For use with high-efficiency 2-stroke marine engines.

ABBs PTL 3200 power turbine, with a maximum electrical

output of 3,200 kW, is designed for use with high-efficiency
2-stroke marine engines. It converts surplus exhaust gas
energy from the ships main engine into onboard energy for
a simultaneous reduction in engine emissions and fuel
consumption. Two waste heat recovery configurations are
available:
Stand-alone PTL driving a generator via a reduction
gearbox, for a 4 % saving in fuel and emissions.
PTL in conjunction with a steam turbine for fuel and
emissions savings in excess of 10 %.
