Energy efficiency
Advancing towards fuel savings and efficient operations
Our energy-saving solutions within heat transfer, separation and fluid handling provide a range of benefits :
- Enhanced vessel efficiency
- Remarkable fuel savings & improved financial performance of the vessel
- Reduced emissions and environmental impact. This improves Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating and meets IMO’s Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Energy Efficiency Existing Index (EEXI) standards.
- 24/7 Service & Support for optimized operations
Enhance onboard energy efficiency with our innovative technologies
From waste heat to added value
Alfa Laval’s boiler technology can help save up to 14% on energy use and carbon emissions by maximizing waste heat recovery from main and auxiliary engines. This technology benefits both the bottom line and the environment, without compromising onboard safety.
Efficient heating & cooling for peak performance
Alfa Laval marine heat exchangers draw on more than 100 years of innovation in heating and cooling technology. With our dedicated R&D, expect the highest performance and extended service life through optimal heat transfer and reduced fouling.
Real savings and reduced emissions with air bubbles
Alfa Laval OceanGlide is a unique air lubrication system that saves 8–12% fuel with fluidic technology. It creates a layer of micro air bubbles under the vessel, reducing friction and drag. This improves ship’s efficiency, lowers fuel costs, supports decarbonization and reduces marine noise.
Turning waste heat into clean electricity
Reduce fuel consumption, emissions and improve EEDI/EEXI and CII by converting onboard waste heat directly into electrical power with our advanced heat recovery based on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology. The power can be generated from both high & low-temperature sources on board.
