Sumario:As the analysis of the research results has shown, the use of a thermopressor makes it possible to increase the fuel and energy efficiency of a ship power plant in a wide range of the operation parameters. It can be achieved by cooling the charge air before the engine inlet receiver and by reducing the compression work of the turbocharger. A scheme with the thermopressor application in the cooling system of a low-speed main engine and in the system for utilizing the exhaust gases heat in a heat recovery boiler of one and two pressures was proposed. The use of thermopressors led to a decrease in the compressor power consumption, and therefore in the turbine required power. Therefore, it was appropriate to pass (bypass) the excess amount of gas past the turbine. Accordingly, the thermal potential of exhaust gases was increased. As a result, the temperature of gases at the inlet to the heat recovery boiler was increased by 10-15 °C, and gases heat was increased by 10-15% respectively. The obtained additional steam is advisable to use for driving the utilization turbine generator, thereby reducing the load on the ship's power plant, with a corresponding decrease in fuel consumption of diesel generators by 2-4%.
