What is a Thermocompression Type Water Distillation Equipment Set?

A Thermocompression Type Water Distillation Equipment Set (DISTILLATION EQUIPMENT SET,WATER,THERMOCOMPRESSION TYPE) is a collection of equipment consisting of a distillation unit(s), pumps, hoses, hand tools, hardware, pipe, pipe fittings, well drilling equipment, tanks and hypochlorination units, and other items to make up a complete distillation installation.

What is a Thermocompression Battery-Boiler Water Distillation Unit?

A Thermocompression Battery-Boiler Water Distillation Unit (DISTILLATION UNIT,BATTERY-BOILER WATER,THERMOCOMPRESSION) is a water distilling unit which consists of an assemblage of components incorporating electric motor driven pumping units and electric heating units to evaporate raw sea or brackish water and heat exchangers to condense the vapor into distillate. The distillate product must be of sufficient purity to be suitable for use in marine boilers and storage batteries. The unit operates on cycle phases that preclude its capacity being rated at intervals other than one day.

What is an Osmosis Desalination Vessel?

An Osmosis Desalination Vessel (VESSEL,DESALINATION,OSMOSIS) is a pressure vessel used in the removal of saltwater using the osmosis process.

What is an Osmosis Desalination Distillation Unit?

What is a Salinity Detector Cell?

A Salinity Detector Cell (CELL,SALINITY DETECTOR) is a sensor designed to detect the salt content of water by means of electrodes. The item has a threaded fitting for direct pipe connection. It is electrically connected to a PANEL, SALINITY MONITORING SYSTEM, SHIPBOARD that may activate a dump valve to discharge poor quality water. For cells without a valve see CELL, AND VALVE ASSEMBLY, SALINITY DETECTOR.

What is a Salinity Detector Cell And Valve Assembly?

A Salinity Detector Cell And Valve Assembly (CELL AND VALVE ASSEMBLY,SALINITY DETECTOR) is a combination sensor and valve designed to detect the salt content of water by means of electrodes. The valve allows removing the cell in an operating system. It is electrically connected to a PANEL, SALINITY MONITORING AND ALARM SYSTEM, SHIPBOARD that may activate a dump valve to discharge poor quality water. The item may include a plug, nipple, cable and the like. For cells without a valve see CELL, SALINITY DETECTOR.

Additional Information for Water Distillation Equipment, Marine and Industrial

NATO Supply Class 4620 refers to Water Distillation Equipment, Marine And Industrial, which falls under NATO Supply Group 46 for Water Purification And Sewage Treatment Equipment.

Water distillation equipment is used to purify water by the process of distillation, which involves heating water to create steam and then condensing the steam back into liquid form. This process helps remove impurities and contaminants from the water, making it suitable for various applications.

The specific focus of NATO Supply Class 4620 is on water distillation equipment designed for marine and industrial use. This means that the equipment is specifically designed to meet the unique requirements and challenges of purifying water in marine environments, such as on ships or offshore platforms, as well as in industrial settings.

Water distillation equipment in this class may include various components and features to ensure efficient and effective water purification. This can include heating elements, condensers, storage tanks, pumps, and control systems. The equipment may also be designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, such as corrosion-resistant materials and robust construction.

NATO Supply Group 46, under which this class falls, encompasses a broader range of water purification and sewage treatment equipment. This group includes various types of equipment and systems used for water treatment, including filtration systems, chemical treatment equipment, and sewage treatment plants.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 4620 for Water Distillation Equipment, Marine And Industrial, is a specific category within NATO Supply Group 46 for Water Purification And Sewage Treatment Equipment. It focuses on water distillation equipment designed for marine and industrial applications, providing efficient and effective water purification in challenging environments.
