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
