An experimental investigation was conducted on a 300 m3/h test platform,utilizing 30 wt.% monoethanolamine (MEA) as the absorbent,with a CO2 concentration of 4%-5% by volume in the exhaust gas emitted from the ship.The regeneration energy consumption of the system was minimized by optimizing key parameters,such as the gas-to-liquid ratio and regeneration pressure.Additionally,two energy-saving processes were evaluated:rich liquid recirculation and rich liquid split-flow process.The results indicate that increasing the regeneration pressure significantly reduces the latent heat of vaporization by 56.29%.Furthermore,when the rich liquid recirculation constitutes 75% of the lean liquid recirculation volume,energy consumption is reduced by approximately 12% compared to the conventional process.Additionally,using 5% of the rich liquid split-flow rate results in a 2%-4% reduction in energy consumption compared to the conventional conditions.The findings of this study may serve as a valuable reference for the practical implementation of carbon capture technology on ships.
