An integrated environment control system (IECS) is proposed to satisfy the requirements of IMO (International Maritime Organization) for ship hull painting. The IECS has four elements for environment control, namely, desiccant dehumidification, heating, cooling, and ventilation. Five operating modes are proposed, with each operating mode consists of one to more elements in the IECS system. Energy saving operating mode is selected based on the weather conditions and the conditions of painting work. Energy saving control strategy is applied to each operating mode. Theoretical energy models of the different operation modes are presented, along with the control schemes for the annual …
