Auckland Data Centre Install

16 Mar 2022

Vocus New Zealand supplies telco services to government and local government, it has had PFM GP3000 units installed for its expansion of the Auckland located North Harbour data centre. This is to assist in its investment of the delivery of sophisticated and reliable network solutions.

These units have been installed maintaining two newly installed 10,000 litre tanks supplying the required backup generators in the case of power outages or emergency.

Toyota LandCruiser GL 2011 with unit install updated 16th Feb, 10th March, 28th May 2022.

A GP08B was fitted to a 2011 4.5 litre common rail diesel Toyota LandCruiser GL, fitted with long-range tanks.

A stable voltage ignition circuit was used, all pipework was securely fastened with pipe route, and unit located in most practical area away from engine vibrations and radiated heat sources.

The image shown is a GP06B recently installed on a Nissan Patrol with a ZD30 (DDTi) Engine. The Unit is installed and located between the fuel tank and the fuel filters. The power is drawn from a stable power source on an ignition circuit.
The reason the unit was installed was that recently fuel had been contaminated with “Deisel Bug” causing engine filters to block and require frequent cleaning until another fuel filter could be sourced.

It’s packed with important nutrients like calcium, potassium, and B Vitamins, now PFM is assisting in getting it to you.

Made to Order PFM packages for units are now being installed at various locations across Fonterra's New Zealand’s Dairy industry, assisting them in fuel reliability.

As it holds a firm foothold in a substantial share of the world’s dairy exports, its faith in our technology is proving we are taken seriously when reliability is essential at critical times in production.

Common Rail Diesel Engines

24 Dec 2021

A Common Rail Diesel engines typical fuel injector will open and close more than a billion times, the injection duration is only 1 to 2 milliseconds (mS), and fuel is injected into the pistons at approximately 2000km/h through the nozzles opening of less than .25mm2. The valve needle clearance is .002mm (2µm); by comparison, with a human hair being 30 times thicker (.06mm).

PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS WITH IMPROVED FUEL QUALITY WITH OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

2 Dec 2021

The storage of fuel has the constant issue of atmospheric moisture ingression, this is a problem affecting fuel quality.
Storage facilities and the environment heat and cool with solar radiant heat, and together with weather, and the lowering of fuel volumes in storage draw in humidity through its breathers. The hydroscopic nature of fuels raises the moisture content of the fuel allowing bacteria to grow and the combustibility of fuels to become compromised in quality.

Fuels, Sulphur content removal, lubricity and Emissions.

10 Nov 2021

Diesel fuel has an inherent quality of lubricity, this comes from the compounds (sulphur and nitrogen) forming a protective layer on metal surfaces required to lubricate the combustion engines fuel pump and protect injectors from wear.

The hydrotreating in the refining process of crude oil to produce distillate, is used to reduce the sulphur content, therefore the hydrotreating process can alter the compounds that produce the occurring lubricity of the fuel.

The “Salvage” of usable diesel fuel from fuel contaminated by a microbial growth.

27 Aug 2021

Fuel contamination is a common occurrence in stored fuel of any volume, its presence is directly resulting from many factors having influence of microbial growth
Most farming machines, boats and infrastructure support machinery are only seasonally required to operate, these sit without operation and little maintenance for extended periods of time. The machines will sit in the sun, sea, and rain through seasons with partially filled fuel tanks or even fully filled. The will be required to start up and be operated for periods of heavy extended use,

Product operation hard at work “diesel cleaning” now up in lights!...................August 2021

Pfmblue has added the ability for the internal operation of the unit polishing fuel to be seen through the body housing.

As can been seen in the image of our GP16B, between the main fluid carrying body of the unit and two powered bodies of the unit, the illuminated “Glow” of the internal operation of the frequencies at work killing the “diesel bug”.

Our original blue indication light is still visible through the blue covers.

The dilemma of fuel contamination, the hydrocarbon handbrake. PFMBlue offering a solution to an old problem.

16 Jul 2021

With the development of fuel types and refinement of engine technologies the issues created by bacterial (Microbial contamination) and moisture causing damage to your engines and fuel delivery systems become more costly. The effect of moisture contaminated fuels mixed with the cocktail of microbes and fungus growth causing operational failures erode the operators profit margin.
