ContiOcean has successfully delivered its first 7000PCTC ship waste heat recovery system, a groundbreaking step towards reducing energy consumption and promoting green transformation in the marine industry. This innovative system captures waste heat generated by the ship’s main engine and converts it into electrical energy, contributing to the industry’s energy-saving and emission-reduction goals.
Innovative Design for Ship Engine Rooms
ContiOcean’s waste heat recovery system was designed with the compactness of ship engine rooms in mind. The team customized the design to fit within the limited space, utilizing a skid-mounted unit with a detachable design for easy installation and disassembly.
- Skid-mounted unit optimized for compact spaces.
- Detachable design enables quick assembly and installation inside the engine room.
This thoughtful design reduces installation time and enhances overall construction efficiency.
Advanced Technology for High Energy Efficiency
The system employs Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, using waste heat from sources like flue gas, jacket water, and air coolers to generate electricity. The high-efficiency turbine generator ensures effective conversion of waste heat into power, providing a reliable energy source for ships.
- ORC technology utilizes waste heat from multiple sources.
- High-efficiency thermoelectric conversion turbine for low electrical loss.
The system offers a sustainable solution by reducing the need for additional energy resources during ship operations.
Environmental and Operational Benefits
The system is designed to be both environmentally friendly and easy to operate. It uses a non-toxic, non-flammable working fluid with a low boiling point, requiring only low-grade heat above 75°C to generate electricity. Its intelligent, automated design ensures ease of use and long-term reliability.
- Uses environmentally friendly, low boiling point working fluid.
- Intelligent one-button start/stop function with data storage support.
The successful delivery of this system highlights ContiOcean’s commitment to advancing maritime environmental protection and contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions in the shipping industry.
