One of the challenges for creating objects of marine equipment operating in arctic conditions is to prevent freezing of fluids in tanks at extremely low temperatures as it may cause damage to the ship and its systems. This problem can be solved with efficient heating systems for ship tanks. In the paper the ballast tank heating simulation and optimization of heating coil position is discussed. The considered heating coil is typical for icebreakers and ice-class vessels (Arc 5 and above). On the basis of the performed computations the recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of ship heating systems are formulated.
