Torque Marine IPS Innovative Propulsion Systeme GmbH & Co. KG
Concept
This innovation makes it possible to keep the rotation speed always in the optimum range of performance – only the actually required engine performance is made available. By combining several torque drives in one shafting string, a redundancy is reached which leads to a better reliability and failure safety. This also supplies new redundancy to vessels with only one propelling screw.
Additionally, the characteristic slip of the screw (cavitation) associated with conventional ship drives is reduced by almost 100% during reversing – the maneuverability is optimized.
