ENERGY CONSERVATION (ADV)
Abstract
The Energy Conservation Advanced Project is designed to develop and implement energy and maintenance saving improvements into existing Fleet assets. This Fleet driven project will identify mature potential energy saving and maintenance improvement areas, by involvement with Life-Cycle Managers (LCMs), Technical Warrant Holders, In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs), PEO, and the Top Management Attention/Top Management Issue (TMA/TMI) community. Potential technology target areas will include: Hull Hydrodynamics, Hull Husbandry, Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, Thermal Management, Propulsion Systems, Electrical Systems, and Power Generation and Storage systems and Aircraft Energy Conservation. The project directly supports Fleet requirements to reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs. The project will focus on research and development across the following major areas: Hull Hydrodynamic Sub Project - This project area will accomplish prototype development, laboratory and Fleet testing to determine overall mission and cost effectiveness of these improvements. Hull Husbandry Sub Project - Project funds will be utilized to identify and evaluate new underwater hull coating systems and underwater hull cleaning and maintenance techniques both land based and shipboard to reduce hydrodynamic drag on the hull and thereby increase fuel efficiency. HVAC Sub Projects - Project funds will be utilized to accomplish prototype development, land and shipboard testing to determine overall mission and cost effectiveness of these improvements. Thermal Management Sub Project - Project funds will be utilized to identify and evaluate potential uses for Thermal Management techniques designed to reduce overall shipboard heat generation and reduce the overall need for HVAC. Propulsion Systems Sub Project - Project funds will be utilized to identify requirements and perform land based and ship board testing of ship propulsion system improvements, on Gas Turbine and Diesel Engine systems to reduce overall fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. (SCD# 1801 - Online Waterwash System for Gas Turbine Motor/Gas Turbine Generator (GTM/GTG), SCD# 1808 Power Conservation Management) Electrical Systems Project - Project funds will be utilized to identify requirements and perform land based and ship board testing of ship electrical system improvements, to reduce overall fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. (SCD# 1817 Variable Speed Drive VSD) for 1000 Gal. Firemain System, (SCD# 1818 VSD-IMP for 2000 Gal. Fire pumps) Power Generation & Storage System Project - This project area will accomplish prototype development, laboratory and Fleet testing to determine overall effectiveness of these improvements. Project includes the development of high efficiency, small capacity HVAC compressor for DG83AF/LPD17CL and evaluate engine, air vehicle technologies and operational modifications to assess potential benefits in approving aircraft fuel efficiencies.
