APPARATUS FOR REDUCING SHIP RESISTANCE

摘要

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for reducing ship bottom resistance comprises: a thermoelectric power generating unit generating power using waste heat generated in an engine of a ship; a first compressor compressing an air using power generated in the thermoelectric power generating unit; an air tank storing the air compressed in the first compressor; an injector receiving at least one among the compressed air generated in the first compressor and the compressed air stored in the air tank to inject the compressed air to the ship bottom to reduce frictional resistance of a hull and seawater; and a control unit determining a transfer path of the air compressed in the first compressor in accordance with an amount of the electric power generated in the thermoelectric power generating unit.
