In the HVAC system a range of actions can be taken both on new building and on existing vessels to maximize effiency. HVAC installations can be separated in two main areas:
Mechanical and Automation. Analysis of an installation in both of these areas will result in an energy optimized system.
Mechanical and automation
We use the following optimization tools:
-
System balancing (air, water), variable % of recirculation air
-
Implement the use of frequency converters, CO2 and temperature sensors to regulate flow (air, water)
-
Design improvements based on on-board experience (e.g. optimize calculation) & historical data on simultaneous factors
-
Engine room ventilation control systems
