Application of German SKL bearing in marine energy industry

Industry application overview
In the rapidly developing marine energy industry, many people are faced with the challenge of proving, optimizing and preparing marine energy technologies for commercialization, and ultimately developing sustainable development with preferred technology partners. This is our starting point. SKL has a good record in reliable technology, which can be customized according to the requirements under harsh sea water conditions. With our expertise in design and engineering, we encourage you to work closely from the beginning in order to achieve the best possible success in the future.
Typical equipment conditions in the industry
Tidal energy is the energy generated by tidal movement, and it is the earliest marine power resource used by mankind. Tidal generator is a motor that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is usually driven by steam turbine, water turbine or internal combustion engine. Small tidal generators can also be driven by windmills or other machinery through gears or belts. There are severe challenges such as heavy load, impact load, humidity and corrosion in this working condition. SKL's various bearing products help to improve the working efficiency and overall reliability of the tidal generator.
Wave energy power generation is to convert wave energy into mechanical energy or hydraulic energy through wave energy device, and then into electrical energy. Wave energy has the advantages of high energy density and wide distribution. It is an inexhaustible renewable and clean energy. Especially in the winter when energy consumption is large, the wave energy available is also the largest. There are heavy loads, impact loads, humidity, corrosion, etc. in the wave power generation conditions. SKL's bearing products can help customers solve problems.
The energy obtained by using the temperature difference between the warm surface water heated by solar energy and the colder deep water in the ocean to generate electricity is ocean thermal energy, also known as ocean thermal energy. Because sea water is a material with large heat capacity, and the volume of the sea is so large, the heat contained by sea water is huge. These heat energy mainly comes from solar radiation, and in addition, the heat released from the earth's interior to the sea water; Heat release of radioactive substances in sea water; The heat generated by ocean current friction and the radiant energy of other celestial bodies, but 99.99%, come from solar radiation. Therefore, the thermal energy of seawater varies greatly with the location of the sea area. Ocean thermal energy is one of the important sources of electric energy. The system is mainly composed of condenser, evaporator, steam turbine, generator set, etc. The equipment under this working condition has adverse working conditions such as heavy load, impact, humidity, corrosion, etc. SKL's various professional bearing products help to improve the performance of the entire equipment system.
