(electric safety requirements) 3.6 Features of the product The water produced by a Schenker plant, produced from clean seawater has a high purity but the potability may not be guaranteed as bacterium may be present in the watermaker, caused by non-observance of shutdown and cleaning procedures.
Functioning principles The Schenker watermakers, as an alternative to the high-pressure pumps of traditional systems, utilizes the ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM patented device, which amplifies the pressure of common low-pressure pumps, and recoup all the hydraulic energy back from the membranes, allowing a high energy efficiency.
The device has to be pre-charged with air through the Schrader valve. The pressure is about 6 Bar. The accumulator is preloaded in factory to the correct pressure. Schenker Italia THE PRESENT MANUAL BELONGS TO -...
