Introduction

The accepted method of checking the cleanliness of aviation fuel is the 'clear and bright' test, where fuel is swirled around in an open bucket or clear glass jar and visually inspected. However this procedure carries the risk of sample contamination from the elements or from dirty sample points. There is also a high probability of fuel spillage and contact with operations staff, which is unacceptable. The Closed circuit Sampler 'CCS' has been developed to overcome these problems and actually improives sampling procedures, and as a result it is now in widespread use with refueling companies all over the world.

These High Capacity Samplers have been developed from the 4L & 20L units specifically for use in tank farms and other locations where large volume drain samples are required, and they share many of the onnovative design features of the 4L & 20L Samplers.

Description and Operation

The CCS consists of a clear glass tube fitted with a stainless steel conical base to assist in the detection of dirt and water, and with a lift-and-turn lid mechanism. The base incorporates a tangential inlet port to promote vortexing of the incoming fuel, and a close coupled stainless steel drain valve.

The inlet port should be connected to the main tank sample line, and the contents of both the sample line and tank low point are flushed into the glass vessel at a high flow rate through the spring close inlet valve. This allows the fuel velocity to be maximised and purges the low point efficiently.

When fuel is drawn into the CCS under pressure from the sample points the tangential inlet port promotes vortexing of the incoming fuel. This concentrates contamination in the centre of the base making detection very easy. After the fuel has been visually inspected the drain valve is opened to release the sample. Internal cleaning of the CCS is accomplished through the lid.

A number of options are also available. Hydrometer and Thermometer pockets for density and temperature checks can be provided inside the glass tube. It is also possible to carry out the Shell Water Detector Capsules for Jet Fuels, Box of 80 Capsules or Velcon Hydrokit test on the fuel sample using an option which is fitted to the inlet pipework.

The inlet and outlet are flanged and there is a sample point in the outlet pipwork fitted with a spring close ball valve. The complete unit is mounted onto a stainless steel support frame.
