SHAFT POWER METER FOR SHIP PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION AND SHAFT POWER LIMITATION
Optipower is a shaft power, torque and thrust meter, that can identify and segregate where the inefficinceies are, by defining and monitoring some Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
Although a variety of KPI can be used to improve ship performance, none is as direct, and produces such a direct correlation, as the complementary use of shaft power, torque and thrust meter, allowing the complete understanding where performance inefficiencies are.
In addition, it is also integrable with TecnoVeritas very own ShaPoLi system for EEXI regulation compliance
What do you get with your Torque meter:
- The sensor itself, along with a technician to install and commission;
- One touchscreen console (on the ECR) to monitor the Optipower and its outputs;
- An innovative LORA communication system, eliminating communication cabling between ECR and the Optipower;
- Full remote support and troubleshooting.
What do you get with your ShaPoLi System:
- All items above for the torque meter.
- An additional touchscreen console for the bridge.
- A tamper-proof system for logging, as required by IMO.
- Crew Training, along with full remote support, and troubleshooting
HOW DOES IT WORK
High Accuracy & Repeatability
Easy & Low-Cost Installation
Wireless Transmission
Maintenance Free
Note: The Optipower equipment images’ are representative, which means that elements such as the Main Unit box may change is position regarding the client needs’ and space available.
One sensor, lots of savings
The Optipower – Torque & Thrust Meter allows you to determine two of the most important parameters of a propulsion system – torque and thrust – to optimize the energy efficiency of your ship, including savings of up to 5% of fuel.
Know, monitor & predict the propulsion system performance
By linking power measured on the shaft and the thrust with the ship operational variables (consumption, distance in miles originating consumption/mile, etc.) Optipower – Torque & Thrust Meter allows the segregation of the inefficiency causes in the propulsion plant, for example, if it is due to a foul hull, foul propeller or a problem on the main engine.
Ship energy efficiency optimisation
The propulsion system is one of the most important systems in a vessel and is often ignored. However, its monitoring and analysis through sensors, such as the Optipower – Torque & Thrust Meter, makes it possible to optimize the ship’s energy efficiency.
Anticipate and prevent operational costs
Optipower has the ability to perceive the evolution of the engine efficiency and has the ability to perceive the evolution of the ship’s resistance, through the relationship between the several measured variables. By analyzing these, it’s possible to plan maintenance to prevent unexpected downtime, which often generates unnecessary expenses.
THE BEST PACKAGE FOR YOUR SHIP
SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE YOUR SHIP TO ITS BEST
It is estimated that in the next years the fuel prices will continue to rise. With planning and prediction through monitoring of systems, fuel saving is possible and easier than you may think.
