Use of high efficiency class-approved batteries can minimize substitute prices & & enhance security
As an outcome of research studies right into using emergency situation as well as back-up batteries on ships, The Furukawa Battery Co.,Ltd (Furukawa Battery) as well as Eco Marine Power Co.,Ltd (EMP) revealed today that they have actually released a solution to assist ship proprietors minimize battery substitute prices. This solution referred to as the Ship Battery Replacement as well as Management Service will certainly additionally minimize waste, minimize the work for the staff as well as aid enhance security.
During the previous couple of years Furukawa Battery as well as EMP have actually been accepting the growth of renewable resource options for ships as well as have actually collectively taken on a variety of tasks to research as well as carry out aquatic solar energy options. During these tasks class-approved batteries were mounted, nonetheless it ended up being apparent that there was extent to make use of battery modern technologies from Furukawa Battery for various other applications on-board ships.
The FCR collection batteries as an example are preferably fit for 24 VDC emergency situation back-up battery financial institutions as well as because of their long-life qualities they do not require to be changed as commonly as several batteries presently being utilized for this function. Additionally they more than 90% recyclable as well as as a result they are an eco-friendly alternative too. The FCR collection are a risk-free, trusted as well as simple to set up power storage space alternative as well as have premium efficiency qualities when contrasted to various other comparable battery modern technologies. They additionally supply consumers a much less complex choice to lithium-ion batteries. Other class-approved battery kinds offered consist of the UltraBattery ®, FCP as well as FC collection.
As component of the Ship Battery Replacement as well as Management Service, Furukawa Battery as well as EMP will certainly examine the mounted batteries on a fleet basis as well as supply suggestions to deliver proprietors or ship supervisors pertaining to substitutes or upgrades. Details pertaining to exactly how a screening strategy can expand the life of the mounted batteries will certainly additionally be consisted of. In enhancement guidance pertaining to security or storage space concerns will certainly be highlighted.
On introducing this brand-new solutionMr Yasuhiro Kodaka, General Manager, Overseas Sales & & Marketing Department at Furukawa Battery stated: “Furukawa Battery has a range of class-approved batteries suitable for use on ships and we look forward to working with Eco Marine Power to help ship managers and ship owners reduce costs and improve how they manage on-board batteries and their replacements.”
Greg Atkinson, Chief Technology Officer at Eco Marine Power included: “Not only is it possible to reduce battery replacement costs by improving on-board battery management but it can also improve safety. We have for example seen cases where batteries have exploded due to incorrect or low quality types being installed or batteries failing after just a few months for the same reason. Clearly if emergency back-up batteries fail then this is a serious safety issue and these problems can be prevented via our new service.”
In enhancement to suggesting as well as providing substitute batteries, Furukawa Battery as well as EMP can organize to provide booster cable collections, battery spacers, battery framework packages as well as battery examination systems.
