In the dynamic world of maritime engineering, precision and reliability are critical factors. Engineered-to-order (ETO) enclosed solutions are at the cornerstone of innovation within areas such as marine propulsion, thruster, and deck machinery. Tailored to meet specific vessel requirements, these solutions speed up your project delivery. At the same time, they elevate performance and efficiency, and reduce commissioning effort.
These solutions are optimized to seamlessly integrate with the unique specifications of different vessels. Whether it's a state-of-the-art propulsion system, a high-performance thruster, or robust deck machinery, our engineering expertise allows us to deliver solutions that precisely align with your operational needs. Energy storage integration for hybrid system is also supported by the ETO solution with the help of iC7-Hybrid.
You get project engineering solutions comprising pre-designed sections that reduce technical risk and cost for motor drives and hybrid systems. Interested? Please contact your local sales office for further information.
The iC7 series liquid-cooled system modules empower you to pack a lot of power into a small space, to optimize your systems – and give you new application opportunities. At the heart of this groundbreaking technology is the cooling unit. The cooling unit is service-friendly with easy access to the pump and pump shut-off valves.
Variable frequency fan control saves energy and reduces noise in technical rooms and refrigeration systems throughout your vessel.
For more efficient operation and greater freedom in ship design, consider an electric-based main propulsion with engineering from Danfoss.
For reliable operation, reduced emissions, and long life of marine pumps and separators, draw upon engineering knowhow from Danfoss.
By running winches and cranes on an electric motor you can achieve energy savings, low noise operation and no risk of hydraulic oil overheating or leaks.
The iC7-Automation variable frequency drive now includes powerful new features to enhance its flexibility, safety, and ease of use, helping you optimize your systems: Simplified backup and restore, Logic feature in MyDrive® Insight, more integrated fieldbus protocols, SS1-t and PROFIsafe functional safety, and an emergency stop cabinet option. It also reduces complexity and cost for conveyors in industry.
iC7-Automation is now more flexible than ever. New enhancements enabling easier system optimization include fieldbus exchange and OPC UA with no need for new hardware, as well as compatibility with more motor technologies.
Danfoss introduces the Danfoss configurator in EPLAN Electric P8 system, a cutting-edge solution for designers optimizing their design workflows. Designers can now configure iC7-Automation frequency converters and swiftly generate a specific EPLAN data (EDZ file) within minutes, a task that in the past would have taken weeks to complete.
Aurora Botnia is the world's first passenger car ferry meeting the Clean Design label. Danfoss power converters and drives optimize thrusters, propulsion, and HVAC systems on board. The vessel is powered by low-emission hybrid technology and power production is supported by four large lithium batteries on board.
