Wind assisted propulsor

Wind assisted propulsor

Function : The wind assisted propulsor is an energy-saving device that utilizes wind energy to provide additional propulsion for ships. Its core principle is the Magnus effect: when a rotating cylinder moves through a wind field, a pressure difference is generated on its two sides, creating a lift force perpendicular to the wind direction. By controlling the direction of rotation, this lift force can be converted into thrust that propels the ship forward.
Features :

Convenient maintenance: Adopts modular design and clear internal structure to facilitate routine inspection and maintenance

Intelligent control: Is equipped with an automatic control system to respond to changes in wind conditions and ship course in real time

Strong adaptability: Adopts movable and tiltable design to adapt to different ship types and loading/unloading needs

Environmental protection compliance: Reduces carbon emissions, improves the CII rating of ships, and meets the new regulations of the International Marine Organization (IMO)

Energy saving and consumption reduction: Achieves an average energy saving of ≥2% per unit

System compositionApplication scenarios
Rotating outer cylinder: made of lightweight and
high-strength composite materials
Base and supporting inner tower: Is installed on the deck,
bearing the weight of the propulsor and wind load
Drive system: The electric motor is located on the propulsor
base or inside, driving the propulsor to rotate at high speed
Control system: intelligently adjusts rotation speed and
direction based on wind speed, wind direction, and ship course
Ship type: Bulk carriers, oil tankers, container ships and
other large ocean-going vessels
Wind conditions: Suitable for sea areas with frequent
crosswinds and oblique winds
Regulatory requirements: Ships that need to improve their
CII rating or meet energy efficiency standards such as EEXI and
EEDI
