TY - JOUR TI - Efficiency increase in ship's primal energy system using a multistage compression with intercooling AU - Landeka Petar AU - Radica Gojmir JN - Thermal Science PY - 2016 VL - 20 IS - 4 SP - 1399 EP - 1406 PT - Article AB - This paper focuses on an analysis of the potential increase of efficiency in ship's primal energy system using a turbocharger with multistage compression with intercooling, and diverting a greater flow of exhaust gases to power turbine of waste heat recovery system (WHR). Analysis of potential efficiency increase has been made for various stages of compression for a 100 % main engine load, and an analysis of five stage compression with intercooling for a main engine load between 50% and 100%.
