Saving Energy on Hydraulics and Refrigeration Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation University of Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association

Hydraulic Systems  Efficiency  Viscosity  Cleanliness El Rio: Belt Driven Engine Mounted Hydraulic Pump Note: Hydraulic demand energy use in some vessels is 55-57% of total fuel consumption.

Hydraulic Systems Perform many tasks from anchor winches to gear hauling to powering generators and refrigeration. Hydraulic power costs can be measured with instrumentation or calculated from pump pressure, displacement and flow rate. Pump may be belt- or gear-driven by main or auxiliary engine, or by electric motor. Optimized systems efficiency about 98% at full load, 0% at no load. Most systems not optimized.

Hydraulic Systems Noise and heat are wasted energy. Continuously running hydraulics when not doing work wastes energy. Long runs, corners, constrictions in hydraulic lines, dirty oil (fluid), all reduce system efficiency.

Hydraulic Systems What the Energy Audit Pilot Project Revealed Many small fishing vessels have substantial hydraulic power cost; for some it was more than half all energy. Many are configured so that pump runs continuously when engine is running. A gillnetter was using 2 hp from main engine when hydraulics were in standby. One troller used $1200 worth of fuel in a season just to run pump when gurdies not engaged.* A 50-footer spent $2,000 per season on fuel to power hydraulics.* *Dollar calculations based on the average of $4/gallon for diesel fuel at the time of the pilot project.

Hydraulic Systems Energy Conservation Measures De-clutch hydraulics when not in use. Track down and eliminate sources of heat and noise. Ensure all line runs are straight as possible with no corners or constrictions. Change fluid and filter regularly, and use lightest grade fluid recommended by equipment makers. Install VFD controllers on electrically powered hydraulics. Consider a small auxiliary engine to power hydraulics if used only intermittently. Consider replacing hydraulics with more efficient electric drive where feasible.

Refrigeration Systems  Compressor Efficiency  Maintenance  Operating Pressure F/V Born Again

On-Board Refrigeration Systems Refrigerated seawater chilling and blast freezing can be run mechanically, electrically or hydraulically. Some run off main engine but more commonly a diesel auxiliary powers the refrigeration. Refrigeration is a major energy consumer. On some vessels it’s more than half of all energy consumption. Systems are most efficient under heavy load. RSW uses 1.6 hp/ton capacity, blast freezer 4.6 hp/ton of compressor rating. The compressor is the biggest energy consumer in both chilling and freezing systems. Others are seawater pump for condenser and circulation pump (RSW) and fan (blast freezer). A vessel’s refrigeration energy consumption can be calculated. Refer to Energy Analysis Tool. Refrigeration systems can be adjusted to maximize efficiency.

Maintenance vs. Technology Compressor Power on Reefer Containers Faulty Door Seal ENERGYENERGY ~ 10 years technological improvement

On-Board Refrigeration Systems What the energy audit project reveals Refrigeration related fuel costs can be as high as $15,000 per season. Most vessels in the Alaska study have older technology compressors and pumps. Head pressure frequently is set higher than necessary, which wastes energy. Data analysis showed a trawler could save 23% or $4200 in just 2,000 hours of operation by reducing compressor discharge (head pressure0 from 180 psi to 140.

On-Board Refrigeration Systems Energy Conservation Measures Thorough insulation of the fish hold is essential, including lines passing through. Ensure door seals are tight. Reduce compressor head pressure to minimum needed to achieve correct chilling. Install VFD controls on compressor condenser, circulating pumps, and fans. When replacing compressors, fans and pumps, select premium efficiency models.
