05FEB2019 - NEWS - Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha and Kobe Steel to jointly test a binary cycle power generation system on the Corona Youthful coal carrier

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) has recently partnered with Kobe Steel to test a binary cycle power generation system on the Corona Youthful coal carrier. As part of the collaboration, both the companies will carry out joint research on Corona Youthful, a vessel owned by K Line. To be conducted for the next three years, the research will test the durability and performance of the system in real operating conditions. The binary cycle power generation system installed on Corona Youthful is capable of producing up to 100kw of electricity from the exhaust heat of the ship’s main ship engines. It is designed to use the exhaust heat currently discarded largely to produce electricity to provide auxiliary power for the ship. The system can also help cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and reduce fuel consumption by the generator engines.
