Swedish company Climeon has completed the commissioning of its HeatPower 300 system on board a container ship. existing container ship. container ship. This development is part of a modernization project aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the fleet without the need to alter its original design.
HeatPower 300 converts waste heat into useful on-board energy
The HeatPower 300 system uses organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology (ORC) technology to convert low-temperature waste heat from cooling water and steam available in the ship’s engines into clean electricity. This electricity can be used directly in the ship’s systems, reducing the ship’s dependence on fossil fuel. dependence on fossil fuel.
[post_relacionado]Following installation in early 2025, the team undertook a comprehensive integration process with existing onboard systems. The official handover to the client confirms that the system operates continuously and in line with the safety standards required by the maritime industry.
Adaptability and sustainability in the naval sector
According to Fredrik Thoren, executive vice president of Climeon, the commissioning of HeatPower 300 demonstrates how heat recovery technology can translate into concrete operational benefits for shipping companies. The aim is to reduce fuel consumption and also to respond to increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Thanks to its modular architecture, HeatPower 300 can be easily adapted to both new construction and existing vessels. This versatility allows installation without compromising the vessel’s structure or operational performance, a crucial advantage for companies seeking scalable and sustainable solutions.
The company thus strengthens its position as a provider of energy conversion solutions in the marine sector. The implementation on this container ship consolidates the feasibility of integrating clean technologies in the maritime industry. clean technologies in the global maritime industry. industry.
