Alcap principle

alpha laval design of centrifuge for dealing with high density residual fuels. It has a flow control disc and no need for gravity disc to be changed for varying density of fuel. Heating increases density differential, so water moves to the outer part of the bowl coz of centrifugal effect,
before water interface reaches disc stack a transducer via microchips causes the bowl to self sludge or water to be discharged to the drain valve.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
