CPP Bow Thruster

CPP Bow Thruster:

Bow thruster with fixed pitch propeller(FPP) and controllable pitch propeller(CPP).

Controllable pitch propeller bow thruster advantages:

1, The main engine can keep srated power any sailing condition, improving the speed of the ship or thrust increases.

2,At part load by adjusting the host speed n. And pitch ratio H / D can obtain higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption oars, the ship under the high-speed economy, improve endurance.

3, The main engine speed n. Constant, changing H / D to obtain different speed,slow speed of the ship can sailor inverted flight. So the host does not have touse the gearbox or reversing device.

4,It conducive to driving the auxiliary load the ship.

CPP bow thruster consist:

Tunnel thruster,Drive motor,Hydraulic unit with electric pump and control valve,Drive motor starter with built-in load sensing device,control panel,central control unit.

Bow thrusters make docking easier, since they allow the captain to turn the vessel to port or starboard side, without using the main propulsion mechanism which requires some forward motion for turning.

Hi-sea Group supply power from 50KW---1000KW bow thruster .Quality management and product strict according to IACS requirement. ABS,BV,LR,RINA,CCS etc certificate supply

CPP bow thruster ,when power bigger than 600KW the cost will be less than FPP bow thruster.So ,it is mainly apply on large vessels.
