Climeon introduces modular waste heat recovery system
The Climeon HeatPower 300 Marine is an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery product optimised for marine conditions and designed to generate clean energy from onboard, low-temperature waste heat. It has a modular construction which allows for custom delivery of the product, optimised for the project specific ship design and operational profile.
The product can generate carbon-free electricity from waste heat at temperatures as low as 85 degrees Celsius, which enables clean energy to be generated solely from onboard jacket cooling water.
Like Climeon’s existing product, the HP 150, the Climeon HeatPower 300 features seamless automation due to its Climeon Live control system. Delivered as a solid, compact unit, Climeon HeatPower 300 can be integrated swiftly into newbuilds or as a retrofit and requires minimal maintenance, thus providing low OPEX costs and an attractive ROI, says the company. It gives shipowners the opportunity to meet increasing EEDI, EEXI and CII regulations while minimizing expenditure, avoiding operational disruption and future-proofing their vessels.
Climeon announced DNV type approval for its waste heat recovery technology last year. The Motorship examined the principles underlying the technology in an article here.
