20140262991 | Corrosion and contamination preventing apparatus and subsystem for watermaker systems - A corrosion and contamination preventing apparatus and subsystem including a conduit forming a watermaker flush-water flow path between a potable water supply and a feed water entry portion of a watermaker system, a filter/ion-generator component disposed along the flush-water flow path, a valve means for opening and closing the flush-water flow path, and a controller for sensing flush-water flow in the flow path, and in response thereto applying electrical power to an ion-generating element of the filter/ion-generator component. The filter/ion-generator component also includes a filter which filters undesirable chemicals from the potable water before the ion-generating element introduces copper and/or silver ions into the flush-water. The valve means may be manually operated or be controlled by a watermaker system shut down controller. | 09-18-2014 |
