Re: Dessalator control panel product site glass

Kevin Schmit
 

Many thanks to all the very helpful comment, suggestion for this problem. Upon further investigation I found that my site glass is cracked. Per Tony’s post, I’ve emailed Stephan at CT Platon for replacement glass.




Regards,

Kevin

Hi,

I have had almost exactly this same issue except the product water was exiting at the bottom of the flow meter glass because it had shattered as in the picture.

I found replacement glass inserts with float directly from CT Platon in France - received them about a week ago. 77 euros each, min qty of 2 - a fix and a spare. Contact Stephan Liquard at CT Platon: s.liquard@...

All your o-rings should be lubricated using food grade silicon grease before inserting and re-assembling.

Also be aware that the plastic solenoid valve threaded inlet from the flow meter that directs the product either overboard or into the tank is susceptible to leaking also IF the system has been worked on previously as is the case with mine.

Re: "silentwind" generator & bracket (to fit SM mizzen) for sale

Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
 

Hi Chris, one thing I forgot to mention. The Super wind has an off switch for use in very strong winds or if service down stream needed and power needs to be turned off. It shorts the feed wires together which stops the blades (or dramatically slows them) and separates from the batteries.

I was fortunate to select a Super Wind and to place it on top of the mizzen. It is sient in all wind strength, and I mean silent  not heard at all. There is a yacht just down the marina from me with two mounted quite low. Walking past can't hear a thing.  It is vibration free, and I mean totally vibration free. It is designed for remote locations where maintenance is impractical. (Not sure if they were thinking about the top of a mast). It's  blades are geared and feather mechanically automatically, not by Blade distortion like some. The design has total feathering above 40 knots so no need to fear it self destruction in storm force wind. Mounting. There is an oblong plate on top of the mizzen that extends beyond the extrusion
 A hole in each corner and a matching plate on the bottom of the generator mast and you are done. I have a 5mm thick piece of hard rubber between. Nil  nil vibration. Output. The graph provided with the unit shows minimal output at 10 knots  good at 15, and excellent in wide 20 knots and above. I have two solar panels as well. Sunny and still, they do the work. Windy and cloudy  super wind does the job.Sunny and windy. Wow. I see you are in NZ. I am on the work berth Opua marina this week. You are welcome to visit. Pedigree is on the main marina with the same set up.lastly my first one lasted 10 years before the bearings wore and I replaced it.

Thanks for your reply Jose, I would be most interested in any ideas or comments.
 
I have numerous reasons for getting rid of the wind generator:
1.  I want to be able to able to fly the Mizzen Ballooner. 
2.  I now have Lithium Batteries & my electrician said the wind generator does not work well with Lithium. 
3.  Even though the wind generator is a "silentwind" it is not silent.
      - When the wind gets up to 25-30Kn it puts a vibration through the boat (only 10A~240W).
      - I also do not wish to annoy my neighbours (or my partner).
4.  Mostly it outputs between 3A-5A in 15Kn. In these conditions it is reasonably quiet. 
      - good for trade winds but not NZ.
 
Questions:
1.  Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to put the wind generator on top of the mast. I assume:
       - the Mizzen needs to be taken out,
          (probably only worth it if mizzen needs to be taken out for other reasons)
       - aluminium fabrication required. 
     Costly, I would love to know how much. Solar arch is also costly. 
2.  I assume to make this work for lithium:
       - Rewind the wind generator to a voltage significantly higher than 24V AC, (thinner wire, more turns??)
       - Rectify 3 phase AC into DC, 
       - then use MPPT so it is controlled along with the solar panels. 
     I would be interested if anyone has done this and integrated it into a LFP system.
3.  I would be interested how others found the noise & vibration. 
     Maybe it could be rubber mounted??
4.  Is it worth fixing/replacing? (cost/benefit??).
 
