Ship Hydrophore Tanks

Ship Hydrophore Tanks | Automatic Pressure Water Tank for Shipboard Fresh & Seawater Supply

Product Overview
Our Ship Hydrophore Tanks are essential pressurized water storage solution designed to maintain consistent water pressure for freshwater and seawater supply applications onboard vessels and offshore platforms. This fully automated system ensures reliable water delivery for accommodation services, deck operations, and emergency systems while meeting international marine standards and classification society requirements.

Key Applications

Freshwater supply systems for crew accommodations, galleys, and sanitary facilities
Seawater supply systems for deck washing, firefighting, and cooling applications
Emergency water supply for safety and operational systems
General service water for various vessel operations

Operating Principle – Automated Pressure Management
The marine hydrophore system utilizes compressed air to maintain constant water pressure throughout vessel operations:

Pressure Generation: Water pumps fill the tank, compressing air to maintain system pressure
Automatic Pump Control: Pressure controller activates pumps when pressure drops below 0.4 MPa
Pressure Maintenance: System maintains optimal pressure between 0.4-0.6 MPa for continuous supply
Safety Protection: Safety valve activates at 0.63 MPa to prevent overpressure conditions

System Components & Functions

📊 Liquid Level Meter

Visual indication of water level conditions within the tank
Ensures proper system operation and prevents dry running
