ABB reports that it will deliver 1,500 NINVA non-invasive temperature sensors for integration into eMarine’s energy management systems, the first introduction of the technology to the global marine sector.
eMarine’s systems are in use across cruise and cargo vessels to support fuel and CO₂ monitoring. Data from the sensors will be used to optimise heat recovery, cooling water and ventilation processes.
ABB says the clamp-on sensors offer the same accuracy as invasive thermowells without requiring perforation of pipe walls and are designed to operate in marine environments.
The measurement technology has already been deployed in sectors such as oil and gas and chemicals, with this agreement represents its first application in shipping.
“This is the first time we are bringing the benefits of NINVA to the global marine industry, helping to drive decarbonisation in the sector,” said Dr Guruprasad Sosale from ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division.
