Alfa Laval AQUA Blue freshwater generators convert seawater into high-quality fresh water with an optimized process that occurs in a single plate pack. The AQUA Blue E2 freshwater generator applies the 3-in-1 AQUA plate technology in two stages, which shrinks its footprint and multiplies the green benefits. Using 50% less electrical power than conventional single- and two-stage freshwater generators, the AQUA Blue E2 produces 20–100 m3 of fresh water per day.
Energy-saving AQUA Blue benefits, multiplied by two stages
Twice the fresh water for a certain amount of waste heat – or the same amount using around half the waste heat
Retained production of fresh water on vessels that need to slow steam
Possibility to divert saved waste heat to the E-PowerPack (for generating electricity) or other heat consumers
Easy maintenance on board thanks to non-glued gaskets
50% less electrical power consumption than conventional freshwater generators
The AQUA Blue E2 freshwater generator has all the strengths of single-stage AQUA Blue E1 models, including AQUA plates with non-glued gaskets. But with two stages, it can provide twice as much fresh water for the waste heat energy put in – or the same amount of fresh water using around half the waste heat. This lets it support shipowners as they decarbonize.
The AQUA Blue E2 can meet an increased need for fresh water, but it can also support a range of green scenarios.