 
My Calcs (best guess):
In Trade wind areas 400W wind generator - is probably equivalent to 300W - 400W of solar   
In Non-Trade wind areas 400W wind generator is probably equivalent to 100W - 200W of solar
 
My Conclusions:
I suspect wind power, particularly for boats with LFP batteries & for boats outside the trades has had its day & once it is broken it is not worth fixing particularly if difficult fabrication (top of mizzen) is required.

Had the same issue on my Dessolator site glass. Martin , in Spain had the answer.
If you have the glass flowmeter and not the plastic one you are in luck. Simply Remove the sight glass panel  from the panel and you will see there are o rings on either end of the glass. Clean up any dirt or corrosion, replace the o rings and you are back in business.

Re: "silentwind" generator & bracket (to fit SM mizzen) for sale

Hi Chris, 

Be careful with Wind Generator (WG) charging of LiFePO batteries, you should be able to somewhat easily stop the blades from spinning when you need to.  
- Unlike Solar, WG always produces energy (given there is wind), this is why you will see diversion or "load bank" installed with WG. the way it works is that when regulator senses battery full, it temporarily diverts flow into the load bank. Load bank could be a set of resistors, or a water heater, or a fan that can take unwanted energy and "dump" it.
- MPPT won't work with WG out of the box. I spoke with few manufactures on this subject and they all said it's not going to work. During this process I also discovered that WG is not as popular as Solar and there are not that many options for WG regulators. Additionally most regulators are not designed to work with LiFePO batteries.  
- One thing with WG regulators is that in case of open circuit, the regulator will default into "unregulated voltage" mode. And this is where it gets very bad very quick.... a lot of people forget that LiFePO has a BMS and can shut off itself, in essence creating open circuit environment. In the case of Load Dump everyone immediately thinks of Engine Alternator and many forget about WG. 

One case you should be very aware of is that if your LiFePO battery charge gets full and then depending on BMS it can either shut off charging or charging and load. At this point all the energy from WG is no longer flowing into the battery and has to go somewhere. Usually before even getting to this point WG regulator should have sensed battery SOC and started diverting energy to the load bank, but image it did not. I think of a few reasons why it did not do its job. When wind is strong enough, i.e. good current flowing, this current blows the fuse to the WG regulator quickly. When this happens, WG regulator has no more power and the system defaults into open circuit mode, which results into "unregulated voltage" flowing through the circuit. If the wind blows 20-25knts the circuit will see 35-46V coming from the WG. if Red Switches are ON, this high voltage will start to flow into the circuit. At his point many electonics onboard are not going to like what they get Voltage wise.
That is one scenario, but even if you pop the breaker to WG and deal with the aftermath, the problem still continues, as I mentioned before, WG always produces energy and now this energy is not going anywhere. At this point, in the worst case scenario, WG can create fire, so to prevent this you either have to tie off blades or divert energy into the load bank. If you did not prepare for this scenario, electronic diversion (or some call it break) won't work, since regulator is no longer operational. so the only option will be to tie off the blades, which is not going to be an easy task given good wind and it wont be possible if WG is somewhere up hight on the mast. 

Hopefully this makes sense and you are aware of possible risks with WG charging of LiFePO.

I had more than one time an unpleasant experience with the SM main sail . The lower part of the furler tube of the main sail has come off from its place inside the mast during sailing upwind .  To keep it again inside the mast we putted the bow in the  wind than with a big effort, manually , we lowered the main sail strongly puling it down. 

This action pulled down also the swivel that has bring back the tube inside the mast .

I don’t think ( and I hope) that this problem could be  determined by a reduced resistance of the main mast that could generate a higher deformation of the mast slot with the exit of the furler tube .

This summer I had again this problem and I find that the main sail clew ring was  wrongly connected ( by the wite rope)  to the main sail clew ring  on the furler tube,  although this happened with the little reduced surface of the main sail  indeed with  the sail little rolled on the tube.   

After this episode I attached again the lower part of the  main sail on the master tube in what I think is correct mode and the furler tube is remained inside the must also sailing upwind with reduced and full main sail .

