On December 5, the 2023 International Maritime Convention and Exhibition was officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Danfoss, the world’s leading provider of green ship application solutions, made an exciting appearance under the theme of “Leading Green Shipping to a zero-carbon future”, showcasing green ship solutions and the future development trend of the industry from the perspectives of electrification, energy efficiency and clean emissions.

Innovative solutions to pilot green shipping

On the morning of the 5th, at the Danfoss booth (N1 B7A-01), Morten Bødskov, Danish Minister of Commerce, Industry and Financial Affairs, and Thomas Østrup, Danish Ambassador to China Møller, Xu Yang, President of Danfoss China, Zhang Jingzhe, General manager of Wartsila Electric Automation (Shanghai) Co., LTD., and Lu Zhongping, head of Danfoss China Transmission Division, cut the ribbon for the opening of the Danfoss booth, and the Danfoss 2023 International Maritime Exhibition Tour officially “green sailing”.

The International Maritime Convention and Exhibition is known as the wind vane of the development trend of international maritime industry technology. Back offline again after four years, the conference is the most influential and large-scale professional event in the world this year. The three divisions of Danfoss Transmission, Climate solutions and power systems were jointly unveiled, bringing solutions such as ship electrification, DC networking, hybrid shaft power generation, Marine refrigeration and air conditioning, host monitoring and desulfurization and denitrification.”The greenhouse gas emissions generated by ships account for about 3% of total global emissions, and the green transformation of the entire shipping industry chain is of great significance. Danfoss ‘safe, efficient and green Marine solutions can help our partners to electrify their ships, improve energy efficiency and achieve clean emissions, making us the ideal partner for the green transformation of the Marine industry.”

Partnership for a zero-carbon future

On the day of the launch, Danfoss announced the signing of a memorandum of cooperation with CSSC Wartsila Electric Automation (Shanghai) Co., LTD. The two sides will establish a long-term cooperation mechanism in the fields of side push drive, conventional propulsion and DC networking promotion, combine the market resource base, give play to their respective advantages to develop customer resources, and jointly create high-quality projects. Morten Bødskov, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Financial Affairs of Denmark, Lei Ma, Danish Ambassador to China, Xu Yang, President of Danfoss China, and Han Jianfeng, President of Wartsila China, witnessed the signing ceremony.

“The cooperation between Danfoss and Wartsila Electric Automation is of strategic significance. “As a leader in decarbonization solutions for the Marine industry, the collaboration between the two companies will serve as an important example to lead the industry in promoting the green transformation of the Marine industry through the implementation and application of off-the-shelf green solutions.”

“CSSC Wartsila Electric Automation is committed to leading the decarbonization of the Marine electrification industry, and through the partnership with Danfoss, the two companies will work together to create a side-push system with increased handling, reliability and green performance, accelerating the development of net zero emissions shipping.”

Danfoss is the market leader in Marine side push frequency conversion applications, offering not only direct drive 6 pulse, 12 pulse and active front end converters and original converter cabinets, but also variable frequency soft start bypass solutions with adjustable paddle side push.

Reveal green shipping “black technology”

Hybrid shaft power generation system

Danfoss DC networking technology provides customers with reliable power and equipment protection, while hybrid shaft generation systems can help customers save up to 30% on fuel consumption.
1. Variable speed shaft with generator/motor with PTO/PTI, propulsion and PTH functions
2. Common DC bus to optimize power conversion
3. Floating voltage/frequency auxiliary generator ensures maximum efficiency
4. Microgrid converter provides clean AC power
5. The battery storage peak regulation system supports the use of smaller and more efficient engines

Dc networking technology

The DC networking technology of Danfoss transmission adopts a unified hardware platform and installs different software macros to realize different product applications. Its core advantages are as follows:
1. The unit can be adjustable
2. Solid state switch with microsecond protection
3. Can drive low speed permanent magnet motor
