Effects of Various Corrosion Inhibitors/Lubricity (CI/LI) on Fuel Filtration Performance; Final rept. May 2007-Mar 2008

摘要

Research had been performed by an industry cooperative program determining the effects of various military aviation fuel additives on filtration performance. One of the conclusions of this research was DCI 4A corrosion inhibitor has detrimental effects on water separation performance of fuel-water separators. The objective of this project was to verify previous research's conclusions that DCI 4A corrosion inhibitor caused detrimental water removal effects. API/IP 1581 5th Edition C-model filter-water separators were evaluated using DCI 4A corrosion inhibitor at 15, 10, 5, and 0 mg/L with duplicates at 5 and 0 mg/L. All data supports the conclusion that the lower the DCI 4A corrosion inhibitor concentration, the less impact this additive has on water separation performance. Results with only static dissipater (Stadis 450) and fuel system icing inhibitor (Di-egme) generate on specification data similar to Jet A that contains no additives.