Please do you have some suggestion and idea on this problem .

Dear fellow Amel owners, 

Here I am, happy new owner of a 1982 Amel Sharki, the N° 68, named Manua.
My name is Marco Baldan and I am a humanitarian surgeon from Venice-Italy, with a strong passion for sailing life.
After multiple sailing experiences on friends boats, in 2011 I purchased in Holland a 27 feet Albin Vega that I upgraded for single-handed sailing and sailed, mostly alone from Holland to Italy in 2012. I eventually described this boat and the adventures I had with her in a book: The long route of the Spray and almost all I have discovered about this fantastic sailing boat: https://maredicarta.com/.../the-long-route-of.../t/170256
With the expansion of my family and my sailing ambitions, some two years ago, I started looking for more comfortable and larger blue water sailboats and read about the Amel Sharki. Thought this could be the right boat for me and looked for one to sail as a crew. Joined Manua on the Aegean Sea last year and got convinced so started searching the web for Sharki units for sale (at that time Manua was not for sale). Luckily for me, the previous owner contacted me earlier this year to inform me about his decision to sell her. Thanks to him, I could familiarize with Manua over some 10 weeks aboard and, after a survey by Olivier Beautè confirming the good conditions of the unit, I became her new happy owner :-)

1.  I want to be able to able to fly the Mizzen Ballooner. 
2.  I now have Lithium Batteries & my electrician said the wind generator does not work well with Lithium. 
3.  Even though the wind generator is a "silentwind" it is not silent.
      - When the wind gets up to 25-30Kn it puts a vibration through the boat (only 10A~240W).
      - I also do not wish to annoy my neighbours (or my partner).

Re: Raising the waterline on an Amel that lists to one side?

Craig Briggs
 

Years ago I mentioned our listing problem to a Ft Lauerdale pro who mostly dealt with power boats. His quick answer was, "just lead her over, like we (powerboaters) do", meaning to place some lead on the starboard side to offset the list, be it from a generator to port, a stern heavy arch, or, nowadays, light weigh of lithium batteries to starboard.

There are many options. On our SN the starboard forward hanging locker is perfect. Just build some sturdy racks outboard of where the clothes hang, anchored to the fore and aft bulkheads so no load is on the hull, and lash or bolt some lead bricks onto them. Many options are available - this one gets the weigh forward to lift the stern as well as offset the port list. I initially reacted negatively to his suggestion as added weight seemed anathama to having a fast boat - he simply asked if I was racing anymore. Not.

And, most likely, the waterline can stay at its original position.

Kevin,

I have not seen the Dessalator Flowmeter outside of the control panel, but I have seen others. They generally have a glued or threaded top. Before you order a new one, check what you have. 

They all have threaded IN & OUT connections. I would really like a photo. You can find liquid flowmeters in a lot of places including Amazon.

Hello Amelians,

just finished installing new membranes a couple weeks ago.  Watermaker was working fine until today.  

As I increase the pressure regulator I started noticing a stream of water running out of the top of the site glass.  I shut the unit down and removed the control panel and re taped and then tightened all of the water fitting connections.  Fired unit back up and still have the water leak.  It appears to be flowing out of the top of the sealed sight glass….?

Anyone else have this problem?  I guess I need a new site glass?  Thoughts?

I replaced the sheaves on my SM. I think the most important is to repolish the axles. After this, oiling the sheaves last again 1 season, before it was just 1or 2 weeks.
Dessalator control panel product site glass

Hello Amelians,

just finished installing new membranes a couple weeks ago.  Watermaker was working fine until today.  

As I increase the pressure regulator I started noticing a stream of water running out of the top of the site glass.  I shut the unit down and removed the control panel and re taped and then tightened all of the water fitting connections.  Fired unit back up and still have the water leak.  It appears to be flowing out of the top of the sealed sight glass….?

Anyone else have this problem?  I guess I need a new site glass?  Thoughts?

kind regards,
