ABB anticipates a system of propulsion electrical worker for ships that the efficiency of the consumption improves
He is ideal for naval average tugs and for constructions offshore let alone for ferries and transport ships LNG
September 6, 2016
ABB has introduced a new system of propulsion electrical worker for the ships of which it has emphasized the exceptional efficiency in the fuel burnup. The Helvetic group has specified that Azipod XL, the last version of the main azimutal systems of propulsion ABB electrical worker, elevate until 20% the efficiency in the fuel consumption regarding the modern systems of propulsion to axis line. ABB has explained that such increase is realized thanks to an only system of nozzles that accelerates the flow of the water in the propeller in order to increase of the thrust and to the redesign of the same propeller finalized to guarantee a minor resistance to the water.
ABB has specified that the concept applied to Azipod XL can be programmed in order to favor a high thrust to lowlands speed and to maintain good peculiarity to higher speeds, adapting so to ships as naval tugs and means for constructions offshore. Other types of ships adapted are ferries and transport ships LNG.
