The Spectra Cabo-10,000 watermaker is designed for use in seagoing vessels or
platforms. Feed water must be supplied to the system a minimum of 20 gpm (76lpm)
at ≈20psi (1.4 Bar) pressure. The machine separates the feed water into two
streams; product and brine. The brine stream contains the dissolved solids removed
from the product water. Brine flow may be as high as 13 gpm (50L/min) and should be
discharged above the waterline. The system requires a small amount of back pressure
on the brine stream so plumb the discharge accordingly. Long runs in solid tubing will
require a vacuum break so as to not create any suction at the brine discharge.
Cabo 10,000
frame is constructed of powder coated 304 stainless steel and must be
positively fixed in place. includes the Spectra Pearson Pump, Motor and Belt drive
system coupled to three 8” x 40” seawater membranes. All high pressure connections
between the membranes and the pump come pre-assembled and tested. The high
pressure hoses use 1” JIC 37 deg. flare fittings.
20” Pre-filter Housings
are two 5 micron filter
housings plumbed in parallel. The filter housing
lids have a spring loaded “purge” button to
released air from the filters. Do not install the
filters above any electrical devices as some water
will be spilled when changing the filters or purging
air.
Note that filter housings should always be
tightened hand tight, do not use the wrench. If the
housing leaks when hand tightened then the o-
ring needs to be cleaned and greased (silicone
grease only). A small amount of silicone grease
on the threads will also help the housing to seal by
hand tightening.
Boost Pump assembly
is to be
installed below the water line in
seagoing vessels. The pump will fail if
there is any suction on the inlet so be
sure the pump is completely flooded at
all times. Land based systems will be
supplied with Jet pump (that have a
suction head limit of 10 ft.) or a well
pump based on the specific customer
requirements.
