Propulsion machinery for LNG ships
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5894728
By combining a diesel engine with a gas turbine/steam turbine electrical system, Moss Rosenberg designed a propulsion plant that runs on low-quality bunker oil as well as boiloff gas without the problems of dual-fuel combustion in a single system. Each power system operates at maximum efficiency since the diesel engine burns only bunker oil and the turbine plant burns the boiloff. The balance of power between the two systems is automatically regulated and depends on the available amount of boiloff and the power output required.
