Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Engine Co., Ltd.
A waste heat recovery system is installed in marine vessels to reduce their fuel consumption,
which simultaneously can reduce the emission of pollutants such as CO2. We have developed a
compact and high-performance waste heat recovery system HydrocurrentTM (Note) Organic Rankine
Cycle (ORC) Module 125EJW in conjunction with Calnetix Technologies, LLC (Head office:
Cerritos, California, U.S.A.; hereinafter referred to as Calnetix). This system can capture the heat
from low-temperature heat sources such as the jacket cooling water of the main engine of the ship,
which could not be used for this purpose, and convert it to electric power for shipboard
consumption.
In this system, a radial turbine newly developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine
Machinery & Engine Co., Ltd. is mounted in Calnetix's established standard system for waste heat
recovery, which in itself has earned a solid reputation as onshore equipment of this kind. This new
waste heat recovery system gained class approval from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK) and Lloyd's
Register (LRS), and was launched in the market as our next strategic product.
