Operational experiences
Benefits of a gas engine
Advantages:
Lower emissions and more controllable emissions with a Catalyst
No sulphur and sod in the exhaust gas system ( Exhaust gas cooled to 120-160 oC)
About AEA
Higher energy efficiency and operational economy because it is possible to reach lower
Choosing gas - oil
exhaust gas temperature.
Danish DH
Easy daily maintaining

A cleaner working environment
Plant layout
Longer operating time between service intervals

Engine controls are easy intergraded into the Intergraded Ships Controls (ISC) system.
Safety aspects
Simple safety rules/ legislation
Service aspects

Disadvantages:
The higher initial cost
Contact us
Requires gas pipeline
Conclusion:
The higher initial cost of a gas engine, is offset by the its life time benefits and higher
efficiency.
