Electrification<\/strong>, electric engines<\/a><\/strong> and hybrid powertrain<\/strong> are, along with alternative and renewable energies<\/strong><\/a>, some of the most hot trends that are not only affecting the automotive sector, but having in fact a huge impact with a growing interest for electrification and hybrid solutions in the maritime sector<\/strong>, for hybrid yachts and ships<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are indeed yachts that combine the traditional endothermic engine, powered by diesel fuels, with an electric engine. On ships, the endothermic engine doesn\u2019t drive directly the propellers, but provide power to power generators that power electric engines controlled by an inverter<\/a><\/strong>, that finally make the propeller move.<\/p>\n

Hybrid yachts and ships are thus an innovative and green alternative solution, using electric energy stored in batteries in order to power these electric drives. Clearly, all of these electric engines, power inverters and electrical equipments generate great amounts of heat that must be dissipated<\/strong>. And the amounts of heat involved are way greater than those to cope with in the automotive sector, where a simple radiator can provide the cooling of the equipments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
