Marine Engineering 2 Lab #1 Operations, Control and Performance Analysis of A Marine Evaporator

The document provides start up procedures for two types of marine evaporators: 1) A flash type evaporator. The 14 step procedure describes opening valves, starting pumps, adjusting temperatures, and monitoring distillate quality. 2) A flat plate submerged heat exchanger evaporator. The 7 step procedure involves establishing vacuum, starting pumps, admitting steam, and monitoring distillate quality. The document was written by Midn David Rigual for Professor Baumgart's Marine Engineering 2 lab class, analyzing operations, control and performance of marine evaporators.

Start up Procedures for a Flash Type Evaporator

1.) Open the brine and feed water valves.

2.) Make sure that all of the distillate and steam supply valves are closed.

3.) Start the feed water pump

4.) Start the brine pump and throttle the discharge in order to maintain a visible level

in the shell of the evaporator

5.) Open the vent on the distillate cooler about one turn.

6.) Open the vent on the after condenser.

7.) Admit steam to the air ejectors.

8.) Once vacuum has been raised to about 27 inches of mercury, admit steam to the

feed water heater.

9.) Adjust the temperature control valve on the steam inlet side of the feed heater so

that the feed water outlet is 170 °F.

10.) When condensate accumulates in the sight glass of the feed water heater

hot well, open the suction to the condensate pump and turn on the condensate

pump.

11.) Utilize the attemporator to lower the steam temperature to 5 °F above the

feed water heater temperature in order to avoid overheating the heat exchanger.

12.) When distillate accumulates in the sight glass, line up the distillate from

the evaporator to the bilge through the distillate pump.

13.) Turn on the distillate pump.

14.) When the salinity of the distillate falls below 0.25 gpg, line up the

distillate to the storage tanks and record the meter reading.


Start up Procedures for a Flat Plate Submerged Heat Exchanger

Evaporator.

1.) Shut the pet cock on the shell of the evaporator so that vacuum may be

established.

2.) Line up and start the feed water pump in order to establish a flow through the

unit.

3.) Line up and start the ejector pump in order to begin to raise vacuum.

4.) When vacuum has risen to 27 inches of mercury, admit steam to the unit.

5.) When a level of distillate is observed, line up the distillate to the bilge through the

distillate pump.

6.) Start the distillate pump.

7.) When the salinity of the distillate has fallen below 0.25 gpg, line up the distillate

to the storage tanks.
