Product catalog summary
Application
The APV Water Desalination Unit type H-CE is designed for desalinating seawater to produce potable and fresh utility water, suitable for installation on ships and rigs. It is a single-stage, plate-type evaporator and condenser system, available in four sizes with capacities ranging from 20m3/24h to 33m3/24h.
Product Features
  • Heat exchangers with specially designed Titanium plates for effective steam passage and high efficiency.
  • Condenser cooling combined with ejector water and feed water system, complete with piping.
  • Compact and space-saving design.
Benefits
  • High fresh water quality with an automatic feed-water dosing valve for optimized freshwater production and low salinity.
  • Low operation costs due to reduced heat consumption and easy access for cleaning and inspection.
  • Reduced service intervals with corrosive-resistant Titanium plates and a pre-installed adjustable chemical dosing unit.
  • Reduced installation costs with a fully equipped control box and complete piping.
Working Principle
The unit operates by evacuating the vessel with evaporator and condenser to -0.93 bar using a seawater-driven ejector. Seawater enters the evaporator, evaporates at approximately 44°C - 49°C, and the steam passes through a demister to the condenser where it is condensed into freshwater. The freshwater is then pumped to a tank, monitored by a salinometer, and redirected if salinity exceeds preset values.
Standard Equipment
  • Titanium plate heat exchangers for evaporator and condenser.
  • Seawater ejector, freshwater pump, freshwater meter, frame, control panel with motor starters, salinometer, and anti-scaling dosing unit.
Additional and Optional Equipment
  • Required: Seawater pump.
  • Optional: Ejector for alternative heating by steam, UV sterilizing equipment, re-hardening filter for pH adjustment.
Materials and Specifications
  • Plates: Titanium
  • Gaskets: Nitrile (NBR)
  • Vessel: AISI 316L (Stainless Steel)
  • Frame and freshwater pipes: AISI 316L (Stainless Steel)
  • Seawater pipes: CuNi (Copper-Nickel)
  • Capacity: 20 - 33 m3/24h
  • Seawater temperature: 0°C - 32°C
  • Jacket water temperature: 75°C - 90°C
  • Design pressure: Vacuum -0.93 bar, Plate pack inlet pressure Max. 5 bar
  • Freshwater quality: Salinity Max. 5 ppm
  • Finish: Frame painting Blue/RAL 5010, Electric table painting Grey/RAL 7035
Technical Documentation
Complete technical documentation, installation drawings, and instruction manual are provided with each unit.

Water Desalination Unit-1

Working principle The vessel with evaporator and con-denser is evacuated to -0,93 bar by the seawater-driven ejector. At this pressure, the seawater to be distilled enters the evaporator where it evapo- rates at approx. 44C - 49аC when passing the plates heated by the heating medium - typically hot water (engine jacket water) at 75C - 90аC. The steam leaves the evaporator through the open side of the plate pack and passes through a demister, where any carry-over drops are sepa- rated for re-circulation, and then enters the condenser positioned above. The clean vacuum steam is condensed into freshwater by circulating cold water on the other side. ՕՕ > Additional equipment required Standard equipment Application Benefits The freshwater is pumped to the fresh-water tank, passing a sensor connect- ed to the salinometer. If the salinity is higher than the pre-set reference value the solenoid valve is activated and the flow is directed back for re-production. Seawater pump The APV H-CE Water Desalination Unit includes Titanium plate heat exchangers for evaporator and con- denser, vessel, seawater ejector, fresh- water pump, freshwater meter, frame, control panel with motor starters and salinometer, and dosing unit for anti- scaling. The APV Water Desalination Unit type H-CE is a fresh water generator for desalination of seawater for production of potable and fresh utility water; used for installation on board ships and rigs. The water desalination unit is a single stage, plate type evaporator and con- denser, separated by stainless steel demister. The H-CE unit is available in four sizes with capacities ranging from 20m High fresh water quality: Automatic feed-water dosing valve secures optimised freshwater production and low salinity Low operation costs: Reduced heat consumption due to pre-heating of feed-water and full access for clean- ing and inspection reduce operation and maintenance costs Reduced service intervals: Use of corrosive resistant Titanium plates. Pre-installed adjustable chemical dosing unit reduces fouling Reduced installation costs. Fully equipped control box for easy instal- lation and operation and complete piping.
