Fishing operations are primarily concentrated in the cold season, and heating and hot water requirements are common among small and medium-sized fishing vessels. During operation, only a portion of the energy generated by fuel combustion in a marine diesel engine is converted into propulsion power, with over 50% dissipated as waste heat. This waste heat, generated by the jacket water, accounts for approximately 25% of the total heat generated by the diesel engine.

Waste heat recovery systems for large ships are bulky and costly, making them difficult to implement on small and medium-sized fishing vessels, where space is limited and economical considerations are crucial.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment relates to a system and method for recovering waste heat from jacket water of a ship. The system is applied to small and medium-sized fishing vessels and includes: The main engine 4 of the ship provides the jacket water in the form of a heat source module. It can be understood that the main engine 4 of the ship uses the waste heat generated during its operation to heat its own jacket water; the first plate heat exchanger 2 and the second plate heat exchanger 3 are connected in series in sequence after the main engine 4 of the ship to form a two-stage heat exchange. It can be understood that the first plate heat exchanger 2 is used to process the first stage heat exchange, and the second plate heat exchanger 3 is used to process the second stage heat exchange; on this basis, the main engine 4 of the ship is connected to the first plate heat exchanger 2 through a jacket water pipe system for heat exchange, and the jacket water pipe system is filled with jacket water. The first plate heat exchanger The heat exchanger 2 is connected to the second plate heat exchanger 3 by a seawater pipe system for heat exchange. The seawater pipe system is filled with seawater.

After the heat exchange is achieved, the seawater becomes a heat source. Then, the second plate heat exchanger 3 is implemented in a manner of achieving heat exchange between the seawater and soft water. The heated soft water becomes a usable heat medium.

The second part of the soft water flows through the heat pump 13 to be heated and then supplied to the cabin air conditioner 14 to release heat; S5.
