Fuel quality can vary significantly, particularly when operating with heavy fuel oil. Differences in viscosity, temperature and pressure can affect engine performance, efficiency and reliability if fuel properties do not match the engine manufacturer's specifications.
The GEA Visco Booster Unit (VBU) automatically conditions fuel between the fuel supply system and the engine, continuously adjusting viscosity, temperature and pressure to the required operating parameters. The result is stable engine performance, improved fuel compatibility and reliable operation across varying fuel qualities.
Designed to meet different engine manufacturer requirements, the VBU is available in multiple system configurations for single or multiple engines, with optional standby functions for pumps and preheaters. Its compact design, high-quality components and simplified maintenance make it an ideal solution for both newbuild and retrofit projects.

最適な条件での効率的なソリューション
粘度ブースターユニット (VBU) は燃料油タンクと提供されるエンジンとの間に設置されます。全自動制御により、油の粘度、温度、圧力はエンジンメーカーの仕様に合わせて正確に調整されます。その結果、油のさまざまな品質がエンジンにマイナスの影響を与えることはなくなりました。燃料として使用する油が何であれ、燃料はエンジンとの互換性が保たれるように VBU で調整されるため、エンジンは常にスムーズに動きます。
すべての要件に対応
エンジンメーカーに応じて、粘度ブースターユニットとの統合にはさまざまな変形が必要になります。
GEA は各種のシステムソリューションを提供することによってこれに対応しています。フィーダポンプ、ブースターポンプ及び重油予熱器、または一つ以上のエンジン用の待機機能の有無に関係なく、お客様のニーズと期待を満たすソリューションを常にご用意しています。当然ながら、すべてのシステムは、最適な性能で動作する主要機器と共に、小型軽量で信頼性があり、設置及び保全しやすくなっています。
