IMPACT OF THE MAIN ENGINE TYPE ON THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPERATIONAL INDICATOR OF THE SELECTED TYPES OF POLISH FISHING CUTTERS

Authors: Cezary BehrendtIn


Abstract:

In view of the hazards to the environment and an energy efficiency of fishing cutters, this paper presents and comprises an analysis of the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicators’ (EEOI) calculation results as an indicator relating fuel consumption and the emission of the harmful exhaust gases. In order to determine EEOI the field test results have been applied. The research was carried out on three Polish fishing cutters of the same type on which different types of medium-speed self ignition internal combustion engines, used as main engines, were installed. The conducted analysis allowed for an assessment how an engine type affects the EEOI value.

Keywords: fishing cutters, ecology, main engine, energy efficiency operational indicator.
