boiler and seawater

[Bhatou Hammersbald]

i cant pump seawater into the boiler.... can i convert sea-water into fresh-water ?

[Teamkiller]

You have condenser

Trust me irl this wouldn't be good and hopefully you won't get a boiler explosion

[Teamkiller]

More over - you can convert disel into fresh water!

Oh... Well that sucks. Guess that explains why my emergency reversion wasn't working while troubleshooting this broken f@%^ing update.

I had emergency valves which would pump seawater directly into the boiler, and then blow it off as exhaust rather than try to condense it. I'm pretty sure real warships used to do this in emergencies when the freshwater components failed in combat. It was only as a short term solution since the salt would obviously basically foul up and start to destroy the components.

I guess this simplifies my design at least.

We should still be able to convert sea water into fresh water just like in real life. It wouldn't be that hard to implement and it would make this already stupidly heavy engine system weight a tiny bit less.

You would likely use more energy in reverse osmosis based desalination than your boiler is producing in power to begin with.

There's a reason why desalination plants are extremely rare and expensive things.

Rare not very they're on every ocean going ship, used by armies and navy's as fixed equipment or in mobile containers and even some cities implement them, expensive and maintenance heavy sure. But not rare

Desalination plants are buildings built for the express purpose of desalination.

"Since 1990, Salt Separation Services has been successfully designing and manufacturing seawater reverse osmosis (RO) desalination systems (‘water-makers’) and other water treatment equipment for use on-board naval vessels throughout the world."

Yes, these are not desalination

plants

which was clearly stated in the original message.

I already emphasized the "plants" in italics in the reply. Is this emphasis enough now?

"The ships that use a desalination plant will pump and pressurize water from the ocean to get it ready for filtration.

The filtration process can involve techniques like reverse osmosis."

They are misnomering. A plant's definition is "a location where an industrial or manufacturing process takes place", a location here meaning a structure. The word "plant" in this context always refers to a structure. "A car plant" can't exist inside a ship, for instance, even if the ship somehow was manufacturing cars.

Apologies if this is confusing to someone who doesn't speak English at a very high level. I'd say "natively", but i'm not a native English speakers, and i think most English natives don't speak at my level.

I don't understand the point of this argument. First, "Plant" does not have have to refer to a stationary building. Think of a "Power Plant" on a submarine. Second, what does this have to do with whether or not desalinators are a good idea for steam power?

There is quite the difference between a desalination plant and a desalination system.

As stated plants are ground structures. And yes they do exists and are becoming more frequent in big cities facing water shortages and high water demand.

And yes pretty much all big ships have desalination systems onboard.

And a ship that produces product onboard is called a processor ship/factory ship.
