Cylinder Bypass Valve (CBV) Retrofit

Retrofit with electropneumatic actuator enabling variable-speed operation for lower fuel consumption and better CII rating.

Description

The CBV retrofit is configured for constant pressure charging and for part-load and slow-steaming profiles, using an electropneumatic actuator for precise control. Engine speed is reduced by a defined percentage, or the engine runs in an extended combinator mode, which lowers the required power while maintaining vessel speed.

Key features

  • Electropneumatic actuator for precise control
  • Up to 20% reduction in fuel consumption, as stated on the site
  • Improved IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating
  • Suited to part-load and slow-steaming profiles

Applications

Vessels with constant pressure charging that operate at part load or slow steaming.

Specifications

Fuel consumption reductionup to 20%
