Factors Affecting the Performance of Fresh Water Generator in Merchant Vessel

Summary/Abstract: The research was aimed (1) to analyze the effect of distillate pump performance on the performance of fresh water generator; (2) to analyze the effect of ejector pump performance on the performance of fresh water generator; and (3) to investigate the effect of distillate pumps and ejector pumps joint performance on the performance of fresh water generator. The data were obtained through questionnaire of 67 students who had completed their one year shipboard training on merchant vessels. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistics 16.0 version. The results showed that the variable of distillate pump performance positively affected the performance of fresh water generator reaching 39%. The variable of ejector pump performance also positively affected the performance of fresh water generator reaching 43.5%. The independent variables of this research were the performance of the distillate pump (X1) and the ejector pump (X2) which jointly affected the performance of the water generator reaching 60.5%.
