HP SC260/2 LT/H 260 Desalinator - code: HP SC260-2 - HP Watermakers

HP SC260/2 LT/H 260 desalination unit (HP SC260-2) – HP Watermakers

The HP SC260/2 desalination unit of the series SC (Super Compact) is a solution designed for those looking for a desalination system with compact dimensions and a design approach oriented towards installation practicality. The SC series is described as extremely versatile: it can be used on vessels of all types and, depending on system requirements, also in land-based contexts such as houses and resorts.

This model is offered with identification HP SC260-2 and belongs to the range HP Watermakers by HP HIGH PRESSURE LTD.. The unit is also indicated as prepared for complete automation thanks to compatibility with RP TRONIC®, a useful feature when you want to integrate the desalination unit into a system with more advanced management and centralized controls.

Features and construction details

The SC series is born with an approach compact and oriented towards ease of integration in technical spaces where accessibility and system order matter as much as performance. In particular, the presence of high-quality components and a structure designed to be easy to install.

SC Series (Super Compact): design philosophy

• Compact size for installations in confined technical spaces or with space constraints.
• Versatility of use in the nautical field and in land applications (e.g., homes, resorts), depending on the system configuration.
• Automation readiness with declared compatibility with RP TRONIC®.

Membranes and configurability of the series

The available documentation indicates that the SC series can be equipped with osmotic membranes up to a production of 440 lt/h with four 31540 membranes. This data describes the maximum capacity of the series in a specific configuration; the actual configuration of the model in question must be evaluated based on the planned setup and system requirements.

Available technical data (from datasheet)

• Flow rate: 260 lt/h
• Nominal flow rate: 332 lt/h
• Daily flow rate: 6240 lt/day
• Nominal daily flow: 7968 lt/day
• Installed power: 2.2 kW
• Total weight: 72
• Dimensions: 1060X435X430

Typical applications

The HP SC260/2 desalination unit is suitable for contexts where fresh water production is desired onboard or in dedicated technical plants, with particular attention to space management and automation capability. The SC series is described as suitable for a wide range of uses, from recreational boating to more structured installations, up to land applications where the availability of fresh water can be an operational need.

• Boating: boats of various types, with installation in a technical room or dedicated compartment.
• Land systems: homes and resorts, where a compact system can facilitate integration into existing plant spaces.
• Integration in automated systems: when more advanced management is expected thanks to compatibility with RP TRONIC®.

Operational advantages

Concrete benefits during design, installation, and system management.

• Space optimization: the compact structure helps manage complex technical spaces, typical of onboard systems.
• Neater installation: a unit designed to be “easy to install” facilitates component arrangement and routine maintenance.
• Component quality: the series is described with high-quality components, a relevant element for systems intended for continuous use.
• Preparedness for full automation: useful for those who want to integrate the desalination system into a centralized control and management logic (compatibility with RP TRONIC®).
• Versatility of use: declared use both in nautical environments and on land, depending on the project.

Usage and installation notes

For correct installation, it is advisable to plan the project considering the available spaces, accessibility for maintenance, and possible integration with automation systems. The SC series is designed to be compact and prepared for automated management: during system configuration, it can be useful to verify how and where to insert control components and the expected interfaces.

Practical indications (general)

• Evaluate the space requirements in relation to the declared dimensions and the space needed for connections and technical access.
• Ensure accessibility for inspections and routine interventions, avoiding installations that are too “closed”.
• Consider automation: if automatic management is desired, plan integration with RP TRONIC® during the project phase.
• Membrane configuration: the SC series supports configurations with osmotic membranes; the choice must be defined based on the setup and application needs.
