Propeller Design All ships have individual needs. Speed is important
for some ships. Towing pull is more important for others. To satisfy these
needs Finnøy use the most suitable software together with Finnøy’s
knowledge when designing propeller blades. The propeller blade is designed
for best possible performance regarding thrust, efficiency, noise and
vibration. The blades are ground and balanced according to ISO 484 standards. |
Nozzle With ships that need maximum towing thrust a
nozzle could be fitted. The nozzle increases the bollard pulls by approx
30%-40% over an open propeller absorbing the same power. It can be delivered
as a steering or fixed nozzle. |
