Cold Filter Plug Point refers to the temperature at which diesel begins to crystallize at low temperatures, typically used to measure the performance of diesel in low-temperature environments. At low temperatures, some components in diesel can crystallize and form solids, which can cause blockage of fuel pumps, injectors, and fuel circuits, as well as heater failures. Therefore, reducing the cold filtration point of diesel can improve its fluidity and stability at low temperatures, reduce the occurrence of faults, and ensure normal engine operation.
Main factors affecting Cold Filter Plug Point
1. The influence of hydrocarbon composition;
2. The influence of resins, asphaltenes, and surfactants;
3. The impact of water content in oil products.
