FCM: FUEL CONSUMPTION MANAGEMENT See how the FCM System can reduce costs and improve your profits today!
FCM – PARAMETERS • Logs data for up to four Main Engines and four Auxiliary Engines. • Current consumption • Combustion and temperature Entry & Return • Vessel Speed • Engine RPM • Base and Heel Tilt • Electric power generated by auxiliary engines and power consumption in equipment (lighting, cooling compressors, etc.) • Temperature of exhaust fumes • Any parameter (torque, turbo pressure, • temperature hatchery, etc.)
FCM – WHY MONITOR CONSUMPTION? • Consumption on some vessels is about 50% of total operating costs • Fuel prices are on an upward trend and it is difficult to pass on the increase in energy costs over the price of fish • Limitations on catch quotas • All of this implies that the only way to reduce costs would be to • REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION
FCM – CAN CONSUMPTION BE REDUCED? • From a certain speed, increased consumption becomes disproportionate to the speed increase obtained • On navigation, a 1% reduction in the engine operating regime has resulted in reductions of greater than 10% • SAVE MONEY BY OPTIMIZING CONSUMPTION!
FCM – REDUCING CONSUMPTION From the data collected by the FCM system, you can detect when any increased consumption is excessive and thereby achieve an optimum navigation speed Stops wasting fuel without significantly changing the operating parameters of the vessel Fuel consumption has a parabolic characteristic curve – at a certain point, the engine is given the maximum power with minimal fuel consumption. The FCM system helps to find that point and OPTIMIZES FUEL CONSUMPTION.
FCM – DISPLAY OF CONSUMPTION In addition, you can see the average and total consumption for the latest X hours and days, independent of data from the last period Thanks to the display of “AVERAGE CONSUMPTION”, we can readily see the consumption in the last period and compare different forms of navigation. Press “RESET AVERAGES” to restart the calculation.
FCM – ROUTE CALCULATIONS 1) Set the distance 3) When the parameters are stabilized, click “SAVE DATA” 2) Put the vessel at the desired cruising speed You can determine the actual savings in Euros for different speeds
FCM – LOAD COMPENSATION The constant tilt on navigation results at an increased resistance that requires greater thrust. Find the OPTIMAL POINT OF NAVIGATION through the FCM sensor.
FCM – CHECK THE POWER CONSUMPTION • Power consumption translates into fuel consumption. • Check electrical power generated by the engines and the consumption of different processes (lighting, cooling, etc.). • We offer SOLUTIONS AND ADVICE to OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS!
FCM – STUDY THE BEHAVIOR OF YOUR VESSELS • View all logged data • Mobile display • Data cursor to see DETAILS at a specific point • Study the behavior of your vessel QUICKLY AND EASILY through graphical displays
FCM – TAILOR-MADE ALARMS • Independent programming of “alarms of interest” to help maintain the OPTIMAL OPERATION of a vessel • Visual and audible alarms that are not a constant annoyance to the skipper
FCM – DATA LOGGING • Local data storage. • Data in CSV (Excel) to memory card • Data can be extracted through a USB storage device • Data can be shown in graphs • Graphical menus can display all information to be studied locally • PLUS REMOTE DELIVERY with FCM’s links to GSM-GPRS, WiFi or other satellite connections, so that detailed studies can be made from a land base and allows for remote management of maneuvers. RESULT: Real time information and maneuvers to achieve OPTIMAL RESULTS! • FCM provides consultation for on-site and remote management
FCM – GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT AND NEED! • FCM can help you modify the patterns of operation to make your investment more profitable by reducing operating costs. How? • Adapting the management of your vessel for OPTIMAL PERFORMACE • Different types of doors and trawls • Propeller design • Electronics, including lighting • Low-friction paints • Renewable energy • Thanks to FCM, new products on saving fuel can be easily studied. • Almost IMMEDIATELY ENHANCES PROFITS! • START SAVING MONEY NOW!
FCM - ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: WINCHES • Viewing and Registration: • Cable out of Winch • Rotation Speed (RPM) • Speed Cable Outlet • Tension / Hydraulic Pressure (optional) • A more dynamic display with animated images • Trend bars that identify the state of the doors • Alarm configuration • Configuration of characteristic parameters of the winch • Graphics tab to review operations
FCM - ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: FUEL BUNKERING FCM offers an indispensable option for vessels that bunker fuel on the high seas. The FCM system practically pays for itself the first time you buy fuel, especially if there is a deviation between the fuel costs quoted and the billed cost • Viewing and Recording: • Bunkering Speed (M3/min) • Total on Last Bunker • Fuel Entry Temperature • Density and Viscosity • Discriminates the air introduced into the pipe • Fuel Entry Presure (optional)
FCM - ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: TRAWL SENSORS Records data from almost any Trawl Monitoring System: SIMRAD I.T.I. and P.I. MARPORT SCANMAR Studies the behavior of the Trawl and verifies proper operation
FCM - ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: TEMPERATURE LOGGING • Registers temperature of work zones (holds, hatchery, cold storage, etc.) • Can include records of electrical consumption or generation by the equipment (auxiliary engines, compressors, etc.) • Any area that requires specific temperatures can be monitored by the FCM system.
