This report documents the work of reducing the power consumption of the cooling system
aboard a cargo ship from A.P. Møller-Mærsk.
The cooling system was rst analysed, and
based on the analysis a model of the system
was created. Based on current design
specications, a requirement specication was
stated.
A classical control scheme was developed and
veried using the model. This control scheme
proved, that it was possible to reduce the
power consumption by 79.3% and 97.8% during
two specied voyages.
In order to further improve the reduction
in power consumption, an advanced control
scheme was developed and implemented on the
model. The tests carried out using this scheme
proved, that it was possible to obtain a reduction
of 92.5% during the rst voyage.
The previous schemes were developed using
the setup of the existing system. In order
to further reduce the power consumption, the
system was analysed with extra adjustable
valves implemented. This alteration to the
system proved, that the power consumption
could be reduced further than by just implementing
the advanced control scheme.
This report proves, that it is possible to reduce
the power consumption of the cooling
system aboard a cargo ship from A.P. Møller-
Mærsk. Because of the results of this report
it has been estimated, that implementing the
advanced control scheme, would be the most
protable solution. This is because it resulted
in the highest power reduction, with the lowest
implementation eorts.
