Waste Heat Recovery

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) is an effective technology for simultaneously cutting exhaust gas emissions and reducing fuel consumption.

High-efficiency WHR plants can be installed with WinGD engines of 82 and 92 bore. This enables up to 10% of the main engine shaft power to be recovered as electrical power for use as additional ship propulsion power and for shipboard services.

Steam-based WHR has been fitted to WinGD low-speed marine engines on several installations. A turbo-generator combines input from a steam turbine and an exhaust gas turbine to generate electrical power, while steam from the economiser is available for ship service heating. Steam-based WHR is recommended for vessels with high installed power.
