SCD COMBI DRIVE – ELECTRIC AZIMUTH THRUSTERS In combination with a power management system, electric drives increase the efficiency of the propulsion system and reduce fuel consumption. Electric energy generation systems on board are capable of producing only the power currently required and distributing it to the various consumers. The desired thrust is set via the speed of the electric motor (frequency control). The connected generators always run at the optimum operating point. Combined with a SCHOTTEL Combi Drive offering a high hydrodynamic and mechanical efficiency, such a system is...

SCD · Combi Drive Electric motor (Main propulsion) Installation flange Steering motor Vertical power transmission shaft Steering gear Torsional steel coupling Push propeller SCD SINGLE PROPELLER VERSION Underwater gearbox Pull propeller SCD TWIN PROPELLER VERSION COMPACT, MAINTENANCE-FRIENDLY DESIGN In contrast with other commercially available systems, in which the electric motor is housed in an underwater pod that is overdimensioned for this purpose, the motor in the SCD is vertically integrated into the support tube of the thruster and thus inside the vessel. The SCD therefore features a...

MORE POWER IN TRANSIT, LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION The twin propeller version is equipped with two propellers rotating in the same direction. The optimum matching of the system components “propellers” and “housing with integrated fins” results in a considerable increase in hydrodynamic efficiency as compared with systems incorporating just one propeller. And all of this is achieved with a remarkably simple mechanical system incorporating only few rotating parts, since the SCD is equipped with just one reduction stage. As the drive motor is integrated vertically into the thruster, there is no...

EFFICIENCY FOR MANOEUVRING AND DYNAMIC POSITIONING Well installation: The SCD can be installed in the vessel from below or from above. Connection to the vessel’s structure is accomplished in both cases via a single central flange. Installation from below is carried out in a dry-dock. The SCD is drawn into the well of the vessel from below and bolted to the vessel’s structure through the flange. Well installation from above allows the SCD to be installed in a floating vessel. The SCD is lowered into the well of the vessel from above and bolted to the vessel’s structure through the flange....

STEERING SYSTEMS – PRECISE AND USER-FRIENDLY Propulsion systems are only as good as their steering. Optimally adapted data exchange between the different components (propulsion units and joystick or steering console) is therefore top priority. A further priority is a user interface that is as intuitive as possible, enabling safe manoeuvring even with frequent changes of master. Here too, SCHOTTEL steering systems set the course, both literally and figuratively. In close cooperation, electronics engineers and propulsion specialists develop complete steering and control systems (SST)...
