<p>A method for providing heat on a ship (100) having at least two combustion engines (12, 14) may comprise stopping operation of at least a first one (12) of the at least two combustion engines, and operating at least a second one (14) of the at least two combustion engines in a heat generation mode in which the heat output of the at least one combustion engine operating in the heat generation mode is greater than in the multi-engine operation mode. The step of operating at least a second one of the at least two combustion engines in the heat generation mode may include increasing a temperature of charge air of the at least one combustion engine (14) operating in the heat generation mode to a temperature that is higher than in the multi-engine operation mode, thereby increasing a temperature of exhaust gas, and recovering heat from the exhaust gas having the increased temperature.</p> |
