Abstract

A fuel efficiency of a ship engine increases with cooling inlet air. This might be performed by the chillers, which transform the heat of engine exhaust gas and scavenge air for refrigeration. The effect gained due to cooling depends on the intake air temperature drop and the time of engine operation at decreased intake air temperature. Thus, the cooling degree hour (CDH) number, calculated as air temperature depression multiplied by the duration of engine operation at reduced intake air temperature, is used as a primary criterion to estimate the engine fuel efficiency enhancement due to intake air cooling over the ship routes. The engine intake air cooling potential is limited by its value, available according to engine exhaust heat and the efficiency of heat conversion to refrigeration in the chiller, evaluated by the coefficient of performance (COP). Therefore, it should be determined by comparing both the needed and available values of CDH. The ejector chiller (ECh) was chosen for engine exhaust gas heat recovery to refrigeration as the simplest and cheapest, although it has a relatively low COP of about 0.3 to 0.35. However, the ECh generally consists of heat exchanges which are mostly adapted to be placed in free spaces and can be mounted on the transverse and board side bulkheads in the ship engine room. The values of sucked air temperature depression and engine fuel consumption reduction at varying temperatures and humidity of ambient air on the route were evaluated.
