Abstract

Nowadays marine propulsion systems based on thermal machines that operate under the diesel cycle have positioned themselves as one of the main options for this type of applications. The main comparative advantages of diesel engines, compared to other propulsion systems based on thermal machines, are the low specific fuel consumption, residuals and their higher thermal efficiency. However, its main disadvantage lies in the emissions produced by combustion, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), oxide sulphur (SOx) and oxide nitrogen (NOx). These emissions are directly related to the operating conditions of the propulsion system [1].
