Бавио сам се мало овом темом синоћ и јутрос. Предности у односу на конвенционалне системе:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
- 15% to 30% speed increase over conventional systems.
- 15% to 30% increase in fuel efficiency.
- More efficient than I/O’s
- Corrosion resistant
- Size adaptability, from 100 hp to over 10,000 hp applications.
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Ability to adjust propeller submergence while underway.
- Ability to adjust submergence to match horsepower output permits conversion of more thrust as
appropriately needed.
- Propellers ventilate to the surface rather than cavitate under the hull reducing noise and destructive hull and
prop erosion.
- Flexibility in engine installation location.
- Less Vibration than Inboard or I/O applications
- Shallow water operation (elimination of underwater appendages).
- Accessible propeller servicing.
- Steerage by the positive thrust of the propeller and not by the propeller thrust to the rudder. This is -
equivalent to sports car rack-and-pinion steering performance.
- For all it’s sophisticated performance, it is a less mechanically complex and fragile design than other
propulsion systems.
- Most models are available in Magnesium Bronze or Aluminum.
- No limitations to shaft angle, blade top clearance, draft to restrict selection of optimum diameter propeller.
- Adaptable to a wide range of engine applications, whether gas, diesel, or turbine.
