Eco-Cooler: heat released by ships ' engines exhaust will feed refrigerating plants
The project Eco-Cooler plan to reuse the heat released by the exhaust of the engines of ships and convert it into energy to feed the refrigerating plants of holds of fishing vessels. The project, managed by the sea economy business forum, was developed in partnership with the shipyard Nautiber, financial consultant Linear momentum and the INOVA Research Center â€" and has already been approved.The Eco-Cooler arises from a pilot action which was adopted by the program and PROMAR, by reusing the heat, allow possible reducing energy consumption of the cooling system.With the development of the prototype, the Consortium hopes, as stated in a statement, "contribute to increased profitability through the implementation of innovative technologies without increasing catch capacity, the improvement of safety at work on Board of vessels, a major contribution to energy efficiency, savings in the consumption of fossil fuels, reducing imports and increased exports of Portugal".Once the shipyard where it will be implemented the project in Vila Real de Santo António, the Consortium hopes to have the Spanish fishing fleet as a client of this installation, thus contributing to national exports of technology.Foto: marcusrg/Creative Commons
