The Wärtsilä Receiver temperature dew point control improves the efficiency and reliability of the engine’s operation while also lowering fuel consumption and emissions. The Wärtsilä Receiver temperature dew point control is a fully automated solution that dynamically adjusts the low temperature water flow so that the charge air is at the optimal temperature. This prevents condensation in the charge air receiver, thus preventing corrosion and reducing the risk of engine damage.
Dew point control systems have demonstrated their effectiveness in Wärtsilä land-based power plants, and are now available as a retrofit for marine installations.
The Wärtsilä Receiver temperature dew point control has been designed with standard components to cover various Wärtsilä 46 engine configurations and water control systems.
