Wärtsilä, ABB and HUG to jointly develop next generation low
emissions technology
|
|
|
|
New SCR system promises more operational
flexibility in conjunction with 2-stage turbocharging.
|
In an extension of their existing cooperation in the development
of 2-stage turbocharged medium speed diesel engines, Finnish power
solutions provider Wärtsilä and Swiss turbocharging specialist ABB
Turbo Systems intend to cooperate with a third partner,
aftertreatment specialist Hug Engineering, based in Elsau,
Switzerland. The object of the new joint project is to develop an
innovative compact selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system
especially tailored to operation with two-stage turbocharging.
Under the envisaged agreement, Wärtsilä, ABB Turbo Systems and HUG
Engineering will target a further expansion of flexible engine
operation at reduced NOx emissions and optimized fuel consumption,
as well as targeting savings in first and life cycle costs. To
develop the new combined SCR and turbocharging solution and its
integrated application on the engine, the partners will combine
their expertise and resources in order to achieve early readiness
for market.
A further step in co-operation
In April 2010, Wärtsilä and ABB Turbo Systems announced about
co-operation in a joint development programme for a new and
groundbreaking application of two-stage turbocharging on large
diesel engines. The application of two-stage turbocharging
technology on Wärtsilä diesel engines has been developed through
close co-operation between the two companies.
In this programme, Wärtsilä is focusing on developing advanced
engine technology, which with the turbocharger, is able to reach
the highest possible performance and become a cost-effective
commercial solution for its customers. ABB Turbo Systems is
delivering the turbocharging technology with defined performance
in terms of airflow, pressure ratios and efficiency.
