Designed for both deepwell and submerged pumps for electric fuel systems, the new CS (cryogenic submerged) pump is installed at the bottom of the tank.
Release of the pump coincides with the increased investment interest in LNG-powered ships.
By integrating a special self-cleaning filter into the design of the pump, Svanehøj aims to ensure optimal flow and efficiency of operations.
“Our ESG focus is about developing technical solutions for ships to support the transition to cleaner energy types,” explained Johnny Houmann, Director of Sales & Projects, Svanehøj.
“With the CS pump, we meet some technical challenges to ensure a higher efficiency of the pump and improve uptime during operation.”
According to classification society DNV, at the end of August, a total of 316 LNG-powered ships were in operation, while a further 511 were on order.
240 ships were ordered in 2021 and in 2022 the order level is approximately 10% higher than the previous year.
“With the new CS pump for LNG, we are strengthening our position in a rapidly developing market,” said Houman.
Energy advisor Rystad Energy has estimated that global investments in LNG infrastructure will grow $27bn in 2022 to $42bn in 2024.
