Dresser-Rand Company Limited's marine turbines have been installed in several hundred ships in many of the major shipyards in the world.
The concept of a waste heat recovery system that includes a steam turbine generator set, is based on the production of additional electric power from the heat energy in the exhaust gas of the main engine.
Each Dresser-Rand Company Limited marine turbine is individually designed for its particular application ensuring the highest possible system / cycle efficiency.
Dresser-Rand Company Limited has close links with waste heat boiler manufacturers, electrical equipment suppliers and main engine designers which, in co-operation with ship owners, allow the development of specifically designed systems to give the best possible fuel saving and pay back periods.
The turbo-generator unit is usually designed as a single package incorporating the oil reservoir, auxiliary components and interconnecting pipework. This reduces installation time and complexity and allows the complete package to be assembled and tested at the factory prior to dispatch.
Single- or dual-pressure Dresser-Rand Company Limited steam turbines are available with integral condensors or connections for exhausting steam to separate condensors to suit specific layout requirements.
This ability to match existing equipment layouts makes Dresser-Rand Company Limited steam turbines ideally suited to retrofit applications, where waste heat recovery systems may be installed in ships that were originally built without them.
Dresser-Rand Company Limited has extensive experience in meeting the full requirements of all relevant marine standards. An appropriate classification authority such as Lloyds, ABS, Bureau Veritas or DNV certifies each marine steam turbine.
