The Alfa Laval E-PowerPack uses Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to convert waste heat into free electrical power, making it a convenient sustainability upgrade with a measurable impact on energy efficiency. Since it runs at the low temperature of engine jacket water, your vessel can generate power continuously – from the very first minute. Adding high-temperature steam heat only increases its output, which means further fuel savings and even faster payback.
Power your way to energy efficiency
Convert your vessel’s waste heat into free electrical power
Produce power at all times using low-temperature heat
Measurably improve your vessel’s energy efficiency
Reduce costs and greenhouse gas emissions by burning less fuel
Achieve a better Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and environmental profile
Built on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, the E‑PowerPack generates free electricity from both low-temperature and high-temperature heat sources on board. Engine jacket water provides enough heat for it to run, and the power output increases when surplus steam or other heat sources are added. Where steam is readily available, a steam optimization option allows even greater output at high temperatures.
Since the E‑PowerPack reduces auxiliary engine load by up to 30%, it has a significant impact on fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions and vessel ratings (EEDI/EEXI and CII). The produced electricity is readily available from the grid and constantly measured, which provides clear support for sustainability claims.
A single E‑PowerPack module has a net electrical output of up to 200 kW, and multiple units can be combined to form a larger system.
