November 19, 2013
Helvetic group ABB has adjudicated two orders of the total value of 23 million dollars for the supply of systems of energetic recovery to install on 14 new portacontainer of cargo the unitary ability of 8.800 teu. Draft of seven ships ordered to the ship yard Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. (DSIC) and others seven ordered to the ship yard New Times Shipbuilding Co. (NTS) from the Chinese Lowers International Marine Containers (Group) Co. (CIMC) that they are rented to the shipowning society Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) ( on 4 July, 25 July and 13 september 2013)
ABB has emphasized that the employment of a system of recovery of the lost heat in order to increase the production of energy on board of the ships is becoming means more and more used in order to reduce the relative costs to the fuel since in the systems of naval propulsion about 50% of the released energy from the fuel comes lost in heat when it is converted in mechanical job from the main engine. Employing a system of recovery of the heat it is possible to recover until 4% of the lost energy produced the fuel and to transform it in electric power. Moreover a more efficient use of the energy involves also a reduction of the emissions of co2.
