An exhaust gas cleaning system comprises a first sub system including a scrubber unit comprising a scrubber arranged to wash the exhaust gas with a scrubber fluid, and a centrifugal separator arranged in communication with the scrubber unit for receiving the scrubber fluid after washing and separate it into a first and a second fraction, which second fraction is more polluted than the first fraction. The exhaust gas cleaning system further comprises a second sub system including a membrane filter arranged in communication with the centrifugal separator for receiving the first fraction output from the centrifugal separator and separating it into a third and a fourth fraction, which fourth fraction is more polluted than the third fraction. A method for cleaning exhaust gas onboard a ship involves cleaning an exhaust gas onboard a ship.

A method filtering exhaust gas may include attaching an exhaust tube to an engine at an exhaust gas inlet of the exhaust tube. The method may also include filling an outer tube of the exhaust tube with a liquid. The method may further include filtering the exhaust gas by passing the exhaust gas through an inner gas distributor disposed inside the outer tube, and through a plurality of holes of the inner gas distributor into the liquid of the outer tube. In addition, the method may include expelling filtered exhaust gas through an exhaust gas outlet of the exhaust tube.

A power pack for converting waste heat from exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine to electrical energy includes a working fluid loop fluidly connecting an evaporator, an expander, a condenser and a pump. The power pack also includes a working fluid tank fluidly connected to the working fluid loop between an outlet of the condenser and an inlet of the pump. The working fluid tank has a single working fluid port operable to receive working fluid from the outlet of the condenser and to supply working fluid to the inlet of the pump. The power pack also includes a power pack control unit in communication with the working fluid tank. The power pack control unit is operable to change a pressure of the working fluid in the working fluid loop at the inlet of the pump by changing the pressure of the working fluid in the working fluid tank.

Methods and installations for treatment of exhaust gases from marine diesel engines, in particular for reduction of the sulphur oxides (SO.sub.x) in such gases, where the reaction products resulting from the mixing of an alkaline aerosol with the exhaust gases are separated-out by means of one or more rotating centrifugal separator rotors (20) of the kind comprising a stack of narrowly spaced separation discs (22).

A human load of regularly measuring a pH of a position 4 meters from a discharge point during a term of a commissioning of a ship with a scrubber apparatus is reduced. Provided is an apparatus provided inside a ship having a scrubber, including a first pH measuring instrument which measures a pH value of washing water discharged from the scrubber to outboard, a second pH measuring instrument which measures a pH value of washing water supplied from outboard to the scrubber, and a calculating unit which calculates a pH value of water at a predetermined position outboard, based on a dilution ratio which shows a ratio by which the washing water discharged to outboard is diluted at the predetermined position outboard, the pH value measured by the first pH measuring instrument, and the pH value measured by the second pH measuring instrument.

A waste heat recovery system in thermal communication with an exhaust conduit of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes a condenser. The condenser includes a working fluid conduit configured to connect to a working fluid loop of the waste heat recovery system and a coolant fluid conduit configured to connect to a coolant fluid loop used to cool the internal combustion engine of the vehicle. The coolant fluid conduit includes a coolant fluid inlet and a coolant fluid outlet. The waste heat recovery system also includes a coolant fluid bypass fluidly connected between the coolant fluid inlet and the coolant fluid outlet. The coolant fluid bypass includes a coolant fluid control valve configured to vary a portion of the volume of coolant fluid that flows through the coolant fluid bypass based on a temperature of a working fluid in the working fluid loop.

A gas purification apparatus includes: a housing to which a gas is introduced; a filter portion for removing an impure substance in the gas from the gas, the filter portion being disposed inside the housing; and a gas purification agent for removing a removal target substance in the gas from the gas, the gas purification agent being disposed, inside the housing, on the filter potion or in a space at a downstream side of the filter portion with respect to a flow of the gas.

A droplet generator includes a chamber including an enclosed space filled with gas having vapor, a tube extending through the chamber, a gas flow channel inside the tube, and a heater in the chamber. The tube includes a sidewall having an outer surface exposed to the enclosed space of the chamber, and an inner surface. The tube contains liquid. The heater is operable to change a phase of the liquid contained in the tube to vapor such that the vapor is provided into the enclosed space. A pressure in the enclosed space is higher than a pressure in the gas flow channel such that the vapor in the enclosed space flows to the gas flow channel by passing through the tube.
