Kawasaki-KWJ Side Thruster |
|
|
Compact design
With a 23% reduction in tunnel length compared to former
models, the KT—B thruster can be installed Closer
to the vessels fore Or aft end, enlarging the
distance between the thruster and the vessel's
gravity centre and thus in-creasing the vessel's
turning moment |
|
|
|
|
Well-balanced
performance
Starboard side thrust is equal to port Side thrust for well
balance.In addition, overall performance is
superior to former models. |
|
|
|
Minimum Vibration
Hull Vibration and noise have been reduced by the application
Of such advanced techno1ogy as a skewed
propeller,an anti vortex device on the stay,an
enlarged Clearance between the blade tip and the
inside Of the tunnel,and a Wide space between
the blades and the stays. |
|
|
|
Easy maintenance
The thruster unit is easily removed from the tunnel enabling
assembly/disassembly in a good environment |
|
|
|
|
Easy blade
replacement
Each propeller blade is easily replaced inside the
tunnel.When replacement is done afloat,the
thruster tunnel is kept above sea level by a
hull ballast adjustment. |
|
|
|
Easy mounting thruster tunnel
Our newly designed standard tunnel,Which has substantial
plate thickness and weld the hull Structure at
any position directly,can Offer easy welding
work. |
