Sea water – evaporator on a ship
Sea water – evaporator on a ship User: THENAMARIS INC., Shipping company in Greece We are proud on our first application in the marine industry. Right away we were pretty successful in solving problems around seawater. Since then we could install Merus Rings on many other evaporators with the same results. In almost every ship there is an evaporator used to evaporate sea water at a low temperature under low pressure. The resulting steam is condensed and used as fresh water. The left over water is led back to the sea. With the seawater salt and other substances from the sea enter the system. Therefore the inner surface of the heat exchanger in the evaporator gets coatet with a crust of deposits. This builds up over the time and impedes the heat transfer. Subsequently the performance diminis
