Diagnosis and control platform DC650
The key component of the new innovative control and diagnosis platform DC650 is the central hardware module. Equipped with various inputs for sensors and actuators, multiple digital interfaces and embedded computing power all combined in a rugged housing it enables digitalization and monitoring of relevant system information in the field of industrial and marine application. WIFI and LAN connection enables easy accessible services with highly available HTML browser technology, which makes additional software components obsolete. As a plug-and-play-solution with fieldbus interface for communication with other components, it ensures low and cost-effective integration efforts.
Self-sufficient hydraulically actuated clutch system
With Prop.act – our new shifting clutch system – we have taken another step toward the future. The hydraulically actuated, wet-running clutch unit with shaft end connections on both sides, integrated oil supply and hydraulic control can be installed on a ship as a ready-to-use compact unit. A stand-by pump is additionally installed, that keeps the system self-contained at any time.
Prop.act hybrid series 212
Reducing our carbon footprint is an important target for the marine propulsion industry. Therefore, hybrid solutions are one of the main answers for an increase in sustainability in this business. The Prop.act hybrid is a standalone clutch system, which enables the user to easily drive the ship in different modes according to the current demands. Beside the main engine mode, where the clutch system allows a full speed range down to full-slip for e.g. firefighting with only the main engine, an optional PTI gives the opportunity to drive with only the e-motor or combined with the main engine. During the PTI mode an emission-free purely electric drive with reduced noise is possible by using only the e-motor. This full-electric mode has also the advantage of reducing the operation hours of the main engine, as the main engine can be shut down. The Prop.act hybrid also offers a boost mode, where the e-motor provides additional power to the main engine for peak loads. Finally, the generator mode allows charging the batteries of the electrical power supply system.
