Aqua Fresh Water Generator Intro

The Aqua Fresh Water Generator uses heat from engine cooling water or steam to evaporate seawater feed water between heated plates in a vacuum. Vapors rise and any remaining droplets are removed in the separator section before clean freshwater vapor condenses at the top where it is pumped out as drinkable water.

AQUA FRESH WATER GENERATOR

How it works

AQUAs flow of feed water is taken from the flow of seawater coolant. Feed water enters the
lower (evaporator) section of the plate pack, in which the plates are warmed by the heating
medium. The heating medium is either engine jacket cooling water or a closed circuit heated by
steam. Here the water is evaporated at around 40-60C in a vacuum of 85-95%, which is
maintained by the brine/air ejector.

The vapour produced rises between the plates into the middle (separator) section of the plate
pack, where any droplets of entrained seawater are removed. Gravity causes these droplets to
fall back into the brine sump at the bottom of the freshwater generator.

Only clean freshwater vapour reaches the top (condenser) section of the plate pack, which is
cooled by a flow of seawater. Here the vapour is condensed into fresh water, which is pumped
out of the freshwater generator by the freshwater pump.
