Brother your english is very clear. Keep it up bro. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for your support my friend!
I try my best so that everything is understandable for all English speakers as well as subtitles for my brothers and sisters in my country of Venezuela.
@@ShrimptoShark keep rocking🎸🎶🎶 my Venezuela🇻🇪 mate👬
Great channel sir, really helps learning a lot in less time❤️
That's the idea! Learn by seeing the machines directly in the engine room..hope to be a part of many newbies formation. Success my friend
Nice partner im also an engineer in bulk, you did a good job more videos
Thats great bro, one of my best friends works in bulk and it is hard work, success always and god bless.
Oww!great work
Thank you Shakeel! Success dude
That was great bro
Ufff it's just the beginning haha, hope to see more engineers and cadets sharing as well.. The engine room is a fascinating place.
Success my friend Theo
Nice
thank you sir
Happy to help in any small way, jose!
Thank you brother make more impormational video like this , always supporting you
Thank you for the support brother, hope to share lots more jobs when things calm down..
really great buddy wishing you all success ahead
vishnu ks thank you amigo! Your comment is very much appreciated, success and nothing else to you!
Tnq bro, now only i understood clearly...
REYAZ MARINER I try my best dude.. Thank you so much for your comment, success!
Fwg very important onboard vessel.. Well explained dude,🐒
Good job.. Keep going.
Thank you very much dude! I try to keep the explication simple and easy to understand, hopefully it can help many newbies like me in the future!
Best fwg explanation seen till now
Thank means a lot Ravindra.. It makes me very happy to hear that
Im so disappointed to myself that i hadn't subscribed here years ago. I could've easily learned something already. anyways, Im doing it now. Goodluck and Many many more educational and informative videos to come. Im keeping an eye on every videos you upload. Greetings from a graduating student in Philippines 🙏
Hope you had a wonderful adventure bro! Success and nothing else engineer 😎
nice and easy
Hahah thank you, that is my goal!
Bro! your vids are awesome! subscribed! I'm a cadet aswell although I'm still struggling with the theory in classroom haha
Dude in the classroom its hard to imagine all these things. I understand what you mean hahaha..hopefully more cadets will be able to share a little of their experience and knowledge acquired like I have..then future cadets will have nothing to worry about.
Revising for my Orals and stubbled across this page I am so happy I have so clearly explained
I try my best, as I grow I notice a few things I could improve but let's see, step by step. Thanks for the support Jamie, success and nothing else.
@@ShrimptoShark did u become a 4eo by now
Good
Thank you, Miz! Success and nothing else
Bro hope you doing great now onboard, can you also vlog about the boiler system bro? It helps a lots especially to the aspiring engineers soon. God bless bro waiting for your response.
Amen brother and of course that's the plan another basic overview on the boiler/steam system with emphasis on a tanker vessel with a steam turbine discharge system. I feel like I need a few more clips for that but it will come for sure.
Nice bro next system of purifier
Just uploaded a video on purifiers dude
Im ever work in pt.sasakura indonesia and i anderstand about this F WG i like it👍👍
Hahaha thanks true my friend, I also like this FWG, however I'm sure I must adapt to other ones in the future! Success amigo
Good video , upload about copt or indicator diagrams sir 🙂
Sure dude, when those things come to my responsibility then I will upload them, I will then have more freedom to film.
Heey mate can i have some question,
How the vacuum being operating in f.w.g i am still confusing of this one hahaha lol.. i am a new cadet so i don't know much about that... Thank you
what kind of evaporation tank will be use in a sewage treatment plant, and how it works .. thanks
Evaporation tank in a sewage plant.. Whaaaaaaat😱 no idea my friend but sounds very interesting if you find the answer please share! 😀
Excelente explicación! Me quedo solo una duda, en el potabilizador... cuales son los minerales?
Muchas gracias Agustín y sobre su duda en el buque usábamos un mineral que se llama Dolomite (contiene Calcio y Magnesio los cuales son muy importante para dar dureza al agua como mencionado en el video).
Muchas gracias Señor. Ayudó a un cadete de cubierta intentando aprender sobre maquinas en plena cuarentena cuarentena 😂. Saludos cordiales!
nice video informative im oiler im always drink water from fresh water safe or not
Be careful of bacterias! But if you have a responsable team there is no worries! 🤗
Hey dude it's a nice video can I request to make you a video regarding Marine diesel engine working principles with a diagram thank you
Hahaha maybe a very basic video, unfortunately / fortunately it's not my responsibility yet and I still have much to learn about the main engine!
Hi sir , im a little bit confused on who creates the vacuum inside the evaporator shell is it the eductor or ejector pump ☹️
The ejector pump sends flow to the ejector and due to its design it creates a venturi effect which causes a suction in the shell.. This suction creates a vacuum
I first time a see familar type of FWG. It's cheap variant?
Well this is a class A vessel from Korea I don't think this sasakura is a cheap variant.. Now I'm in an older vessel and I am working with alfa laval desalt freshwater generators which seem to be common.
brother, can you pls tell me the pressure/leak test procedure? so that i can find out leakage in evaporator or condenser tube?
