Danish Marine Group is organising a national Pavilion of Denmark at Kormarine 2017.
At the Pavilion of Denmark, 11 Danish companies are presenting their newest products and services to the global maritime industry.
The following companies are exhibiting at the Pavilion of Denmark, which will be located in hall 4, stand 4D02:
• BLÜCHER METAL A/S
• Clorius Controls A/S
• Danfoss A/S
• Daniamant Electronics A/S
• DESMI Pumping Technology A/S
• Eltronic FuelTech
• Green Instruments A/S
• Hempel A/S
• Hoyer A/S
• Danish Maritime Fair
• Viking Life-Saving Equipment A/S
. At Kormarine 2017, two of the companies are launching new products:
• DESMI Pumping Technology A/S is introducing a new solution to avoid overheated and damaged power installations onboard vessels and thus, reduce costs and energy loss.
• Eltronic FuelTech is launching a new gas valve unit enabling shipowners and shipbuilders to increase engine efficiency, save energy and reduce costs.
DESMI introduces new solution to reduce costs and energy loss on electric installations onboard vessels
At Kormarine 2017, DESMI Pumping Technology A/S is introducing a new solution that enables shipowners and operators to avoid overheated and damaged electric installations and thus, reduce costs and energy loss. The solution is suitable for newbuildings and retrofits.
The new OptiPower from DESMI Pumping Technology A/S includes power quality analysis from measuring to design and installation of equipment making it possible to optimise power quality management and avoid electrical disturbance.
“Improved power quality prolongs the service life of components, generators and transformers onboard the vessel and thus, allows shipowners and operators to save energy and costs,” says Steen Jørgensen, Sales Manager at DESMI Automation, that supports the DESMI pump business and has a team of engineers around the world with skills and know-how necessary for on site inspections and upgrade of automation systems.
Reduces overheat and damaged electric installations
According to Steen Jørgensen, vessels and marine applications increasingly include power electronic devices with rapid and frequent loads variations like frequency converters, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) and LED lights.
“These non-linear loads create voltage harmonic distortion that causes overheating and affects all the devices connected to the electrical distribution system onboard,” he explains and adds:
“OptiPower prevents this. The solution is especially suitable for newbuildings and retrofits, when different subcontractors supply pumps and other marine applications. Even though each application meets the electrical requirements, the sum of all contributing harmonic distortions can still affect the voltage quality.”
Meets requirements from marine classification societies
Along with achieving energy savings, OptiPower meets the new limits for harmonics levels on vessels established by the marine classification societies earlier this year.
“The requirements to get your vessels registered and insured are the same in Europe and Asia. Accordingly, global shipowners, operators and shipyards must take the power quality into consideration when applying frequency converters, UPS and LED lights on the vessels,” says Steen Jørgensen.

New gas valve unit from Eltronic FuelTech increases engine efficiency while reducing costs
At Kormarine 2017, Eltronic FuelTech is launching the Gas Valve Unit Geminus enabling shipowners and shipbuilders to increase engine efficiency, save energy and reduce costs. In addition, the new gas valve unit enables easy accessibility and maintenance.
To meet the new emission standards for marine vessels, shipowners and shipbuilders must reduce CO2, NOx and SOx engine emissions remarkably. Thus, more marine vessels use liquified natural gas-fuelled engines to reduce environmental impacts.
“A gas valve unit is an essential safety component for gas-fuelled engines, as it allows for a safe shut-down of the fuel gas supply system in case of emergency,” explains Ryan Nielsen, Director at Eltronic FuelTech.
“In addition to this, the new Gas Valve Unit Geminus contains an innovative gas control principle adjusted to the need of the engine. This enables shipowners and shipbuilders to increase engine efficiency, save energy and reduce costs,” he says.
Easy accessibility and maintenance
An existing gas valve unit is a double block and bleed piping system with components encapsulated in a large steel box making it difficult to access and maintain.
“Now, we can eliminate the encapsulation of the gas valve unit, as its double-walled ventilated feature serves as outer barrier with gas leakage detection,” says Ryan Nielsen and continues:
“This design makes the Gas Valve Unit Geminus easy to access directly and thus, improves maintenance of components.”
Serves the need of your engine room setup
Along with increased accessibility, the new solution makes up one-third of the size and weight of an encapsulated gas valve unit and consists of six independent blocks.
“Shipbuilders can put together the blocks in a way that serves the need of their exact engine room setup rather than making room for a unit that takes up three square metres of floor space. This makes the gas valve unit suitable for newbuildings and retrofits,” explains Ryan Nielsen.
