Calnetix Waste Energy Converter

Posted by Irina Tabakina

Calnetix Technologies showcased at SMM 2014 a new system developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery and Engine company (MHI-MME) that captures heat from marine engine jacket water and converts it to electricity for shipboard consumption. 
The Hydrocurrent system produces up to 125 kW of power for the ship’s electrical load, while still leaving sufficient heat in the jacket water for the fresh water maker. The system pays for itself in a very short time by reducing the load on the ship’s bunker-fueled generators, resulting in fuel savings of up to 200 tons per year. It can be retrofitted easily in existing ships with a minimum of downtime.
