Generation of fresh water from sea water
The condensation takes place in the condenser plate bundle located in the upper part of the housing. The condenser is cooled by sea water. The latent heat from condensation is transferred to the sea water. The condensation / evaporation temperature varies with the sea water temperature. A small portion of the heated sea water is utilized as feed water for the evaporator bundle. The biggest part is used as driving medium for the combined air- / brine ejector.
This ejector has a double function: Extraction of the surplus sea water (so-called brine) out of the housing and vacuum creation by exhaust of the non-condensable gases. The distillate quality (salinity) is monitored at the control panel. If the salinity exceeds the adjusted set point (2 – 10 ppm) the distillate is rejected back to the evaporator via a solenoid valve.
