Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in the efficient use of energy due to policies related to the reduction of greenhouse gas. This paper suggests a highly efficient sea water cooling system for the load-dependent control of a seawater pump depending on the load, to improve energy efficiency of the warship. This study models the propulsion diesel engine and simulation reflecting the characteristics of the warship operation state that checked the performance of high efficiency sea water cooling system. The simulation results revealed the cooling system of high efficiency with energy savings of approximately 53% compared to the existing cooling systems. These results can be used to improve the performance of the cooling system of the warship propulsion diesel engine in the future.
