MALE Energy Solutions reports that its profile of two-stroke, dual-fuel engines has actually collected one million operating hrs.
The turning point begins the rear of the 300 engines/6.3 GW sales the business just recently introduced for the section– all operating on tidy gas such as LNG, LPG, ethane and also methanol.
“This significant milestone owes everything to the dual-fuel strategy we have laid over the past decade and confirms our leadership in this critical marine segment,” stated Bjarne Foldager– Senior Vice President, Head of Two-Stroke Business at MALEEnergy Solutions “This significant milestone owes everything to the dual-fuel strategy we have laid over the past decade and confirms our leadership in this critical marine segment. Our engines’ efficiency is the best in the market, which gives shipowners enormous flexibility, and we note that all fuel modes are employed.”
MALE Energy Solutions’ ME-GI (-Gas Injection) and also ME-LGI (-Liquid Gas Injection) engines develop the core of its two-stroke, dual-fuel profile and also have actually scratched up lots of remarkable industry-firsts given that their market intro, consisting of the really initial oceangoing ships running, specifically, on LNG, methanol, ethane and also LPG.
“Our plan is very much to continue this dual-fuel focus. To this end, we recently released a Mk II ME-GI model and are currently, owing to market demand, developing an Otto-cycle variant – the ME-GA,” statedFoldager “With references in every major, marine segment, our dual-fuel portfolio can rightly be considered as mature technology. Our dual-fuel engines continue to act as standard bearers for environmentally friendly, reliable propulsion technology with their seamless switching between fuels and elimination of methane slip. Furthermore, their use of the Diesel combustion principle ensures that they can easily adapt to run on whatever fuels the industry may prefer in the future.”
The Mk II ME-GI engine includes a variety of remarkable technologies, consisting of a PVU (Pump Vaporizer Unit), a standard, small, high-grade pump system for the supply of LNG. Additionally, a PBIV (Pilot Booster Injection Valve) utilizes smaller sized or bigger atomizing openings, relying on gas setting, to infuse gas right into ME-GI engines. In gas setting, making use of smaller sized openings considerably lowers pilot-oil usage to simply 1.5%, roughly fifty percent of what was formerly needed.
With gas rates and also schedule presently in change, MALE Energy Solutions anticipates the selection of retrofitting to dual-fuel engines to eventually come to be a requirement.
THE MARITIME POWER SHIFT
MALE Energy Solutions claims it thinks that it is time for a ‘Maritime Energy Transition’ to discover tidy, decarbonized services for seaborne profession and also transport. Essentially, it is the business’s phone call to activity to lower exhausts
