LNG COLD ENERGY RECOVERY POTENTIAL STUDY

The potential benefits of LNG cold energy recovery via an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) unit have been theoretically evaluated for a container ship and a ferry, with promising fuel saving potential.

The study compared the potential energy savings for a ferry propelled by twin Wärtsilä 46DF engines with a containership powered by a high-pressure two-stroke engine.
