FRESH WATER?

Fresh water produced from fresh water

generator is used for drinking, cooking,
washing and even running other important
machinery which use fresh water as a
cooling medium

Distillate Pump
•Evaporator
-The evaporator chamber is located at the top of the heater and this is
where the water vapour is liberated from the brine.

•Condenser
-The condenser is mounted above the heater close to the top of the -
unit and this is where the vapour is condensed into water.

•Salinity Indicator
-The salinometer continuously checks the quality and salinity of the
fresh water produced and notifies the duty engineer if the salinity has
exceeded a pre- defined set point of 10ppm.
•Shell
-The condenser, evaporator and demister are housed within the FWG
shell.
•Vacuum
-Used to reduce atmospheric pressure

•Distillate Pump
-The distillate pump is a single-stage centrifugal pump that
extracts the fresh water produced from the condenser and
pumps it to the distilled, drinking and fresh water storage
tanks.
•Eductor/Ejector
-The ejector uses sea water as its driving medium and extracts
brine and incondensable gases from the evaporator.
