Shipboard Reverse Osmosis System

From Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.
 

 

Hoffer Flow Controls is a supplier of flow products to various agencies within the U.S. government including the Navy. We have supplied flowmeters and flow switches for a number of shipboard applications. Our customers, along with the U.S. Navy, include prime contractors such as Ingalls Shipbuilding, Bath Iron Works, and Newport News Shipbuilding. Systems supplied to these customers include fuel flow measurement systems for the propulsion plant, missile cooling systems, trim and drain systems and flow switches for use in the fire control system.

Most recently, we have worked with a major supplier of reverse osmosis ("R/O") systems for use on the U.S. Navy DDG-51 Class Destroyer. This class of ship, which carries weaponry for battle, is 505 feet overall in length and carries a crew of 341. Hoffer is supplying the turbine flowmeters used on both the supply and discharge sides of the R/O systems. The R/O systems will handle "all" shipboard water requirements. The supply side flowmeters are suitable for use on seawater, thus, they are constructed of naval brass and monel. These materials provide long life against seawater's corrosive nature. The flowmeters on the discharge side are constructed of 316 stainless steel and will meter the potable water.


Products & Services
Liquid flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid. Search by Specification | Learn more about Liquid Flow Meters
Positive displacement flow meters measure the volume or flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes. These devices consist of a chamber that obstructs the media flow and a rotating or reciprocating mechanism that allows the passage of fixed-volume amounts.
