Marine

In large cruise ships and vessels, there are large amounts of waste heat available from the internal combustion engines. The major part of engines to electric power with FlexiGen, the demand for auxiliary power is reduced and large fuel savings can be achieved. For each kWh of produced electric power with FlexiGen, about 2,5 kWh fuel can be saved on average.

Within the marine sector, fuel savings of up to 6% can be obtained.

Opportunities with FlexiGen in marine applications:

- FlexiGen is used for production of electric power from combustion engine waste heat when the backup chillers are on "standby", operation mode can easily be switched back to normal cooling mode if the demand occurs;

- Use of the chillers as heat pumps when the demand of heat exists on board, such as when the ship is docked or moving at low speed in cold waters.

- Low operating and maintenance costs

- No risk of disruption to existing processes
