Waste heat recovery after a ship's auxiliary engines improves fuel efficiency and cuts emissions

Hard pressed to boost profits in light of rising fuel costs and stricter emissions regulations• Ship owners will find welcome relief in the new Aalborg XS-TC7A waste heat recovery (WHR) economizer from Alfa Laval. Designed for use after a ship's auxiliary engines, this innovative waste heat recovery system promises fuel and emissions savings for the world's maritime fleet.
Firing the auxiliary boilers to sustain a ship's steam requirements now costs much less - both in terms of fuel oil and impact on the environment - thanks to the Alfa Laval Aalborg XS-TC7A. Capable of completely supplying or supporting ship steam requirements during manoeuvring and port stays, this new waste heat recovery economizer turns waste heat from a ship's auxiliary engines into usable energy and cuts carbon emissions.
Additional fuel savings
With its small footprint and low weight to output ratio, the Alfa Laval Aalborg XS-TC7A promises to reduce fuel costs for oil-fired auxiliary boilers. After two years of testing at sea, a major Danish shipping company is among the first to capitalize on the full potential of using waste heat recovery economizers both after the main engines and auxiliary engines on its fleet. For starters, the company signed a contract in January 2012 to install the Alfa Laval Aalborg XS-TC7A on 20 newbuildings and a larger number of retrofits over the coming years.
"Waste heat recovery systems after the main engines have proven lucrative for decades for many ship owners," says Hans-Henrik Jensen, Alfa Laval Vice President, Marine & Diesel Division. "Taking advantage of the waste heat from a ship's auxiliary engines is the natural next step, which is now possible thanks to the Aalborg XS-TC7A. The product has been very well received by the shipping industry, where many of the leading companies are investigating the possibility of installing the Aalborg XS-TC7A onboard."
Jensen goes on to say that Alfa Laval is the first maritime supplier to help ship owners improve fuel efficiency by capturing the waste heat potential of the auxiliary engines and turning it into usable energy onboard. This delivers measurable cost savings and enhances a ship's environmental profile.
Fast return on investment
Return on investment for the entire installation can typically be realized within 12 to 18 months; in some cases, payback only takes six to eight months. Drastically reduced fuel costs and reduced maintenance requirements for oil-fired auxiliary engines contributes to fast ROI because the Aalborg XS-TC7A is able to supply, or support, a ship's in-port steam requirements. Actual payback time varies, depending on various factors, such as the number of days the produced steam can be utilized and redundancy requirements.
Another reason why payback time is quick: A specially designed convection component, which improves heat transfer due to increased turbulence at the exhaust gas boundary layer. This enables increased steam production but makes the Aalborg XS-TC7A more compact and lighter in weight compared to other known waste heat recovery systems.
Deeper emissions reductions
According to the Danish shipping company's chief executive officer, reducing carbon emissions is a top priority for the company not only to protect the health of the planet but to meet customer demand for a greener supply chain.
"The Aalborg XS-TC7A is clean technology that will help ship owners reduce energy costs and enhance their environmental profiles," explains Jensen. "All told, the Aalborg XS-TC7A is a must-have on board."

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
