System FCS-D-380

The FCS system-D-380 is an integrated system for the measurement of engines (diesel engines) with forward and return line for fuel supply with the fuel pump at the engine (suction).

The measuring range is 0.1 to 250l/h, and the output of the internal pump for fuel circulation is max. 380l/h.

Due to the 24V DC power supply, the system can be operated directly from the truck battery.  The FCS-D systems can be easily installed into the existing fuel supply via four fuel tube connections equipped with quick lock couplings.

With many engine types the installed fuel supply system does not only provide fuel for combustion. The overall system functionality consists of fuel supply to the engine, the return of surplus fuel back to the tank and the constant fuel circulation for cooling of the fuel supply components located close to the engine.

For correct fuel consumption measurement, the FCS-D systems splits the original fuel circuit into two separate circuits. One circuit is related to the engine and the other is related to the tank. This design allows correct fuel consumption measurement by the flowtronic sensor which is located between the tank circuit and the engine circuit. This sensor module is based on a four piston counter.

To avoid overheating and gas bubbles within the engine related fuel circulation the FCS-D include a heat exchanger module for cooling. The fuel pump within the FCS-D systems provides the required fuel supply to the engine as well as fuel circulation for cooling purpose. For proper operation, the systems are protected by one easy accessible fuel filter.

Two different system types are availabe: system FCS-D-380 and sensor system FCS-D-380. The scope of delivery differs in the signal electronic SE8005D (with touch-screen display and software) or S8005AD (low-budget version with TTL and analogue signal output only).
