Tigerloop - Oil De-Aerators Tigerloop Auto

Tigerloop® Auto 2 models combine the advantages for the fuel pump of a two-pipe system with advantages for the fuel tank of a one-pipe system. When using a one-pipe system and a Tigerloop® Auto 2, only the amount of fuel used by the burner is drawn from the tank. As flow of fuel decreases, so does the amount of dirt particles transported from the tank. This results in cleaner combustion.

The Tigerloop® Auto 2 models also have other advantages.The pressurized return line to the tank is removed, thus eliminating the risk for leakage. A large amount of air bubbles are released when fuel is drawn from the fuel tank to the heater or motor. When using Biodiesel, the viscosity will change dramatically, especially in cold weather. The flow of Biodiesel is restricted causing a higher resistance, which leads to the release of even more air bubbles in the fuel. These air bubbles causes disruptions, soot build-up and wear and tear on the pump / motor. By functioning as a self-de-aerating day tank, the Tigerloop® Auto 2 models will eliminate such problems. The Tigerloop® Auto 2 models even act as a fuel heater by using the friction of the pump to heat the fuel circulating between the Tigerloop and the fuel pump.

Automotive - Automatic fuel de-aerator for diesel and biodiesel

The same way the Tigerloop has helped in over 4 million oil heating installations world-wide, the Tigerloop Auto is helping buses and other automotive transport systems to run more reliably, run more efficiently, reduce pollution and save on engine wear and tear.

Reliability
The Tigerloop Auto 2 is a perfect solution for auxiliary heaters (preheaters) used on buses or other forms of transport as fuel is taken from the fuel tank to feed an auxiliary heater. The Tigerloop Auto 2 allows this system to use only a suction line between the fuel tank and the Tigerloop, eliminating the need for a return line to the fuel tank. The Tigerloop automatically and continually de-aerates the fuel before it enters the auxiliary heater for improved reliability and function, especially in cold weather.

Reducing fuel consumption
Using the Tigerloop Auto 2 together with an auxiliary heater allows the bus or other transport system to heat an area inside the vehicle without the use of the motor. This is a great benefit in saving fuel.

Reducing pollution
Idling buses and other automotive transports can pollute the air in and around the bus. Exhaust from the bus can also enter buildings through air intakes, doors and open windows. The exhaust from idling buses and other automotive transports can be a real health concern. The Tigerloop Auto 2 helps auxiliary heaters to run reliably in all weather conditions by providing the heater with pre-heated and de-aerated fuel automatically and continually.

Saving on engine wear and tear
Today’s engines require very short idling times to warm up. Extended idling times will actually lead to engine damage. Engine manufacturers generally recommend between no more than 3 to 5 minutes of idling. Some engine manufactures have written instructions to avoid excess idling, which causes carbon build up leading to engine damage.
