3. Description of the plant and its system

3-1. Working description with engine jacket cooling water heating.
The DongHwa Entec fresh water generator uses the heat from Main Engine Jacket
Cooling Water to produce drinkable water by evaporating sea water due to the high
vacuum, which enables the feed water to evaporate at below 45℃.
Steam can also be used as heat source instead of hot jacket water.
The DongHwa Entec fresh water generator is based on 2 sets of titanium plate
heat
exchangers, acting as an evaporator and a condenser respectively.
The water ejector enables evaporator chamber vacuum condition by driving sea
water pass through water ejector, and sea water supplied by ejector pump to be
delivered to ejector for taking out the brine and air.
The feed water evaporates while entering to the evaporate chamber due to the
vacuum condition. The water spray and droplets are partly removed from the vapor by
the deflector mounted on top of the evaporator and partly by a build-in demister.
The feed water evaporates while entering to the evaporate chamber due to the
vacuum condition. The water spray and droplets are partly removed from the vapour
by the deflector mounted on top of the evaporator and partly by a build-in demister.
The separated water droplets fall back into the brine, which is extracted by the
ejector pump.
The desalted vapour, which passes through the demister, will be sucked into the
plate condenser where it will be condensed by means of incoming cold sea water.
The distilled water will be taken out by integral fresh water pump and controlled
by salinometer and solenoid valve. If it is of high salt content, the solenoid valve
recirculation work starts automatically to the shell or dumping line against high salt
content.
Thermometers are installed for control of sea water to the condenser and engine
cooling water to the evaporator. These thermometers permit control of both heating
and cooling of these units.
The salinometer(salinity indicator) is connected to remote alarm so that very high
salinity is registered immediately at the bridge of the ship or the engine control room.
1. For this plant, please bear in mind that the pressure of ejector inlet side should be
around 3 bar in ballast and around 4 bar in loading.
2. The pressure of ejector outlet should not exceed 0.8 bar.
3. The feed water should be controlled by feed valve. Normally it should be fully

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
Open to prevent formation of scaling on below 10 ppm.
3-2. Working description with saturated steam heating.
In addition to engine jacket cooling water heating, saturated live steam can
alternatively be used as heating medium for the fresh water generator.
The saturated live steam is being delivered to the heat exchanger of the fresh water
generator through a steam injector.
This steam injector works as a circulating pump and heat up the circulated fresh
water steam condensate, which comes from the outlet branch of the heat exchanger of
the fresh water generator.
As the heat exchanger of the fresh water generator is filled with clean fresh water
or steam condensate by starting the steam heating process. The produced steam
condensate from the supplied saturated live steam escapes from the socket in the
vertical safety blow off pipe. This condensate is led back to the boiler feed water tank
or hot well of the boiler through the condensate outlet placed on the safety blow off
pipe.
3-3. Installation description
Please check the installation drawing and technical specification, overhaul space
in
installation fresh water generator.
Be aware that it must be possible to read the value of thermometer and other gauge.
To avoid the unnecessary pressure drop, the connection pipe should be simple,
because it could effect the specified pump efficiency and produced fresh water
capacity.
Check the specified quantity of jacket water and sea water, steam flow through
the evaporator properly.
The fresh water pipe should be connected to the fresh water tank of the ship.
The counter pressure in the fresh water pipe should not exceed 1.8 bar or
according to specification.
It is recommended that the fresh water outlet line should be used stainless steel or
non-ferrous piping material, because the produced water made by fresh water
generator is of high purity, where dissolved oxygen concentration is of extremely low
level. If dissolved oxygen's quantity is low then oxide film will not be developed by

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
which it will be very unstable chemically. So this water tends to stabilize itself by
resolving and contacting with other substances. As the result, the color of water may
changes to be red or brownish.
The combined ejector-sea water pump is designed to withstand on a level with and
in close vicinity to the fresh water generator and for a maximum counter-pressure in
the overboard piping of 0.8 bar. If this is impossible, it should be dimensioned for
additional lifting height, and pipe resistance and ejector should be designed
accordingly.
3-4. Installation description of the steam injector
If the back pressure is exerted on the discharge line of the steam drain of the
steam
injector, extraordinary vibration may occur in the injector and there is maximum
possibility that the operation of the system may become impossible.
If the pressure after the steam injector exceed 1 bar, the safety valve will be
opened to secure the plate.
If the supplied steam pressure is lower than the designed pressure, the vibration
may be caused to the system. The fluctuation from the designed value must be within
about ± 5%.

