  • In this study, the electrical power consumption saving effect is studied through installing an inverter which is able to control the R.P.M. of marine sea water pump by effective flow control. The study looks at how sea water pump's flow control influences on the system without the Marine Growths Protection System(MGPS). Auxiliary sea water pump and refrigerator sea water pump in training ships, which are always operated not only in harbor but also in navigation, was used in the experiment and the experiment was conducted by dividing into harbor and navigation. As a result of research, in the case the sea water temperature is under $18^{\circ}C$, the operation was possible with a 58.3 % decrease in pump R.P.M. and electric power consumption was saved by 50 %. In spite of the sea water temperature increasing upto $34^{\circ}C$, pump R.P.M. at 91.6 % was sufficient to operate with a 20 % electric power consumption saving effect. In the pipelines without MGPS, lowering R.P.M. along with lowering pressure results in the attachment of various marine growths.
