Optimizing vessel fuel consumption
Valmet DNA Sea Optimal Mode
Valmet’s DNA Sea Optimal Mode enables shipowners to achieve remarkable savings in fuel consumption. The actual savings vary based on the power plant load and specific fuel consumption (SFC) profile of the engine.
Fuel savings of up to 3%
Adjustable minimum and optimal load
Priority-based optimization
Fuel consumption optimized
Each engine has its optimal load for operation – the load at which the engine uses the least amount of fuel per kW produced. By keeping as many engines as possible at their optimal load, fuel consumption can be optimized. DNA Sea Optimal Mode utilizes unbalanced load distribution to accomplish this.
The solution has been tested in close cooperation with shipyards and shipowners. It is already in operation on several cruise vessels.
If we look at the data from tests run on ships, the highest measured savings has been 2.44%. It represents roughly 190 kg of saved fuel per hour.”