Its best to follow the manual instructions hopefully in the future I can upload a video on a specific model and it can be used as a guide.
@@ShrimptoShark you replied me 11 months later, i understand you are too busy
Sir pls make video about lube oil purifier diesel oil purifier in full detail information for example construction parts of purifier working etc.
It's now my official responsibility, with a good camera and hopefully some free time and better internet at home I will make this video.
No Hollywood showers on this ship. LOL
Hahahahahahahaha! Nooo, not unless you work on a cruise ship! Nice comment my friend
Nice Video. What is the typical capacity of a FW tank ? How many days does the tank capacity last ? Is the desalinator on 24 * 7 ?
Thank you dude, and to answer your question FW tanks vary in size depending on the vessel, the tanks I've been in without production will last usually 13 to 20 days (more if rationed) however usually these fresh water generators are running to keep these tanks full. And finally these fresh water generators are usually only placed on when navigating or anchored away from Port.. In dirty waters one should avoid using this equipment.
@@ShrimptoShark Thanks for your response. Does the FWG start automatically when the water in the FWT reaches a particular level or is it a manual process ?
Also, does your ship have redundancies or a single FWG ? I have noticed some ships having a mineralizer in addition to a FWG.
I can't speak for all vessels but the ones I've been on the starting process is all manual, first make vaccum and cooling, then allow heating medium in and monitor parameters, then extract and monitor destilled water.
I have been however on Ships with 2 fresh water generators but in this video there was only 1 in the vessel.
All ships should have a way to make drinking water from destilled water to use in the galley (kitchen) however I'm only sharing from my limited experience on Ships.
Bro!
How are you doing
Hope you will be fit and fine.
waiting badly for your more intresting vidios, please upload more vidios.
Hello my friend I just uploaded one about purifiers I hope it received well.. Thanks for the support dude
Bro make a video abot engine reversing and maneuvering
Amigo thank you for your faith, however I'm just an engine cadet.. That responsibility is for the Boss 2nd engineer.. I could try but the possibility of making mistakes are very high.. I generally stick to what an engine cadet should know..the basics and as I grow I'll try to tackle the harder stuff. I hope you understand
Can you tell me how much vaccum pressure inside the FWG? Thanks in advance.
Hello my friend, depending on your FWG (there are many models) this one is Sasakura and works with -0.7 to -0.8 bar vaccum causing water to evaporate at below 80 degrees.
This vacuum is altered however by deposits or clogs that are formed either on the bottom of the shell or the secondary pipe that goes to the ejector after the condenser as you could see in the video.
Some problems with vacuum are usually that it's not being generated or it can be adjusted finely by a small vacuum control valve.
@@ShrimptoShark my last contract I adjusted vacuum -0.95, temp in chamber 50 C, jacket inlet around 88 out 76, sea water 30-32, feed water rate 6.2 c.m./h it did not work if vacuum is less same as temperature rises too high (over 60) . production was around 20 cubic meters.
@@glebvoloshyn3561 Heya dude.. I don't really understand what you mean.. If vaccum is higher then the water will evaporate faster turning into steam at lower Temps.. Then the temperature would rise faster no?
@@glebvoloshyn3561 if temp was to high I would usually drop vaccum or open more the bypass from ME jacket water so less heating fluid would enter the evaporator. (however now that I think of it more vacuum could allow faster phase change of seawater which absorbs more heat when changing the from liquid to vapor thus lowering the temperature of the shell, not very sure though.. My main action would usually be to open the bypass)
Bro can you put a video related to purifier
This is a long term project but yeah one day soon.
Can u tell me about electrode in FWG sir?
Not all FWG are the same dude.. The ones I have been Onboard have not used electrodes.. Only electric component is the salinometer sensor which messures the salinty of the distalate water
Can you explain Effect of sea water temperature on production of fresh water
Colder water requires more energy to evaporate, therefore it may be necessary reduce the amount sent to the evaporator so that the heat received is enough to produce steam. However in artic weather there is more problems! Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) the area I was in was Europe - not too cold 😁
Aye you are somewhat correct, the if there is a bigger temperature difference between the condenser inlet and outlet (seawater) then there will be more condensate(distillate) production.
However the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of the Evaporator shell is higher because you need to heat the seawater more. If you lower the feed rate you can achieve this with main engine cooling water (usually 80 degrees) if you keep putting more feed water (to increase distillate production) you risk cooling down the engine causing slow down.
Some vessels have an optional Steam line to bypass this problem which would in that case be like you say slowly raising temperature and then increasing distillate production.
Bro.. you you create vacuum and temperature will be down , when you give flow of sea water its mean make normal temperature again
how do you make heat 80degrees to make boiling water ?
Which type of fw ??
this is a flash type FWG using plate heat exchangers.
Hi...what is your name...and where are u from?....
Hello friend, my name is Rafael and I'm at the moment a 4th engineer in Venezuela, just came back a while back from my 1st contract as an officer.
You speak like an American.
Hahah raised in Connecticut my friend
Did not understand operation... Make it simple video
Awww that is unfortunate.
