Calculation of Freshwater Production for Derated Engine
Example 2:
Freshwater production from a derated 6S50ME-B9.3-TII with 1 high efficiency MAN TCA55-26
turbocharger
, high load and fixed pitch propeller.
Based on the engine ratings below, this example will show how to calculate the expected available jacket
cooling water heat removed from the diesel engine, together with the corresponding freshwater production
from a freshwater generator.
The calculation is made for the service rating (S) of the diesel engine being 80% of the specified MCR.
Nominal MCR, (L

: 10,680 kW (100.0%) and 117.0 r/min (100.0%)

The expected available jacket cooling water heat at service rating is found as follows:

By means of equation [1], and using factor 0.885
for actual ambient condition the heat dissipation
in the SMCR point (M) is found:

By means of equation [2], the heat dissipation in

For the service point the corresponding expected
obtainable freshwater production from a freshwa-
ter generator of the single effect vacuum evapora-
tor type is then found from equation [3]:
