RESOURCES SAVING WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM FOR CONDITIONING THE AIR AT THE INLET OF DIESEL ENGINE OF TRANSPORT SHIP

A.N. Radchenko, D.V. Konovalov

Cooling and drying the air at the inlet of turbocompressor of marine diesel engine by waste heat recovery air conditioning system utilizing the heat of exhaust gases has been analyzed. A possibility to receive a fresh water by condensing the steam from humid air during its cooling in the surface heat exchanger at the inlet of discharge turbocompressor was shown. The amount of condensate received and temperature drop in the air at the inlet of turbocompressor at the temperature and humidity of ambient air changeable on the ship rout and reduction in fuel consumption of diesel engine were calculated.

Key words: cooling, drying of air, steam condensation, heat utilization, waste heat recovery air conditioning system, diesel engine.
