Frese FUELSAVE®: Revolutionizing Fuel Efficiency in Marine Operations 

The Frese FUELSAVE System, developed by Frese A/S, represents a breakthrough in intelligent energy optimization for marine and industrial applications. Built on Frese’s long-standing expertise in dynamic balancing and control technology, FUELSAVE is designed to help ship operators and industries reduce fuel consumption, optimize energy efficiency, and lower emissions—all while maintaining reliable operation and compliance with tightening environmental regulations. At its core, the Frese FUELSAVE System addresses one of the greatest challenges faced by the maritime and industrial sectors today: the need to operate sustainably while controlling rising fuel and operating costs.

Traditional cooling water and energy management systems often run at fixed setpoints, leading to unnecessary energy use, oversized pumping, and wasted fuel. FUELSAVE introduces a smart, demand-driven approach that continuously adapts cooling water flows to the actual load requirements of engines and auxiliary systems. By doing so, it ensures that pumps, engines, and heat exchangers operate at optimal efficiency at all times.

The system integrates advanced dynamic valves, sensors, and control technology, enabling fully automatic regulation of cooling water temperature and flow. This real-time adaptability eliminates excess energy consumption caused by throttling, bypassing, or over-pumping, which are common in conventional setups. In marine applications, FUELSAVE optimizes the central cooling system to reduce electrical load from pumps and improve overall engine efficiency—translating directly into measurable fuel savings and reduced CO₂ emissions.

Independent studies and operational case stories have demonstrated that FUELSAVE can reduce pump energy consumption by up to 80%, with additional indirect fuel savings of up to 3% for the main engine through improved operating conditions. These savings are not only significant in terms of cost reduction but also provide operators with a faster return on investment, often within two years. For shipping companies, this means the potential to meet strict IMO decarbonization targets more easily, while simultaneously lowering OPEX. Beyond direct savings, the FUELSAVE System offers operators enhanced system reliability and operational transparency. Continuous monitoring of performance data allows for predictive maintenance, reduced risk of overheating, and optimized thermal balance. The system can be easily retrofitted into existing vessels and installations or integrated into new builds, making it a flexible solution for operators of diverse fleets and facilities.

With global shipping under increasing regulatory pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions, solutions like Frese FUELSAVE are no longer optional—they are essential. By combining proven hydraulic expertise with smart control strategies, Frese A/S is delivering a technology that not only supports environmental responsibility but also provides a strong commercial advantage to forward-thinking operators.

In summary, the Frese FUELSAVE System is more than an energy-saving technology; it is a strategic tool for sustainability and competitiveness. It empowers marine and industrial operators to reduce fuel consumption, cut emissions, and lower operational costs—while ensuring reliable, optimized performance across critical cooling systems. With FUELSAVE, Frese A/S continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and a greener future for the maritime and industrial sectors.
