ORC4SHIP
The project focuses on the development and optimal design of a heat-to-power system based on the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology, for recovering the waste heat from the cooling circuit of ships’ engines and converting it into electricity.
The benefit of the shipping companies that will adopt this technology is to reduce the fuel consumption of their fleet by 3-4%. At the same time, this new solution contributes to the enhancement of the ship's energy efficiency and to the reduction of pollutant emissions, which are subjected to strict regulations by the IMO.
About
Objectives
Development
of a 10-150kWe ORC4SHIP design methodology that will suit the requirements of different ships (in terms of type and size), while all possible parameters and limitations will be taken into consideration.
Optimum control
and full incorporation of the innovative technology in the ship’s energy management system.
Development of a prototype
ORC with power 15kWe for laboratory testing to confirm the reliability and the control system for automated operation.
Pilot deployment
of ORC4Ship onboard, where significant conclusions will be drawn relevant to its operation and the expected fuel savings.
Business plan development
and wide dissemination of the project’s results.
Objectives
Innovations
Innovations
-
ORC design for shipping.
-
Conservation of the system’s high efficiency for full and part load, depending on the gases’ thermal load.
-
Use of 4th generation organic fluid for the ORC, of type hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), with a very low GlobalWarming Potential (GWP ̴4).
-
Plug in-plug out design for easy, fast and low-cost establishment.
