A11 Development of Waste Heat Recovery Stirling Engine System for Electric Propulsion Ship : 3rd Report, Development of Control System and Setup to a Ship

Abstract

We have tried to develop a marine heat recovery system with a Stirling engine generator since 2005. The Stirling engine operates with exhaust gas from a marine Diesel engine as the heat source. In this paper, we report the development of a control system for the heat recovery system, and the performance of the system after installation to the electric propulsion ship "Kakuyo Maru".