Step. 1 : Start the sea water ejector pump.

① Fully open the ejector pump suction valve as well as the overboard
discharge valve.
② Start the ejector pump.
③ Slowly open the ejector pump’s discharge valve.
** Make Sure that the pressure at the water ejector inlet is 3.0 bar or more.
Step. 2 : Wait for sufficient vacuum.(about 92%)
Step. 3 : Open the feed water valve and fed sea waer into the evaporator. Feed water
quantity can be seen by the readings of the comp. gauge in front of the feed
water orifice. The feed valve is to be fully opened to prevent scale on the
evaporator plate.
Step. 4 : Open the inlet and outlet valves for jacket cooling water of evaporator.
Avoid the thermal shock to your main engine. The inlet and outlet valves of jacket
water cooling water to be opened and closed slowly and progressively.
While the obtained vacuum drops to around 85%, the boiling temperature now rises.
This indicates that evaporation has started.
Step. 5 : Open valve for feed water treatment.

Step. 6 : When fresh water is present in the inspection glass on the air suction line,
start the distillate pump and open the valve before flow meter.

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
4-2. Regulating the capacity.
The procedure amount of fresh water and the amount of engine cooling water for
the evaporator is adjusted by means of the bypass valve til correct capacity is obtained.
In case of production of fresh water in excess of its rated capacity, we recommend
that you should operate the plant at the prescribed quantity of fresh water or less as
production but in excess can involve the risk of scale formation.

5. Operating with Steam Injector

5-1. Starting up the plant
Do not open steam inlet valve for the steam injector operation before the ejector
pump has been started and serving feed water to the evaporator.
Open the priming valve and fill the evaporator section with fresh water. If any air is
present in the shell inside, the gasket of evaporator section plate will be damaged by
abnormal rise in temperature. Such air can also cause abnormal noise or vibration due
the cavitation or pulsating movement of inside water.
Do not open the steam valve rapidly. If so, water in the shell will pour into the
drain tank and cause vibration.
If steam pressure is lower than the designed value, inside water will pulsate and
cause abnormal noise and vibration.
The steam arrangement must be filled with fresh water from hydrophore system,
before supplying steam to the system.
No valve at all should be fitted on the pipe from the safety valve as this pipe must
be opened to the atmospheric pressure.
Max. Back pressure in condensate discharge line is 0.8 bar.
When stopping the plant, check that the steam inlet valve is always completely
closed.
To avoid high temperature in the evaporator, as this might cause ;

- Scale formation on the inside of the heat exchanger plates.
- Damage the gaskets in the heat exchanger.
Step. 1 : Close the inlet and outlet valves to jacket cooling water completely, and
open the valves in the drain line for draining jacket cooling water.
Step. 2 : After blowing jacket cooling water, close the drain cock and then fill up
the plant with boiler feed water or clean fresh water until water over flow
the priming checking line.
Step. 3 : The cock at the top of the drain pipe should always be opened because it
serves as a syphone breaker.(Syphone breaker is not necessary when a

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
drain tank is installed on the higher location than fresh water generator or
on the same floor.)
Step. 4 : Open the two butterfly valves in the steam injector circuit.
Step. 5 : Open the feed water valve and fed sea water into the evaporator. Feed
water quantity can be seen by the readings of the comp. gauge in front of
the feed water orifice. The feed water valve is to be fully opened to
prevent formation of scale on the evaporate plate, but in case the salinity
is some increased, the feed valve is to be closed a bit.
Step. 6 : After the above mentiond preparation, open the steam valve gradually
before the steam injector in order to steam supply initial during 10 min.
Fresh water in the piping is circulated as well as heated by steam. As
heating fresh water is cooled in the evaporator section plate, steam drain
goes up through the drain pipe and then it is exhausted into the drain tank.
The steam supplied to the steam injector must be saturated steam.
5-2. Regulating the capacity.
The fresh water production can be regulated by adjustment of the quantity of

steam supplied to the steam injector.
The steam inlet pressure corresponding to the production of fresh water in

question can be regulated either by means of a manually operated regulating valve
(yard supply) or by an automatic reduction valve(yard supply).
DongHwa Entec recommended that you will operate the plant at the prescribed
quantity of fresh water or less production but in excess hereof can involve the risk of
scale formations.
Steam pressure must be in accordance with pressure stated in “FWG Order

