Energy efficient ventilation Typical yard specification text for engine room ventilation:
Energy efficient ventilation Typical yard specification text for engine room ventilation: The machinery space to be ventilated by mechanical ventilating system. The ventilating fan to supply fresh air to the operating station and other necessary places in the engine room through air ducts. The air ducts to be of fabricated steel plate of 2.3 mm from the passage as far as practicable. The mean air velocity to be about 8 m/sec at the outlet of each branch duct.
Energy efficient ventilation Typical yard specification text for engine room ventilation: The machinery space to be ventilated by mechanical ventilating system. The ventilating fan to supply fresh air to the operating station and other necessary places in the engine room through air ducts. The air ducts to be of fabricated steel plate of 2.3 mm from the passage as far as practicable. The mean air velocity to be about 8 m/sec at the outlet of each branch duct. Such a specification is used by the yards to source and install the lowest cost components, without taking the power demand into consideration.
Engine room ventilation improvements Physical measurements were made onboard Laura Mærsk and Maersk Kuantan. Laura Mærsk has savings potential of 73kW: Air intake filters Inducers on the fan inlets. Remove rat nets on outlets. Change the impellers to the new design point. Maersk Kuantan has savings potential of 80kW: Higher efficiency electric motors, impellers and guide vanes. Replacing the inlet protection grills. Improve the outlets for fans 3 & 4 Control the fan capacity by frequency converters in relation to over pressure & temperature in the engine room. Further measurements are planned to be done onboard VLCC Maersk Nautilus Supplier of fans: not involved in designing the ventilation system/layout!
