EVALUATION OF THE AQUA-CHEM 200-GPH SEAWATER DISTILLATION UNIT.
Abstract
A 400-hour evaluation test of a portable 200-gph vapor compression seawater distillation unit was performed to determine the unit's conformity to existing procurement specifications and its suitability for inclusion in the advanced base functional component system. A new concept in vapor compression distillation is described. In performance, the Aqua-Chem unit was comparable with the conventional vapor compression units but was 40% lighter and 55% less in volume. The unit produced the required 200 gph of distilled water, consuming only 1 pound of diesel fuel for each 300 pounds of distilled water produced. (Author)