Specification.“

6. Maintenance & Service

6-1. Cleaning with Chemical.
Although the working temperature of evaporator keep 40~48℃, scaling gradually

come into evaporator section plate and the the capacity will be reduced. So the
cleaning of evaporator section plate is necessary.
The cleaning time depends on the working condition, but normally a chemical
cleaning should be 2~3 times per year as well as an opening of the plate pack onec a
year or every second year for total cleaning/inspection will be sufficient.
To reduce the cleaning time and scaling, the feed water quantity is the most important.
So please fully open sea water feed water valve in normal condition as below 10 ppm.
6-2. Cleaning by opening of Fresh Water Generator.
When the plant has been stopped as described under “Stopping the plant“ open the
fresh water generator and inspect Condenser & Evaporator section, Demister and the
interior of the fresh water generator and carry out the required cleaning.
Generally, it is necessary only to separate the evaporator and clean the plates by
means of the chemicals described under “Chemical Cleaning“. The interior of the
fresh water generator should be cleaned at the same time using the same chemicals.
6-3. The Fresh Water Generator’s cleaning procedure.
Step. 1 : Loosen the bolt & nut of Shell Cover.
Step. 2 : Loosen the nuts on the tightening bolt gradually so that no nut will carry
the entire load alone.
Step. 3 : Pull out the end cover and take out the plates one by one and mark the
position in order not to get a “disorganized“ plate pack when you have to
the assembly again.
Step. 4 : Remove the scaling with soft brush or submerge in hot, inhibited acid
bath at maximum 50℃.

INSTRUCTION DATA :

Always follow carefully the supplier instructions when using inhibited acid.
Remember to neutralize according to supplier instructions.
Step. 5 : Examine plates and gaskets. If any defective plate is founded, remove the
plate together with the other plates in this group. But the first and last
plate in the plate package can not be removed without being replaced by
a new plate.
Step. 6 : When reassembling a separated evaporator, it should be checked for any

damaged or defective gaskets. If any, then change the gasket with new
one as shown on the plate diagram. Assemble the plates in due succession
according to plate arangement drawing and be aware that they are positioned

Step. 8 : Before closing the Shell Cover, the Hydro-test of the both side should be
done. In case of evaporator, it should be done by slowly opening the by-
pass valve for hot water into normal position and let the water flow through.
In case of condenser, just start sea water ejector pump to circulate.
Step. 9 : After test is done, if there is no leak, then close cover and tight the bolt &
nut properly.

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
Step. 10 : After all reassembling, the vacuum test should be done by starting sea
water ejector pump at the same time by re-tightening bolt & nut of shell
cover some more.
6-4. Renewal of heat exchanger gasket.
☞ The gasket’s shape

Please kindly find attached drawing.
☞ Glue type
PLIBOND 25/SCOTCHGRIP 847 are nitrile rubber glues on soluble
basis(25%
solid material). The glues are partly thermoplastic so that old gaskets can be
unsticked lease kindly find attached drawing.
☞ Detergent
For cleaning and degreasing new gaskets and gasket grooves use “ACETONE“.
Any remaining charred or loose glue and rubber must be removed by using a
rotation stainless steel brush. It is very important that every detergent is
evaporated before putting glue on.
Solvents are dangerous to inhale.
☞ Gluing
After wiping gaskets and gasket grooves with a cloth moistioned with
degreasing
substance, the gluing itself can begin. The gluing areas must be quite clean-
free from fingerprints also. The gaskets are covered by a brush with a thin coat
of glue on the gluing area and placed on a clean and dry place in order to dry.
The gluing process should be done easily on a solid table. After the gaskets
have been put into the plate gasket grooves, the plates are stacked.
When the gluing is finished, the plates are hung into the unit again and heat
exchanger is clamped together. The heat exchanger can be warmed up by hot
water if the glue is to be dried quickly but without pressure and water!
Drying time : Approx. 2 hours at 80 ~ 100℃.
Approx. 24 hours at 40 ~ 150℃.
Approx. 48 hours at room temperature.
If it is not possible to heat the plate heat exchanger, plates must always be placed
in warm condition.

