Engine exhaust recovery and Ship propulsion

Energy flows from ship propulsion to engine exhaust recovery; energy flows from engine exhaust recovery to ship propulsion.

Engine exhaust recovery (energy) and Ship propulsion (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 95% of flow · Ship propulsion → Engine exhaust recovery

Large marine engines use turbochargers.

  • 95% of Ship propulsion's energy goes this way

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · 15% of flow · Engine exhaust recovery → Ship propulsion

Turbocharging improves ship engine efficiency.

  • 15% of Engine exhaust recovery's energy goes this way
