EcoGenDrive shaft generator

Innovation and sustainability are two key themes for the marine industry. With that in mind, Motrac Industries has developed the EcoGenDrive shaft generator. The greener alternative with higher efficiency and direct cost savings! What makes the EcoGenDrive shaft generator unique is that electrical power can be generated from the propulsion engine. This allows a diesel generator set to be eliminated, or even saved.

More about this project

This is a closed-loop system, which makes the plant compact, efficient and highly effective. An adjustable pump is coupled to the propulsion motor. This pump has a modified regulator and is controlled by a specially developed electronic controller. With this combination, this system reacts very quickly to changes in speed. Thus, the generator always delivers its electrical power, independent of the diesel rpm and under any desired sailing condition.

By choosing the EcoGenDrive shaft generator, an (additional) diesel generator can be saved. Moreover, this sustainable application does not require a costly exhaust aftertreatment system with particulate filter or AdBlue. The lower fuel consumption leads directly to a reduction in harmful emissions. Furthermore, the EcoGenDrive axle generator consists of top-quality hydraulic and electrical components from Linde Hydraulics and the high-speed controller from Völkel. Maintenance costs are thus drastically lower than with a conventional diesel generator. In short, the environmentally conscious and cost-saving choice for the future!
