Intelligent control of ventilation and cooling at container ships
The project develops a system for energy-efficient, intelligent demand based control of ventilation and cooling in container ships.
The project develops a system for energy-efficient, intelligent demand based operation of ventilation and cooling on container ships.
The potential for reducing fossil fuels is markedly high. For the shipping company Maersk alone, the potential is expected to be between 0.36 and 0.53 million tons of CO2, corresponding to between 0.75 and 1.1% of Denmark's total emissions.
The main activities include system and technology development, demonstration and documentation. Including method for selection and dimensioning solutions for existing ships, as well as specifications of requirements for new constructions at Korean or Chinese shipyards, and a study of market barriers.
The developed system includes IR camera-based analysis units, an intelligent control, and digital interfaces for controlling the ventilation and cooling technologies, and the effect in accommodation, working areas, engine rooms and cargeholds.
The results are primarily aimed at the renovation and new construction of container vessels, but the results can be used in other ship categories. Thus, the export potential is large.
