Product Overview
The DN15 PN16 Standard Rubber Compensator is a specialized hygienic solution for marine potable water systems. On ocean-going vessels, fresh water produced by Fresh Water Generators (FWG) must be transported through non-toxic, bacteria-resistant pathways. This rubber expansion joint features a premium Food Grade EPDM liner that prevents chemical leaching, ensuring every drop of water remains pure and safe for crew consumption.
With a standardized 150mm length and CCS (China Classification Society) type approval, this flexible rubber joint is engineered for high-pressure (16 Bar) performance in engine room fresh water modules. The combination of medical-grade EPDM and SS316 stainless steel flanges provides ultimate protection against both internal fluid contamination and external salt-spray corrosion.
Key Features
- CCS Type Approved: Fully compliant with marine safety and hygiene standards, simplifying vessel surveys and ensuring potable water safety.
- Hygienic Food-Grade EPDM: Formulated to be odorless and non-toxic, preventing the migration of carbon black or chemicals into the drinking water.
- Anti-Corrosive SS316 Flanges: Specifically selected for shipboard environments to prevent rust and maintain a sterile connection interface.
- Standardized 150mm Geometry: A precision-molded standard part that ensures 100% “drop-in” compatibility for maintenance and repairs.
- Vibration & Thermal Compensation: Effectively absorbs high-frequency vibrations from water pumps, protecting small-diameter (DN15) piping from fatigue.
Applications
- Fresh Water Generators: Flexible links at the outlet of mineralizers and re-hardening filters.
- Potable Water Pressurization: Connecting shipboard pressurized water tanks (Hydrophores) to delivery headers.
- Marine Galley & Accommodation: Ensuring safe, flexible connections for drinking and cooking water lines.
FAQ
Q: Why is a “Food Grade” CCS-certified rubber compensator mandatory for shipboard fresh water systems?
A: Standard industrial joints can compromise shipboard life-support systems. Our food grade rubber expansion joint is essential due to:
- Preventing Chemical Leaching: Industrial rubber often releases oils and vulcanizing agents into water, especially in warm machine rooms. Our food grade EPDM ensures zero-toxicity, keeping the water’s taste and purity intact.
- Bacterial Growth Control: The ultra-smooth internal surface of our rubber compensator prevents the formation of biofilms and the growth of Legionella, which are common risks in maritime fresh water tanks.
- Survey Compliance: During CCS inspections, all non-metallic parts in the potable water line must prove their hygienic suitability. Our certified joint provides instant compliance and material traceability.
- SS316 Material Security: By using SS316 flanges, we ensure that no iron oxide (rust) enters the filtered water supply, maintaining the high standards required for potable water generators.
