American Bureau Shipping

alternative current

autonomous marine operation and systems

concentrated seawater remaining after evaporation of water content.

Bureau Veritas

water tank fitted with a coil, or coils (steam, thermal oil or electrical), that can be heated in order to heat the water.

counter-clockwise

unit for injecting a scale inhibitor that prevents seawater-derived scale from occurring on the heating surface of the evaporator or membranes.

clean-in-place

heat exchanger that condenses vapor into distillate.

central processing unit

clockwise / cold water

plate that separates seawater particles being transported together with the vapor generated in the evaporator.

wire mesh that separates the brine mist that is being transferred together with the vapor generated in the evaporator.

distill

wire mesh that separates the brine mist that is being transferred together with the vapor generated in the evaporator.

pump that transfers the distillate produced in the FWG with plate to FW TK.

process in which water is boiled until it evaporates and then vapor condenses, leaving behind impurities with different boiling points, as a result of seawater distillation produces distillate

Det Norske Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd

name of sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 found in crystals.

drinking

engine control room

Ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid

pump that feeds driving water to the water ejector of the FWG.

engine room

heat exchanger that evaporates seawater into vapor.

physical separation process in which solid particles in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by the use of filter medium that has a complex structure and permits the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles.

fuel oil

plant which produces distillate or fresh water from seawater.

freshwater

freshwater generator

hydraulic turbocharger which capture pressure from a secondary flow to boost the primary high-pressure feed flow.

hydraulic pressure booster

hot water

instrument vessel of domestic and potable water system used on shipboard to maintain the water pressure always provided to all areas of the ship without continuous pump operation.

International Organization for Standardization

light-emitting diode

lube oil

Lloyd Register

main engine

thin layer of semi-permeable material that is used for solute separation

device which uses on board ships to producing potable water with suitable hardness, PH value and mineral components.

Maritime Labour Convention

material safety data sheet

device containing several different filtration media (e.g., sand, garnet, gravel, aqua volcano, etc) and applies for instance in domestic and potable system for water filtration.

printed circuit board

potential of Hydrogen

programmable logistic controller

difference between make pressure and break pressure.

device which transfers hydraulic energy from a high-pressure fluid flow to a low-pressure fluid flow.

pressure range within which the unit will give a signal (contact changeover).

device that operates an electrical contact when a pre-set fluid pressure has been reached on its input.

port side

potable water

device which uses on board ships to remove solid particles and contaminants and to adjust suitable PH value of desalinated water.

water purification process commonly used in freshwater generation or boiler feed-water desalination and relies on the principle that when solutions of differing concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane.

reverse osmosis

amount of dissolved salts that are present in water.

aggregate that consists of a solute ion or molecule with one or more solvent molecules.

system that adds vapor to fresh water to generate hot water.

process that removes or deactivates microorganisms such as bacteria and other biological agents present in or on a specific surface, object, or fluid.

device which makes sterilization by certain method (thermal, radiation, chemical etc.) and applies for instance in domestic and potable water ship system for UV sterilization).

starboard side

sea water

total dissolved solids

device which maintain the temperature of a certain process at pre-set value.

device which responds to temperature changes and may act as a valve in fluid circuits or as a switch in electric circuits.

tank

electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays and uses onboard ship for sterilization action of drinking water.

type of motor drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to provide effective control AC motor speed and torque by manipulating voltage and frequency.

device that evacuates the evaporator and discharges cooling seawater and brine overboard.
