MOL has won the 2014 Japan Society of Naval Architects
and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE) award for development of a waste heat energy
recovery system for marine diesel engines to generate electricity and assist
ship propulsion.
The system installed on a large-scale iron ore carrier
was jointly developed by the ocean liner, Namura Shipbuilding and Mitsubishi
Heavy Industry Marine Machinery & Engine Co, the shipping company said in a
statement.
The awards are given for excellent papers and research on
shipbuilding, marine engineering, general maritime affairs and officially
announced developments, inventions and ideas for new technologies.
The system recovers waste heat energy in the exhaust of
the main engine and generates electricity with a high-efficiency integrated
electric power generator, using a combination of exhaust gas and steam turbine.
The power generated is consumed not only to meet the
ship's demands but also to assist in propulsion by fitting the motor to the
crank shaft of the main engine.
The system is one of the steps taken towards future
marine engines in the ISHIN-III next-generation series of vessels that the
company announced in 2010.
