Reserves for Increasing the Energy Efficiency of Marine Steam Boilers

Abstract

Increasing the energy efficiency of ship power plants is one of the main issues of the modern day, which is constantly receiving considerable attention. The analysis of the economic indicators of marine steam boilers and the factors that exert a significant influence on them lead to the search for new ways of increasing their efficiency, which is an urgent task that constitutes the main goal of the work being performed. Its novelty is the substantiation of possible reserves for increasing the energy efficiency of marine steam boilers. The work summarizes the analysis of heat losses of marine steam boilers in order to determine the prospects of their reduction or beneficial use (disposal). Based on the results of the heat loss analysis, methods of increasing the energy efficiency of m steam boilers are considered. The most promising reserves for increasing the energy efficiency of steam boilers, which are promising for practical implementation, have been established.
