Plug-and-play ventilation with measurable impact.
EcoSmartVent engine room solution
EcoSmartVent is a compact, energy-efficient control solution for engine room ventilation systems. EcoSmartVent can automatically regulate airflow based on temperature and pressure, reducing energy consumption by up to 60%. With a quick, no-code setup and integrated reporting tools, EcoSmartVent streamlines installation, cuts operational costs, supports sustainability goals, and extends equipment lifespan through optimized fan control.
Efficient energy use
Automatically adjusts ventilation to reduce energy consumption Temperature/pressure-based control for smarter regulation
Cost savings & control
Built-in PLC and external HMI for fast setup – no coding required Test and fine-tune settings easily for optimal performance
Proven impact
Visual reports show actual energy savings in kWh and cost Supports internal reporting and investment decisions with real data
EcoSmartVent control with dual inverters
Engine room ventilation controlled by 2 inverters
Control logic
Inverter A: PID control based on temperature for intake airflow
Inverter B: PID control based on pressure for exhaust airflow
PLC-program in each BFI calculates average energy consumption, temperature/pressure, motor current and motor speed
User interface & monitoring
Standard HMI provides easy access to parameters, energy cost tracking, and trend visualization
Flexible operation
Optional setup: run only one inverter when no intake or exhaust fan is available
Why use variable frequency drives (VFDs)?
Energy savings achieved by using VFDs
Using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) instead of running fans directly at full speed can yield substantial energy savings of 20-60%.
- Small speed reductions (10-20%) already yield noticeable savings of 10-30%.
- Moderate/large speed reductions (30-50%) can lead to savings of up to 50-60%
- If fans normally operate at full speed, the savings are smaller but still relevant when the load varies.
- A positive side effect is reduced noise: When ventilation automatically slows down during idle or port conditions, unnecessary fan noise is significantly lowered. This helps reduce noise pollution in harbors and improves the onboard environment without requiring any additional equipment or effort.
