“…The proposed configuration optimizes the interaction with the existing systems allowing an instant transition from one to the other, as well as the possibility of a combined operation in the event of particular power requests. The hydraulic independence and the synergistic thermal operation of the vapor-compression and of the absorption refrigeration plants can be attained by interposing either a couple of heat exchangers or a single hydraulic separator [34] between the IPWHTC connected with the evaporators and the IPWHTC connected with the storerooms.…”

“…Another crucial aspect of the proposed solution consists in its feasible coupling with the existing plant, in order to operate under all possible conditions imposed by the different phases of the navigation. To implement the new plant together with the existing one, the exploitation of a simple but well-functioning device such as the thermal-hydraulic separator allows us to combine different plants with a reliable solution with high hydraulic and thermal performances (Figure 6) [34].…”

The newest cruise ships can guest a constantly increasing number of passengers and concentrate their environmental impact on the limited areas interested by their path. The generated solid waste contributes significantly to this impact; therefore, we propose an innovative solution for recovering embedded energy from that garbage. In more detail, we study the feasibility of an absorption plant able to exploit the residual energy of the flue gas of the ship’s incinerator. No payload space shall be sacrificed to install the considered absorption plant. Furthermore, it can be integrated with the existing plants providing for a limited number of heat exchangers. The recovered energy can be used to control the temperature of the refrigerated storerooms; operating simultaneously with, or in place of the existing compression vapors system already installed; it allows a reduction of the CO2 emissions and of fuel consumption. We show that the proposed approach can be applied to a variety of cruise ships, independently of their tonnage or passenger capacity.
