Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an air supply system (100) for supplying air to an outside of a hull (201) of a vessel (200). The vessel comprises an engine. The air supply system comprises one or more turbocharger(s) (10) for supplying a compressed main air flow to the engine of the vessel via a respective first flow path (11A). The air supply system comprises an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for recirculating exhaust gas into the compressed main airflow supplied to the engine via a second flow path (11B). The air supply system comprises a third flow path (11C) for supplying a sub-flow of compressed air to one or more Air Discharge Units (ADUs). The EGR system comprises a blower (31) arranged in the second flow path (11B) for supplying exhaust gas to the engine. The first flow path and the second flow path have a first connecting path (11AB) upstream of the blower (31) and a second connecting path (11BA) downstream of the blower. The third flow path is in fluid connection with the first flow path and the second flow path downstream of the blower, such that the sub-flow of compressed air can be extracted from the first flow path and/or the second flow path.
