Fincanteri order for Climeon WHRS
The cruise ship construction group purchased six Climeon Ocean 450M systems to be installed in its upcoming new cruise ships.
“At Fincantieri we continuously strive to improve our designs ensuring we maximize the value delivered to our customers. Working with Climeon is a way for us to deliver even cleaner and more energy efficient solutions,” said Fabrizio Cafagna, head of basic design at Fincantieri’s merchant ship business unit.
It is a heat power solution that generates electricity using waste heat from the ship’s engines delivering reduced fuel consumption as well as reduced emissions. The configuration is optimising energy efficiency and usage of heat onboard the ships.
Johan Larson, head of marine sales at Climeon, said: “For Climeon this order is a major step into the important Cruise Ship business.”
“Energy and environmental savings are an important factor for the future of the Cruise Ship business, we therefore see a lot of customer interests in our solutions.”
Climeon Ocean is based on new technology that converts hot water into 100% clean electricity. With its substantial energy and cost savings the solution has gained traction both for marine as well as land based applications.
In 2015 Frost and Sullivan presented Climeon with the Technology Innovation Award for best marine waste heat recovery solution.
Delivery of the systems to is expected to begin in 2017 and Fincantieri will be the first shipyard contracted to install Climeon Ocean on new cruise ships.
