Zero-Emissions Super Efficient Hybrid Research Vessel Design for Plymouth Marine Laboratory

作为对清洁海事计划的直接回应，一个由精干、绿色、零排放的中小企业组成的团队联合起来，为商船和服务船目前面临的问题提出了独特的解决方案。我们打算利用我们各自的技术，为普利茅斯海洋实验室即将投入使用的一艘零排放考察船进行可行性研究。我们的模块化设计允许各个部件在其尚未突破的船用技术“筒仓”内获得合格，并提供集成的零排放船舶动力、高效推进和稳定性控制系统，同时符合更直接的实施和鉴定时间表。该公司的技术团队在过热蒸汽工程方面已经合作了十年。我们优先开发清洁、高能量密度的氢和氧燃料蒸汽动力，用于商业应用。封闭的蒸汽系统是零排放的，我们的蒸汽发生器中氢气和氧气的燃烧产生高能蒸汽，并在可重复的循环中产生零碳、NOx、硫或微粒排放。蒸汽被用来驱动连接到永久磁铁三相发电机的脉冲涡轮机。排出的蒸汽被回收到蒸汽发生器。蒸汽学高扭矩涡轮机结构紧凑、坚固可靠、运动部件少，适用于船舶负载循环。DuoDrive基于对转螺旋桨的卓越效率创新了船舶推进。Motodrivetrain(Tm)在一个简单的概念中融入了零碳电力驱动，它是一种用于‘小船’(最初的长度为8-30米)的高效船用推进器单元，可以同样地改装成传统资产或新建造，因为人们知道，小船有40-50年的使用寿命，不能像汽车资产那样在使用十年或更短时间后被‘替换’。使用IDPortal流体动力学3Flex和Xphias技术，我们能够设计和制造具有特殊海洋性能的螺旋桨和水翼。这种“水弹性”薄膜不仅效率更高，操作范围更广，更轻，产生的振动更少，发出的噪音更少，而且还可以使用回收材料制造。

In direct response to the Clean Maritime Plan, a team of lean and green, zero-emission SMEs have combined to propose a unique solution to the current issues facing commercial and service vessels. We intend to exploit our respective technologies by conducting a feasibility study on a soon-to-be commissioned zero-emissions research vessel for Plymouth Marine Laboratories. Our modular design allows the respective components to be qualified within their marine technology "silos" yet to break through and provide an integrated zero-emissions vessel power, high efficiency propulsion and stability control system whilst fitting within more immediate implementation and qualification timescales.Steamology has spent six years developing innovative hydrogen-based zero-emission steam systems for a number of steam heat and power turbine applications. The company's technical team have been working together for ten years on superheated steam engineering. We have prioritised developing clean, energy-dense hydrogen and oxygen fuelled steam power for commercial applications. The closed steam system is emission free, combustion of hydrogen and oxygen in our steam generators creates high energy steam and produces zero carbon, NOx, sulphur or particulate emissions in a repeatable cycle. Steam is used to drive an impulse turbine connected to a permanent magnet 3-Phase electric generator. Exhausted steam is recycled to the steam generator. Steamology high torque turbines are compact, robust and reliable with few moving parts, suitable for marine duty cycles.Duodrive innovates Marine propulsion based on the superior efficiency of Contra-Rotating Propellers. Motodrivetrain(tm) incorporates zero-carbon electric drive in a simple concept, highly efficient marine propulsion cartridge unit for 'small ships' (initially in the range 8-30m in length) which can be equally retrofitted to legacy-assets or new build, since one knows that small ships have a 40-50 year life and cannot be 'replaced' after a decade or less of use as with automotive assets.Using IDPortal Hydrodynamics 3Flex and Xiphias technologies we are able to design and manufacture selectively propellers and hydrofoils with exceptional marine performance properties. The "hydro-elastic" foils are not only more efficient, have a wider range of operation, are lighter, generate less vibration, emit less noise but can also be manufactured using recycled materials.
