- 06/11/2007, CP Propeller - Product Information
- The purpose of this Product Information brochure is to act as a guide in the project planning of MAN Diesel´s Alpha propeller equipment. The brochure gives a description of the basic design principles of the Alpha Controllable Pitch (CP) propeller equipment. It contains dimensional sketches, thereby making it possible to work out shaft line and engine room arrangement drawings. Furthermore, a guideline to some of the basic layout criteria is given.
- 26/11/2005, Propulsion of Offshore Support Vessels
- The development of the offshore propulsion business at MAN Diesel dates back to the early 1970s, and has since then not only been focused on supplying complete propulsion systems but has also been concentrated on the associated know-how and technology. The demand for system engineering and package responsibility has grown in recent years. One reason is the reduced technical staff at most shipyards in combination with outsourcing of technical work to consultants and partners.
- 06/01/2004, Alphatronic 2000 PCS Propulsion Control System
- The purpose of the Product Information brochure is to act as a guideline during project planning and lay out of the Alphatronic Propulsion Control Systems. This 26-page paper gives a description of the system in general, standard control elements and options available for tailoring a remote control system for the individual vessel and its propulsion system configuration, operating modes and manoeuvre stations.
- 04/01/2004, Hydrodynamics of Ship Propellers
- Designing propellers for ships has always been a challenge due to the complexity of all the factors involved. These factors are not only related to the propeller itself but also to the hull and the propulsion system which must work together as integrated systems in an optimised and reliable way. The following 22-page paper presents some of the tools and propeller design parameters worked with.
