormulaUFI.Stratiflex filter material, a combination of meltblown and cellulose, which achieves a filtration capacity of 98 percent at four microns, according to ISO 19438.
For FPT Industrial Cursor XC13 engines, UFI Filters also supplies a new rotary type blow-by filter, developed as an evolution of existing products in the UFI filtration system range.