6-5. Maintenance of Ejector.
The DongHwa Entec ejector consist of Mixing tube and Diffuser, 1’st & 2’nd Nozzle.
Please find attached drawing. There shown the ejector overhaul procedure.
7. Chemical Dosing
Using the more concentrated chemical may cause seriously damage to the plate so the
color of plate is changed.
7-1. Prevention of Scaling.
During the sea water evaporation, there is always a risk of scaling on the heating
surface. This results in reduced K-values of the heating surface and decreased fresh
water production as well an overall reduction of the plant efficiency.
In order to prevent scaling, the operators must be aware of the factors influencing
the scale formation.
7-2. Feed water ratio.
The feed water ratio is an extremely important factor. It is defined by the

relationship between the feed water amount fed into the plant and the produced fresh
water generator.
If the feed water ratio is reduced, the concentration will rise in the plant
subsequently, resulting in scale formations.
The feed valve is to be fully opened to prevnet scale on the evaporator plate. But
in case the salinity is some increased, the feed valve is to be closed a bit.
7-3. Chemical Dosage.
In order to control scale formation on the heating surface and continuous

operation periods without acid cleaning of the plant, it is absolutely necessary to
dose scale control additives to the feed water. The operators must follow the

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
instructions for chemical additives to the feed water. The operators must follow the
instructions for chemical dosing given by the chemical supplier carefully.
If the distiller is operated at boiling temperatures above 45℃ without chemicals,

frequently cleaning of the evaporator is necessary.
We recommend you not to operate the fresh water generator without

recommended chemical dosage at boiling tempertures above 45℃.
7-4. Scale inhibitor dosage equipment for feed water.
When adding chemicals, mix throughly to ensure a homogeneous blend of

chemicals and water.
Use a fully soluble scale inhibitor, e,g. On polymer basis. The following product
can be recommended :
* NALFEET Evaporator treatment 9-913.

* AMEROYAL EVAPORATOR TREATMENT
* HEXAMETHAPHOSPHATE
* UNITOR LIQUID EVAPORATOR TREATMENT
Step. 1 : Mix the required quantity for 24 hours operation in the tank according to
maker’s instruction.
Step. 2 : Adjust flow-meter to cover the maximum fresh water output from the
distiller.
Step. 3 : Flush the dosage system regulary.
7-5. Safety precautions with the use of chemical.
Step. 1 : Use eye production and gloves. Avoid direct skin contact with skin, eye
and clothes.
Step. 2 : Clean empty containers before disposal.
Step. 3 : If chemicals are spilled on the cloth, rinse with water and dispose off
clothes.

INSTRUCTION DATA :
FOR REV.NO. : 0
Step. 4 : If chemicals are spilled on the floor, rinse with water and suck remaining
chemicals off with sand. Clean the spot immidiately afterwards.
Step. 5 : Scale inhibitor is hazardous, if consumed in a concentrated solution. If

consumed by mistake. IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
Step. 6 : If eyes get in contact with the chemicals, rinse for at least 20 minutes
with water. IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

1. The extent of scaling on the plates and the cleaning interval thereof depend on the
opeating conditions such as the evaporating temperature, capacity, feed water flow
rate, type of chemicals solution, with or without injection, etc. Therefor, User will
modify adequately the inspection schedule from time to time based on its own data
and experience in the actual operations in the ship.
2. The extent of consumption of the Corrosion Bar depends on the property of sea
water and other conditions, so that the inspection schedule for it should be
modified based on the experience and results of the actual operations in the ship.
3. If the material of the Ejector Pump is PBC, it will be worn down with increasing
operating time and the surface of its impeller will get rough. As the pump
continuous rotating at high speed, these phenomena are unavoidable.
User should take notice of these.
