RE: U-BOAT FRESH WATER

<HTML> Facilities for the manufacture and stowage of distilled water on the IX-C vessels are consideed most inadequate. One distilling unit, with a designed rating of 63.5 gallons per day, supplies all replacement battery water and fresh water for drinking or washing purposes. The total battery water stowage capacity is limited to 160 gallons.

The distiller functions on a vapor compression cycle with vaporization taking place under a small vacuum. I hope this helps in some way to your question. More later.</HTML>
