Possibility to use engine compression ignition engines in floating power plants marine

Abstract

Compression-ignition engines used in ship technology as main propulsion engines are large units reaching even to 50-60 MW. The engines can be used in power industry for electricity generation in a simple or combined steam turbine system in combined heat and power plants. The leading engine in such an arrangement is an internal-combustion piston engine. The main propulsion engines are used in large piston internal-combustion engines burning heavy fuel. Currently, the efficiency of such engines amounts to 45-50%. With such a large power unit, exhaust gases leaving the engine contain very large quantities of heat available for further treatment. Another possible way of recovering the energy in the piston internal-combustion engine system is the use of a so-called low-temperature waste heat, for instance in an additional system covering general ship needs, including heating of the ship and/or heating of the utility water. The article considers the possible use of compression-ignition engines to drive the power generator. Because of the mobility of the plant it is possible to increase the production of electricity and heat in the so-called distributed system. The article also indicates the potential benefits from the use of power units.
