Ship Pressurized Hydrophore Tanks | Advanced Automatic Pressure Water Storage for Shipboard Fresh & Seawater Distribution
Product Overview
Our Ship Pressurized Hydrophore Tanks are a vital pressurized water storage solution meticulously engineered to uphold a steady water pressure for both freshwater and seawater supply systems onboard ships and offshore installations. This fully automated system guarantees a dependable water delivery for accommodation services, deck – related operations, and emergency systems, all while strictly adhering to international marine standards and the requirements of classification societies.
Key Applications
- Freshwater Supply Systems for Onboard Living Areas: Ideal for providing fresh water to crew accommodations, ship galleys, and sanitary facilities, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic living environment for the crew.
- Seawater Supply Systems for Deck and Safety Operations: Perfect for deck washing, firefighting, and cooling applications, enabling efficient cleaning of the ship’s deck and ensuring the safety of the vessel in case of fire.
- Emergency Water Supply for Ship Safety Systems: Acts as a crucial emergency water source for safety and operational systems, providing a reliable backup in unexpected situations.
- General Service Water for Diverse Ship Operations: Supplies water for various routine operations on the ship, supporting the smooth running of different shipboard processes.
Operating Principle – Intelligent Automated Pressure Management
The marine hydrophore system ingeniously uses compressed air to maintain a constant water pressure throughout all ship operations:
- Pressure Generation Mechanism: Water pumps fill the tank, compressing the air inside to establish and maintain the system pressure, ensuring a consistent water supply.
- Automatic Pump Control Function: A pressure controller automatically activates the pumps when the pressure drops below 0.4 MPa, and stops them when the pressure reaches 0.6 MPa, eliminating the need for manual operation.
- Pressure Maintenance Feature: The system is designed to keep the optimal pressure between 0.4 – 0.6 MPa, providing a continuous and stable water supply for all onboard needs.
- Safety Protection Measure: A safety valve is installed to activate at 0.63 MPa, preventing overpressure conditions that could potentially damage the system or pose safety risks.
System Components & Their Functions
- 📊 Liquid Level Indicator: Offers a clear visual indication of the water level conditions within the tank, enabling proper system operation and preventing dry – running of the pumps, which could cause damage.
- 🪛 Pressure Display Gauge: Provides a real – time display of the internal tank pressure, allowing the crew to monitor the system’s performance and verify its proper functioning.
- ⚙️ Intelligent Pressure Controller: Automatically manages the water pump operation. It starts the pumps at 0.4 MPa and stops them at 0.6 MPa, ensuring consistent pressure without any manual intervention, enhancing operational efficiency.
- 🛡️ Overpressure Prevention Valve: Specifically designed to prevent overpressure situations. It activates at 0.63 MPa to release excess pressure, and is connected to the bilge for safe discharge, protecting the system and the ship.
- 🔧 Pressure Maintenance Charge Valve: Serves as the compressed air inlet for pressure maintenance. It is connected to the vessel’s compressed air system, ensuring a continuous supply of compressed air to maintain the desired pressure levels.
- 🚰 Complete Tank Drainage Discharge Valve: Enables complete tank drainage for maintenance operations. It is connected to the bilge system for safe water disposal, facilitating easy and efficient maintenance of the tank.
