Product Introduction:

The variable-frequency, energy-saving system for the main engine cooling seawater pump is a prime example of “refined energy management” on ships. By shifting from the conventional “extensive,” constant-flow cooling approach to an intelligent, demand-based regulation strategy, it achieves:

Energy conservation and cost reduction (reducing fuel consumption)

Steady-State Operation (Optimizing Main Engine Performance)

Reduce maintenance (lower equipment wear)

Green and environmentally friendly (reducing carbon emissions)

With fuel costs remaining persistently high and environmental regulations—such as EEXI and CII—becoming increasingly stringent, these high-return energy-efficiency technologies are emerging as the preferred solutions for both newbuilds and retrofits of existing vessels.

Classification Society: ABS

Three variable-frequency drives are used to independently control three 37-kW seawater pumps, operating in a redundant “two-for-one-backup” configuration to enhance system stability. Simultaneously, PID control compares the measured actual temperature with the setpoint and makes real-time fine adjustments to the pump speeds, thereby maintaining the main engine cooling water temperature at a more precise and stable setpoint. This approach achieves energy savings and emission reductions.
