This simulator is a practical addition to the Fresh Water Generators course, designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge through hands-on application. It recreates the operation of a desalination plant, allowing users to safely practice the key stages of starting, monitoring, and stopping the unit, as well as to understand the relationship between vacuum parameters, boiling temperature, and the quality of the produced fresh water.

Working with the simulator helps users to:

• Better understand the operational logic of the freshwater generator.

• Consolidate equipment control principles.

• Prepare for real-world operation of the unit onboard a vessel.

The simulator will be useful both for novice marine engineers and for experienced specialists looking to systematize their knowledge and gain confidence in working with desalination plants.

This desalination plant simulator is a fully functional software model installed on a PC running the Windows operating system. After installation, the user gains full control over the unit’s operation and the ability to practically apply all key theoretical principles — from managing vacuum and pumps to monitoring salinity and emergency modes.

The simulator is intended to consolidate theoretical knowledge and develop a practical understanding of the freshwater generator’s operation, closely mirroring real-world operating conditions onboard a ship.
