Utilization the Ship Main Engine Cooling Water for Micro hydro Power Plants Design

Abstract

Renewable energy is non-fossil energy derived from the nature and sustainable, also if properly managed, resources are depleted. The utilization of cooling water disposal on his boat as an energy-producing environment-friendly, by making use of the cooling water flow pressure machine ships as water turbine impeller assembled in such a way so it can generate electricity. Commercial ships usually have large size machines and most use large-capacity cooling system, so the cooling water flow capacity will be even greater as well. This prompted the opportunity to create an instrument for utilizing renewable energy flow of cooling water disposed in vain to rotate the propeller has been drafted into a micro hydro. And expected results can help reduce the workload of the auxiliary engines which will also have an impact on the reduction of fuel consumption. Fluid which flowed by the pump-the pump will rotate the intended water turbine that will generate electrical energy. When the ship sail, the lighting definitely need in each room, by using the electrical energy produced by the auxiliary engine, this water turbine can be applied then the fuel that had been used or consumed by the auxiliary engine can be replaced by the electric energy generated by the water turbines for light ships.
