ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY ASSESSMENT OF WASTE HEAT RECOVERY TECHNOLOGIES IN MARINE INDUSTRY
Abstract
In this study, an assessment and comparison of the Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) systems in maritime industries are made in detail in terms of energy, environment, and economy (3E) analysis. WHR systems are assessed according to types and stroke engines, thermodynamic cycles, waste heat source, types of fluid, heat exchangers, and the pollutants released into the atmosphere by the exhaust gas. Furthermore, while examining WHR systems, criteria such as feasibility, initial investment costs, depreciation periods, depreciation rates, possible energy recovery are considered. It is noteworthy that such an assessment has not been conducted so far in the comprehensive literature researches. Therefore, this study will determine the most appropriate waste heat recovery systems in marine industries.
