Components of Marine Calorifier

Components of Marine Calorifier


Marine calorifiers are an important equipment on ships.

It is mainly used for storing and supplying hot water to meet the daily life and work needs of the crew on board.

Marine calorifiers are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and have good heat preservation performance to reduce heat loss and maintain the temperature of hot water.

The working principle is generally that through the ship's heating system, such as the utilization of waste heat from the main engine, fuel or electric heating, the water is heated and then stored in the calorifier.

On some larger ships, multiple calorifiers may be equipped to meet the hot water needs of different areas or different purposes. 

This article will introduce to you Components of Marine Calorifier.

Overview

Marine calorifiers are usually composed of the following main components:

  • Cabinet:

  1. Generally made of strong metal materials, such as stainless steel or carbon steel, it is used to hold water and support other components, while playing the role of protection and isolation.

  • Heating elements or heat exchangers:

  1. Electric heating type: Resistance wires, heating tubes, etc.

  2. Steam heating type: Steam coils.

  • Temperature sensors:

  1. Used to monitor the water temperature and transmit the temperature signal to the control system to control the working status of the heating element.

  • Control system:

  1. Including thermostats, relays, etc., it controls the start and stop of heating according to the feedback of the temperature sensor.

  • Safety valve:

  1. When the internal pressure of the hot water cabinet exceeds the set value, the safety valve automatically opens to release the pressure and prevent danger.

  • Water level sensor:

  1. Monitors the water level in the hot water cabinet to ensure that the water level is within the safe range.

  • Inlet and outlet pipes and valves:

  1. The inlet pipe is used to inject water into the hot water cabinet.

  2. The outlet pipe conveys hot water to the required places.

  3. Valves are used to control the inflow and outflow of water and flow regulation.

  • Insulation layer:

  1. Usually made of materials such as asbestos and foam plastic to reduce heat loss and maintain water temperature.

  • Blowdown valve:

  1. Used to periodically discharge sediments and impurities at the bottom of the hot water cabinet to keep the water clean.
