Did you know
- Alfa Laval's heritage in separation technology dates back to 1878 with the invention of the continuous centrifugal separator by Gustaf de Laval. The Viscochief series, a viscosity control system, builds upon this legacy of optimizing fluid handling for marine and industrial applications. The Viscochief MKII was introduced as a new, fully automated viscosity control system.
- The Viscochief series, including models like the Viscochief MKII and Viscochief 3, are stand-alone modular systems within Alfa Laval's broader range of fuel conditioning and supply systems. These systems, such as the FCM 1.5 Oil and FCM Ammonia, are designed to optimize fuel temperature, pressure, and viscosity for marine engines.
- The Viscochief systems are chosen for their ability to automatically monitor and control fuel oil viscosity, ensuring optimal engine performance and protection. They offer features like full-flow measurement, dual fuel operation modes, and remote control capabilities, reducing operating costs and maintenance.
